Step 2: Reapply at least every 2 hours.

Zinc Oxide + Ceramides + Squalane

Key Ingredients

Mineral UVA/UVB Protection
Zinc Oxide 9.4%

Mineral UVA/UVB Protection

Zinc oxide is the sole active ingredient. This mineral filter sits on top of the skin and provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, which is why mineral sunscreens are a common choice for sensitive and post-procedure skin.

Ceramides & Cholesterol
Barrier Support

Ceramides & Cholesterol

Ceramides NP, AP and EOP, with phytosphingosine and cholesterol, mirror lipids found naturally in the skin barrier; Obagi calls them bio-identical ceramides. They help maintain moisture balance and support a sensitive or recovering barrier.

Squalane & Antioxidants
Comfort & Defense

Squalane & Antioxidants

Squalane is a lightweight emollient that helps soothe and soften skin. Ethyl ferulate, an ester of ferulic acid, and vitamin E (tocopherol) add antioxidant support to help shield skin from oxidative stress.

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before choosing, using, and caring for your skin with Purity products.

Explore Help Center
Can I use it after a facial, peel or laser treatment?

Obagi formulated it for use after non-ablative cosmetic procedures, and it's the sunscreen we often recommend once you're cleared to wear SPF. The Drug Facts label says not to use it on damaged or broken skin, so wait until any open, raw or crusted areas have closed, and always follow your provider's post-treatment instructions.

Is it tinted, and will it leave a white cast?

It's untinted. Like most zinc oxide sunscreens, it can look slightly white on application before it blends in, which is more noticeable on deeper skin tones. If you'd rather have a tint, the Sun Shield Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 comes in Warm and Cool.

Is it water resistant?

No. Reapply at least every 2 hours, and use a water-resistant sunscreen if you'll be swimming or sweating, as the Drug Facts label directs.

Is it OK for acne-prone or sensitive skin?

Yes. Obagi describes it as non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, non-irritating and dermatologist tested, with no fragrance, dyes or parabens, and zinc oxide is the only active. Stop use and ask a doctor if a rash occurs.

Where does it go in my routine?

It's the last skincare step every morning, after serum and moisturizer and before makeup. Apply it liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure, then reapply at least every 2 hours while you're outdoors.

How long does a tube last?

Applied liberally to the face once a day, a 1.7 fl oz (50 mL) tube lasts roughly six weeks; reapplying through the day uses it faster. If a tube lasts much longer than that, you're probably not using enough to get the labeled SPF.
