High-Performance Daily Protection
A hydrating, antioxidant-rich mineral sunscreen for normal to dry skin. Our broad-spectrum SPF 40 delivers a virtually invisible finish designed to blend seamlessly across all skin tones, with triple-defence protection against UV, pollution, and blue light.
High-Performance Daily Protection targeting Oxidative Ageing™
Sheer Hydration Broad Spectrum SPF 40 (Untinted) is a 100% mineral sunscreen formulated for skin that needs protection and hydration in equal measure. The advanced mineral formula delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with a virtually invisible, sheer finish designed to blend seamlessly across skin tones whether worn alone or under makeup with no white cast. The antioxidant network goes beyond UV defence to target Oxidative Aging™, defending against pollution, HEV blue light, and infrared radiation, which contribute to visible premature aging regardless of sun exposure.
A hydrating base helps maintain skin comfort throughout the day, making this a suitable daily step for normal to dry and sensitive skin types. Fragrance-free without clogging pores and part of AlumierMD's Core 4 Essentials routine.

Apply generously and evenly to face, neck, and chest 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply as needed or after swimming, washing, towel drying or heavy perspiring.
Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children. Prior to use on children under 6 months of age, consult a physician.
Micronized Zinc Oxide: A safe, micro-fine mineral that offers broad-spectrum protection from both UVA (aging) and UVB (sunburn-causing) rays without leaving residual chalkiness on skin. Zinc oxide is known as a physical sunscreen agent, largely reflecting and scattering UV rays.
Titanium Dioxide: A safe naturally occurring mineral coated for sun stability, titanium dioxide offers broad-spectrum protection from both UVA (aging) and UVB (sunburn-causing) rays. Like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide is known as a physical sunscreen agent, largely reflecting and scattering UV rays.
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate: A stable form of the powerful antioxidant vitamin C, which protects the skin against UV-induced free radical damage. It also brightens the skin and evens out skin tone.
Tocopherol Acetate: An effective form of vitamin E for the skin, this highly moisturizing and fat-soluble vitamin acts as an antioxidant, which strengthens the effect of vitamin C.
Resveratrol: Derived either from grape seeds or the Japanese knotweed plant, this antioxidant neutralizes free radical damage.
Glutathione: An antioxidant peptide produced naturally in our bodies, glutathione helps recycle other antioxidants. Glutathione levels decrease with age.
ELIX-IR™: Knotgrass extract which is rich in flavonoids, and protects the skin against the damaging effects of infrared (IR).
Physavie®: A plant extract that shields against the effects of IR and visible light (HEV).
Exo-P™: An exopolysaccharide that acts as a biomimetic shield against particulate matter from pollution.

Sheer Hydration Untinted is built on the principle that effective mineral sun protection and skin hydration are not a compromise. Micronized mineral filters provide broad-spectrum UV protection in a formula optimized for an invisible, comfortable finish, addressing the most common barrier to daily mineral SPF use.
What distinguishes this formula clinically is the depth of its environmental defence beyond UV. The antioxidant complex includes ingredients specifically selected to address HEV visible light and infrared radiation, the environmental stressors that conventional UV filters alone do not cover, and together they target Oxidative Aging™: the cumulative free-radical damage that drives the majority of visible premature skin aging. A physical Exo-P™ pollution shield adds a further layer of defence against particulate pollutants.
Sheer Hydration Broad Spectrum SPF 40 (Untinted) is part of AlumierMD's Core 4 Essentials, designed to target the visible signs of aging driven by Oxidative Aging™. Its comprehensive antioxidant complex including ELIX-IR™, Physavie®, Resveratrol, and Glutathione, defends against HEV blue light, infrared radiation, and pollution alongside broad-spectrum UV protection, supporting long-term skin health with every application.
Untinted sunscreen is completely clear, ideal if you prefer no coverage, already use a tinted product, or have very fair or deep skin.
Versatile Tint sunscreen delivers a sheer finish that helps unify skin tone with a natural luminous effect. Both are suited to normal to dry skin.
For oily or blemish-prone skin, see Clear Shield.
Absolutely. This lightweight sunscreen formula is designed for daily use and can be incorporated into your morning skincare routine.
Yes, Sheer Hydration is packed with moisturizing ingredients (like Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid), making it perfect for normal-to-dry skin types that find other mineral sunscreens too chalky or drying.
The "Sheer" technology ensures that the Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide blend seamlessly. On very dark skin tones, the Tinted version may be preferred for a completely invisible finish, but the Untinted version blends significantly better than traditional mineral sunscreens.
For many people with normal skin, this sunscreen provides enough hydration to double as a morning moisturizer and sunscreen in one step. If you are very dry, layer it over HydraDew or HydraRich.

"Very effective sunscreen that goes on smoothly, evenly and feels very moisturizing. I wear it every day as my moisturizer 365 days a year. When I wear makeup, I use a CC cream also with mineral SPF. I have very fair skin and 'm outdoors a lot with running, gardening and swimming."

"This sunscreen is my ultimate and an essential in my everyday routine. Doubles as a moisturizer! Zero sticky white cast / I have an amazing natural glow upon application. My skin is fair and extremely sensitive, and so sunscreen is a must for me, always. So happy to have discovered this product years ago, it's such a relief to have skin protection that's low maintenance and well-made."
