It’s no secret that I’m a sunscreen fanatic. I LOVE sunny days and I’m all about the perfect 70-degree weather, but the power of the sun frightens me. And if you have sensitive skin like me, you probably already know that unprotected sun exposure can wreck havoc on your complexion, which is why I’m the proud owner of a sunscreen collection. My latest sunscreen entry is Epionce Ultra Shield Lotion SPF 50 – a high protection broad-spectrum sunscreen for sensitive skin.
Product Description
Epionce Ultra Shield Lotion SPF 50 is a light, quick absorbing sheer sunscreen that effectively protects the skin from damaging UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) radiation. This potent sunscreen prevents inflammation, reduces signs of aging, and minimizes the risk of skin cancer. Formulated for sensitive skin, use it every day as your final phase in maintaining skin health.
Ingredients :
Active: Zinc Oxide 10.1%, Homosalate 10.0%, Octisalate 5.0%
Inactive: Water, Alkyl (C12-15) Benzoate, Caprylyl Trisiloxane, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Hydrogenated Polybutene (1300 MW), Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Steareth-21, Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate (M/Q 0.66), Ammonium Acryloyldimethyl- taurate/VP Copolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Safflower Oil, Cetostearyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer (45000 MPA.S AT 1%), Linseed Oil, Malic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Date, Polyhydroxystearic Acid (2300 MW), Polysorbate 80, Steareth-2, Triethoxycaprylylsilane.
What I like :
– Provides full spectrum UVA-UVB protection with a combination of physical (micronized zinc oxide) and chemical sunscreens.
– Light, quick-absorbing and antioxidant fortified sheer lotion formula
– Cosmetically elegant; leaves no white residue commonly seen with zinc oxide products
– Keeps my dry skin nicely moisturized all day (not sticky or greasy)
– Suitable for use around the sensitive eye area (doesn’t sting or irritate)
– Doesn’t make me break out
– Very water-resistant (great for strenuous outdoor activities)
– Active botanical ingredients provide anti-inflammatory properties
– Fragrance Free / Paraben Free / Benzophenone-Free / Non Comedogenic
– Convenient packaging in an opaque tube (which prevents the active ingredients from deteriorating)
– Reasonably priced – $25 for 2.5fl oz
My only criticism: The formula has a slightly shiny finish. It doesn’t make me look like an oil slick but the shine factor is a little more than I’d like. (It’s just perfect as a body sunscreen though!)

This post is perfect for me! I have very sensitive skin and I have been looking for a good sunscreen that will not burn my face off. Thanks (:
Sounds great and definitely something I would love to try next summer (the summer here in Estonia is almost over 🙁 )
I have never heard of this brand before. However, I am now intrigued.
I’m going to buy that sunscreen and see for myself. I got sensitive skin too.
