Daily Sun Protection | Protecting Against UVA & UVB Rays

An invisible broad-spectrum SPF 30 mineral sunscreen that is never greasy and works great under makeup. This daily defense sunscreen shield also helps protect against environmental factors that contribute to skin aging.

Creates a mineral shield. Unlike chemical sunscreens that typically penetrate the skin and absorb UV rays, the zinc oxide in this formula sits on the skin’s surface to deflect damaging UVA/UVB rays.

Protects from early signs of aging. Winter cherry and beta-carotene help protect the skin from blue light emitted from smartphones, tablets, and computers, while moringa helps remove impurities caused by pollution.

Reef-safe. True to our mission to plant the seeds for a sustainable future for our planet, its resources, and its inhabitants, this daily defense sunscreen won’t harm aquatic life.

Clean formula. For your peace of mind, this 100% mineral SPF is formulated without silicones, PEGs, nano-particle zinc, titanium dioxide, artificial fragrance, or essential oils.

Reviews

The only sunscreen

"I've been looking for this product my whole life. I am allergic to every sunscreen (chemical and mineral) I've ever tried and Green Defense is the first one that did not make my face swell. I am so grateful. I hope they never change the formula. I hope Farmacy offers a larger size bottle one day."

— Nichelle H. (5/5)

Best sunscreen I have found

"This is hands down the best sunscreen ever! Not only does it goes on smoothly and with no white cast, but its non greasy also. It also seems to work with the honey halo moisturizer in plumping and toning the skin. I do not need makeup of any kind and this lasts all day. Win-win!!"

— Leslie C. (5/5)

The Best

"I am in high school so aging has not been top of mind, I like to tan and be in the sun with my friends but I hated wearing sunscreen on my face until I tried this. It doesn’t break me out or feel heavy under makeup. It also doesn’t make my face super greasy and it doesn’t have a strong sunscreen smell, like I’ve tried so many sunscreens and I would smell it on my face the whole day. If you’re scared of wearing sunscreen because of breakouts you need to get this one."

— Sophia (5/5)

Green defense

"Great product, goes on light and smooth … love that it gets an “excellent” rating on the Yuca app for safe ingredients, It’s nearly impossible to find a sunscreen, that is healthy for my skin… this is a wonderful one! I’ve bought a bunch of them!!"

— Donna C. (5/5)

Best sunscreen I’ve come across!

"This sunscreen goes on so nicely over my moisturizer and blends in 100%. Very light weight and not greasy at all. . I will for sure be buying this on repeat forever."

— nicole a. (5/5)

Great daily sunscreen

"For former product from another company was discontinued I was dreading the search for a daily under my makeup sunscreen as I have had a difficult time finding on in the past. This one doesn’t disappoint! Thank you farmacy!"

— Kara W. (5/5)

I have used this sunscreen for years

"I was looking for a mineral sunblock without color or silicones. I am not a chemist, so I believe this is silicone free. I use it on my face, chest and arms. slight white cast that color corrects after I put on my make up. I prefer white cast to endocrine disruptors."
