MelanoShield SPF50

Dermatologist-Formulated | Non-Comedogenic | Lightweight | Reef-Safe

MelanoShield SPF 50 is a next-generation photoprotective formula designed specifically for melanin-rich and sensitive skin types. While traditional sunscreens can leave an ashy or grey cast, MelanoShield’s micronized mineral and hybrid UV filters blend seamlessly into deeper skin tones, offering invisible yet high-performance protection.

Skin of colour is uniquely prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), uneven tone, and persistent dark marks after acne or eczema. Even minimal UV exposure can worsen these conditions by stimulating melanocytes. Regular sunscreen use is, therefore, not cosmetic—it’s therapeutic.

MelanoShield SPF 50 is clinically formulated to:

• Prevent UV-induced melanocyte overstimulation
• Reduce risk of photo-aging and pigmentation relapse
• Support the skin barrier and repair oxidative stress damage

Formulation Highlights

• Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide (Micronized): Provide broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection without a white cast.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Brightens uneven tone, strengthens barrier function, and calms inflammation.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Neutralizes free radicals and improves photostability.
• Licorice Root Extract (Glabridin): Helps regulate melanin production and soothe sensitivity.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Restores hydration for a supple, non-chalky finish.

Clinical Benefits

• Shields against UVA, UVB, and blue light (HEV) exposure
• Reduces recurrence of dark spots and post-acne pigmentation
• Strengthens the skin’s lipid barrier and minimizes transepidermal water loss
• Tested on Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin types to ensure no grey cast or flashback 

Texture & Finish

An elegant, satin-matte lotion that absorbs instantly and leaves skin hydrated, protected, and radiant—never oily or dull.

Usage

Apply 2 fingers’ length of product to the face and neck each morning as the final step in your skincare routine. Reapply every 2–3 hours when exposed to sunlight or after sweating.

SPF isn’t just for “sunny days.” For people of colour, daily photoprotection is crucial to prevent pigment relapse, maintain even tone, and preserve the integrity of the skin barrier. Think of MelanoShield SPF 50 as your daily melanin-preserving shield.
