Calgary’s high elevation, dry air, and frequent sunshine present many challenges for your skin. Extended sun exposure and environmental stressors can lead to early aging, dryness, and irritation, especially without proper daily protection. Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is crafted for environments like Calgary. It delivers high-performance mineral SPF defense while hydrating and smoothing skin with every use.

Key Benefits

  • 100% Mineral-Based Protection (SPF 50 PA++++): Powered by zinc oxide, this formula provides broad-spectrum defense against harmful UVA and UVB rays without harsh chemical filters. 
  • Blue Light & Pollution Defense: Blocks 38.2% of harmful HEV (blue) light and shields from urban pollutants. 
  • Hydrating & Lightweight: Moisturizes with ingredients like Tremella mushroom extract, while blending invisibly into most skin tones. 
  • Non-Irritating Formula: Fragrance-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic, great for sensitive skin. 
  • Water/Sweat Resistant (40 minutes): Ideal for outdoor activities, even in Calgary’s variable weather.

 

Simple Daily Use

Shake well before applying. Use a nickel-sized amount for your face, and more for neck and body. Smooth in one direction and allow it to set. Reapply every two hours, or sooner if you're active. 

Pro tip: Apply gradually and blend well for a completely sheer finish on all skin tones. 


Built for Life in Calgary

From sunny strolls in the city to weekend escapes in the mountains, this sunscreen keeps up with your lifestyle. Its water- and sweat-resistant formula offers dependable all-day protection, and it's gentle enough for both adults and kids, making it an ideal daily essential for the whole family.
