Not only protects but is a great moisturiser .

really good product

I like this a lot, it feels good on my skin and really seems to protect it from the elements. I use it on my face over the Nourish moisturiser - you don't need much.

Disappointed

Not moisturising at all. I think the zinc causes it to feel like a clay on your face.

Hi Tracey, thanks for your feedback and we are sorry that Shield was not up to your expectations. We choose to use a natural mineral sunscreen for Shield over the chemical alternatives which are often not great for human or planet health. Because of the zinc content, you only need to use a very small amount of Shield over another moisturiser, as it is not a daily moisturiser, it is a daily shield and should be used as such. If you're after a moisturiser, I'd recommend trying our Nourish or Soothe instead, and then applying just a small pea-sized amount of Shield on top of that in the daytime. I hope that you'll give Shield another try and please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
All the best - the PhycoHealth team

Nice but it left white smears on my face no matter how much I rubbed it in.
