Sheer Fluid SPF 50 is an all-mineral sunscreen with an ultra lightweight fluid consistency.

Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 utilizes chemical sunscreen filters in a complexion-smoothing clear gel formulation.

Sheer Fluid SPF 50 has been formulated with an innovative pigment technology that allows 22% zinc oxide to blend sheerly on all skin tones. The bottle utilizes an internal metalized ball that, when shaken, mixes the formula for its optimal blendability + performance. Shake well before dispensing + apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure.

About a quarter size of Sheer Fluid SPF 50 should thoroughly cover your face and neck.

Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 is optimized within an airless bottle component.  This smoothing gel formulation requires initial pumps to engage the component with the formula before effectively dispensing. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. 

About 3 pumps of Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 should thoroughly cover your face and neck.

Re-apply sunscreen every 2 hours and more frequently if you're swimming or sweating.

Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 offers 40 minutes of water-resistance and sweat-resistance.

Both sunscreens are nontinted and blend sheerly on all skin tones.

Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 is a clear gel formula and Sheer Fluid SPF 50 is formulated with an innovative pigment technology, which gives the formula a slightly off-white appearance.

Neither sunscreen leaves a white cast.

Both sunscreens are excellent for daily use, boasting light + sheer formulations rich in antioxidants.  However, if you're going to be outdoors sweating or swimming, we recommend Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 as it features up to 40 minutes of water and sweat-resistance.

Mineral or physical sunscreens, such as new Sheer Fluid SPF 50, utilize zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide, which act as physical barriers to reflect UV rays. 

Chemical sunscreens, such as Gel Sunscreen SPF 50, include effective UVA and UVB filters such as avobenzone, octisalate and octocrylene. They function by absorbing UV rays then converting them to heat to be released harmlessly by the skin.  

All ZO® sunscreens are engineered with Triple-Spectrum Protection® to protect your skin against damaging UV rays, high-energy visible blue light and infrared-A rays.

Triple-Spectrum Protection® is a unique feature of all ZO® sun protection products. All our sunscreens contain ingredients that protect your skin against damage from 3 types of rays:
1. UVA + UVA rays
2. High-Energy Visible (HEV) blue light from the sun + electronics
3. Infrared-A rays

Yes - both sunscreens offer smoothing, complexion-perfecting finishes. 
Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30 has a light tint with a matte finish.  It's excellent if you have oily or shine-prone skin, or you want to neutralize uneven skin tone such as redness.

Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 is clear (nontinted) with light hydration replenishment. It also offers 40 minutes of water and sweat resistance, so it's a great option when you're active outdoors.
