About This Sunscreen
Trader Joe's Daily Facial Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 is a broad-spectrum physical sunscreen built for everyday facial use. A single active ingredient — Zinc Oxide 20.4% — sits on the skin surface and reflects both UVA and UVB rays without chemical absorption. The result is reliable broad-spectrum protection in a formula that's gentle enough for daily use on sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin.
The formula dries to a weightless matte finish with no grease and no midday shine. Oil-free and fragrance-free. Non-comedogenic. Water resistant for 40 minutes. The matte finish layers cleanly under foundation or tinted moisturizer, making it a practical final step in any morning skincare routine. Shake well before each use — separation is normal.
At 1.7 fl oz (50mL), it's a full-size tube that fits easily in a gym bag or travel kit. Not tested on animals. Packaged in a carton with a tube inside.
Apply as the last step in your morning skincare routine, 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours outdoors, after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, or immediately after towel drying. Note: this product may stain surfaces and fabrics — apply carefully and allow to absorb before contact with clothing.
