If you are a beauty lover then you have probably heard of Glossier. Based in New York, Glossier is a company that specializes in making your skin look beautiful not by covering up, but by enhancing what you already have. More importantly, they are the experts in making your skin look dewy, glowy, and just kinda perfect, tbh.
Now, after successfully diving into the world of lipsticks, highlighters, and even face masks, Glossier is going one step further by creating an everyday sunscreen that is unlike anything else out there. According to their press release, Glossier’s new Invisible Shield is an every day “sunscreen for people who hate wearing sunscreen.” What makes this product different from other sun products on the market is that it is a clear water gel formula filled with active microcapsules that “instantly absorbs into skin with no greasy residue and zero white cast.” Sounds almost too good to be true, right? Wrong.
After getting to use the product for myself, I can safely say that it truly is invisible once applied, hence the name Invisible Shield. In fact, when applying it, it goes onto the skin more like a serum than a sunscreen. This is possible because it is made with “active microcapsules, which are tiny spheres packed with UVA and UVB filters; water — there’s no alcohol or greasy ingredients in this formula; an antioxidant complex made with a mix of Vitamin E, Vitamin P, Broccoli, and Aloe Leaf extracts that helps neutralize free radicals inside skin.”
Glossier also notes that the sunscreen “not only protects against sun exposure, but also helps neutralize harmful free radicals inside your skin, and keeps pollutant junk from getting in in the first place.” So basically, it’s gonna revolutionize your summer morning routine and the packaging is cute AF. Win, win, right?
If you want to try it for yourselves, you can find it on Glossier’s site for $34 and at their showroom in New York City.
