What is Purescreen® Technology?

Physical sunscreens reflect and absorb the sun's rays, while chemical sunscreens absorb them at the skin's surface. Whichever type you choose, make sure it's Broad Spectrum, minimum 30 SPF. PURESCREEN^® is a physical sunscreen technology made from naturally sourced sunscreen ingredients known to be gentle on sensitive skin. Using blends of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, PURESCREEN^® technology helps form a screen between the skin and the sun to provide photostable broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

PURESCREEN^® technology absorbs, reflects, and scatters the dangerous UVA/UVB rays of the sun before they have a chance to touch your skin. Even better, the photo-protection that PURESCREEN^® forms on your skin is photostable, meaning it remains effective during sun exposure.

PURESCREEN^® technology is clinically proven to be as gentle as water on the skin’s surface making it ideal for use on babies and sensitive skin. Neutrogena^® Pure & Free^® Baby Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 60+ with PURESCREEN^® and Neutrogena^® Sensitive Skin Sunscreen SPF 60+ with PURESCREEN^® technology offer superior broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection in a physical sunscreen. Neutrogena^® Healthy Defense^® Daily Moisturizer SPF 50 with PURESCREEN^® technology is the first daily moisturizer from Neutrogena^® with a physical sunscreen technology.

Other physical sunscreens can be greasy, tough to rub in, and can leave a white residue on the skin. But with the innovations of PURESCREEN^® technology, our experts have created a non-whitening, non-greasy formulation that is easy to spread on the skin..
