The most important ingredients

Multi-spectrum protection

This product protects against UVA, UVB and high-energy visible light (blue light). Some formulas also provide infrared-A protection via antioxidant actives.

Function: Sun protection

Jojoba oil

Actually a liquid wax, not an oil - very similar to the human skin's lipid layer.

Function: Can care for the skin without clogging pores and support the natural moisture balance.

Vitamin C

The most important water-soluble antioxidant of the skin.

Function: Can brighten the complexion, support resilience, ease pigment spots and protect from UV damage.

Vitamin E

Fat-soluble antioxidant - protects the cell membranes and works synergistically with vitamin C.

Function: Can neutralise free radicals, strengthen the skin barrier and boost the effect of vitamin C.

Application

Remove the cap and lightly tap on the bottom of the brush so the powder falls into the bristles. Apply in circular motions to face, neck and décolleté.

Morning use as the last step of your skincare routine. Ideal for touch-ups over make-up.

Reapply every 2 hours in direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions

Is powder sunscreen enough as a sole SPF?

As a top-up application yes, as a sole protection no. Ideal for refreshing sun protection during the day over make-up — a practical alternative to applying liquid SPF over a finished make-up look.

Can I also use the powder in the morning as a base sun protection?

Not recommended. Powders are difficult to dose adequately — you need a much larger amount for full SPF protection, which results in a cakey, thick look. In the morning, a liquid SPF (e.g. Smart Tone or Sunscreen + Primer) is always the more effective base.

Can I apply the powder under make-up?

No, that does not work practically. Powder sunscreen needs a thick layer that would sit heavily under foundation or concealer and make the skin look caky. Use as a top-up application over finished make-up.

Which shade is right for me?

Light for fair skin tones, Medium for medium, and Deep for dark skin tones. The system is not adaptive — choose the shade closest to your skin tone.

Is the powder also suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are mineral filters that are less likely to cause irritation than chemical filters. Suitable for reactive, post-procedure, and acne-prone skin. The mineral formula leaves no pore-clogging residues.

About the brand

ZO Skin Health was developed by Dr. Zein Obagi - one of the world's most renowned dermatologists, with over 35 years of research in Beverly Hills. His principle: the skin is not “repaired” from the outside; instead, the cells themselves are activated. Because collagen, elastin and cell renewal decline with age, ZO products work in a targeted way across different skin layers - as system skincare following established treatment protocols, not as a single product.
