Epicutis® Lipid Shield is a daily-use, tinted, mineral-based sunscreen formulated with non-nano zinc oxide to provide SPF 30 protection while actively supporting skin health. TSC, the brand's patented molecule developed at Princeton University, works to reduce redness and inflammation caused by UV exposure, soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and help protect against collagen breakdown.

To further strengthen the skin under sun exposure, the formula combines soothing, antioxidant-rich botanicals. Bisabolol, a natural compound from chamomile, calms and relieves irritated skin, while Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate, derived from licorice root, helps reduce redness and even skin tone. Aloe Vera Extract provides hydration and antioxidant defense, supporting the barrier and recovery after sun exposure.

Free from chemical UV filters, Lipid Shield is EWG Verified®.
