Description

A lightweight, tinted mineral SPF designed to protect your skin while leaving it looking smooth, even and naturally radiant.

With 100% mineral UV filters and skin-loving ingredients, The City Shield gives you broad-spectrum UVA + UVB protection in a comfortable formula that sits beautifully on the skin, alone or under makeup.

Why you’ll love it

Mineral protection, made wearable. 100% mineral UV filters provide daily broad-spectrum UVA + UVB protection.

No obvious white cast. The flexible tints help the formula blend more naturally into different skin tones.

More than just SPF. Hyaluronic acid, sea buckthorn, jojoba esters and Vitamin E help keep skin feeling comfortable and cared for while you wear it.

A skin-enhancing finish. The tint helps even the appearance of the complexion and leaves skin looking naturally polished, with or without makeup.

Made with melanin-rich skin in mind. Because daily SPF shouldn't mean choosing between protecting your skin and looking ashy.

Is this for me?

The City Shield could be your everyday SPF if you:

• Want mineral rather than chemical UV filters
• Struggle with the white cast mineral sunscreens can leave behind
• Want daily UVA + UVB protection
• Prefer a lightweight, comfortable SPF
• Like a subtle tint that helps even the look of your skin
• Are trying to prevent existing dark marks and uneven tone from becoming more noticeable

And importantly:

SPF isn't just for sunny days. Daily protection is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your skin and help maintain a more even-looking complexion over time.

How to use City Shield

Apply generously to the face and neck every morning as the final step of your skincare routine, after moisturiser and before makeup.

Apply before sun exposure and reapply regularly throughout the day, particularly after swimming, sweating or towel drying.

Don't forget commonly missed areas such as the ears, hairline and neck.

WHY SPF MATTERS FOR UNEVEN TONE

Dark marks? Don't skip this step.

If you're trying to improve the appearance of dark marks or uneven skin tone, your treatment products are only part of the routine.

UV exposure can make pigmentation appear darker and more persistent, which is why daily sun protection matters just as much as what you're using at night.

Think of SPF as the step that helps protect the progress you're making with the rest of your routine.

p.s. this doubles as your primer. no extra step needed

FAQs

Is The City Shield a mineral sunscreen?
Yes. The City Shield uses 100% mineral UV filters - zinc oxide and titanium dioxide - to provide broad-spectrum UVA + UVB protection.

Will it leave a white cast?
The City Shield is tinted specifically to help minimise the visible white cast commonly associated with mineral sunscreens.

Is the tint like foundation?
No. This isn't designed to replace a full-coverage foundation. The tint helps the mineral SPF blend more naturally into the skin while giving the complexion a more even, polished appearance.

Can I wear it under makeup?
Yes. Apply The City Shield as the final step of your morning skincare routine, allow it to settle, then apply your makeup as usual.

Is it suitable for melanin-rich skin?
Yes. The City Shield was created with melanin-rich skin in mind, including the challenge of visible white cast from traditional mineral sunscreens.

Can SPF help prevent dark marks from getting worse?
Sun exposure can contribute to pigmentation becoming more noticeable. Consistent daily sun protection is therefore particularly important if you're working on the appearance of dark marks or uneven-looking skin tone.

Do I need SPF when it's cloudy or I'm not spending the day outside?
Daily SPF is recommended even when it isn't particularly sunny. UVA can still reach the skin on cloudy days and through windows, so making SPF part of your everyday morning routine is the easiest approach.

How much should I apply?
Apply The City Shield generously and evenly across the face and neck. Using too little sunscreen can reduce the level of protection you receive, so don't treat it like a serum where a tiny amount is enough.

Do I need to reapply it?
Yes. Reapply regularly when you're exposed to the sun, and particularly after swimming, sweating or towel drying.

Can I use it with the Peptide Serum?
Absolutely. Apply your Peptide Serum first, allow it to absorb, then apply The City Shield as the final skincare step before makeup.
