This hydrating, antioxidant-rich all-mineral formula is powered by patented EnviroScreen® Technology - which means comprehensive defence against UVA/UVB, Blue Light, Pollution, and Infrared radiation, combined with advanced antioxidants and nourishing, hydrating ingredients for long-term skin health.
FLEX features innovative, iron oxide pigments that bloom at your fingertips to deliver tone-adapting buildable colour coverage with a demi-matte finish. Available in six uniquely flexible shades, each ideal for a broad range of skin tones and undertones.
If you are not sure between the two shades, we recommend getting the lighter one.

Description
Description
How It Feels:
A lightweight and silky formula that blends seamlessly into most skin tones, leaving no traces of white, unlike other 100% pure mineral sunscreens and has a dewy, natural skin-like finish.
Why Colorescience Made It:
Colorescience's original Face Shield Classic SPF 50 features their signature hydrating, antioxidant-rich formula in a lightweight finish, with a universal shade for invisible coverage. This flex sunscreen is suitable for most skin tones and types due to its gentle and natural finish.
How to use
How to use
Tips to get the most out of your Face Shield Flex:
- Dispense onto your fingers, rub gently, and watch as the encapsulated iron oxide pigments are released and bloom in your fingertips.
- Once the formula is no longer white, apply it evenly on the face. Finish with just one layer for a naturally flawless finish, or build another layer or two for fuller coverage.
- PRO TIP: For a perfected, protected look, apply FLEX all over the face for a flawless canvas, and then use Glow to highlight the high points, and Bronze to contour.
Activate. Develop. Set.
Dispense onto fingertips and rub gently to release and activate encapsulated pigments.
As the shade begins to develop from white to your shade, apply to moisturised face and continue to blend for even coverage. Watch as it adjusts to your skin to immediately blur imperfections and even skin tone. The shade is fully developed when product is no longer white. Allow 1-2 minutes for shade to adjust completely.
Set with one of our Total Protection brush-on sunscreens or follow with foundation for full-colour coverage. Pro Tip: Layer underneath your foundation for fuller colour coverage or use with Face Shield Glow or Face Shield Bronze to enhance your look.
One and Done: Evenly apply one layer to entire face, including under eyes for a look that’s naturally you and powerfully protected. The Foundation Replacer: Build your coverage to your ideal level of flawless perfection.
After applying your first layer, wait 1 minute before applying another layer.
