Ingredient lists can change. Check the packaging supplied with your order if you have a known allergy or sensitivity.
Is Epicutis Lipid Shield a mineral sunscreen?
Yes. The active sunscreen ingredient is zinc oxide at 21%, making it a mineral-based SPF 30.
Does it have a tint?
Yes. The formula may contain iron oxides that create a subtle tint and help soften the white appearance that mineral zinc sunscreens can leave.
Will it leave a white cast?
The tint is designed to reduce the visible white cast associated with zinc oxide, but finish can vary by skin tone and the amount applied.
Can I wear makeup over it?
Yes. Apply Lipid Shield as the final skincare step, allow it to settle, then apply makeup if wanted.
Can I use it with tretinoin?
Yes. Tretinoin is generally used in the evening, while Lipid Shield is a daytime sunscreen step. Follow the instructions provided with your tretinoin and use sunscreen consistently.
Can I use it after microneedling or another procedure?
Use sunscreen according to the aftercare advice for your specific procedure. Once sunscreen has been reintroduced, a mineral SPF may be an option, but freshly treated skin should follow the clinician's timing rather than a generic schedule.
How often do I need to reapply it?
Reapply at least every 2 hours during sun exposure, after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, and immediately after towel drying.
How long will a 50ml bottle last?
That depends on how generously you apply it and how often you reapply. Sunscreen should be applied liberally, so daily use and regular reapplication will use the bottle faster than a moisturiser or serum.
What if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
The sunscreen active is zinc oxide. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and have questions about a particular sunscreen or skincare ingredient, check with your healthcare professional.
Is Lipid Shield EWG Verified, vegan and cruelty-free?
Epicutis states that its professional skincare line is EWG Verified®, vegan and cruelty-free, and that its products are not tested on animals.
Can I buy Epicutis Lipid Shield SPF 30 in the UK?
Yes. Face for Soul stocks the 50ml Lipid Shield SPF 30 for UK customers, with delivery information available on the UK delivery page.
