Herbalife SKIN® Protective Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen, The Ultimate Shield for Your Skin

Protecting your skin from the sun's harsh rays is a vital step in any skincare routine. Extended time in the sun not only increases your risk of skin cancer but also leads to premature skin aging. The good news is that you can shield your skin while also keeping it nourished and smooth. Introducing the Herbalife SKIN® Protective Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen, a lightweight daily facial moisturizer that doubles as your essential sun protection.

This unique formula is free of added parabens and is packed with beneficial ingredients. It features Zinc Oxide as the active ingredient, a mineral sunscreen that provides powerful broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays the two types of ultraviolet light that damage your skin. By creating a physical barrier on the skin's surface, Zinc Oxide defends against sunburn and helps decrease the risk of skin cancer and early aging when used correctly with other sun safety steps.

Beyond sun defense, this product is designed for long-lasting skin health. It is shown to moisturize your skin for an impressive eight hours, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. Infused with Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, it helps to soothe and hydrate the skin. This product is dermatologist tested for safety and is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, giving you confidence in its protective abilities. It is also a key part of the Herbalife SKIN® Ultimate Program, making it a powerful addition to your daily regimen.

The powerful benefits of this daily moisturizer and sunscreen come directly from its thoughtfully selected blend of ingredients:

• Broad-Spectrum Sun Protection Against UVA and UVB Rays (Zinc Oxide): The active ingredient, Zinc Oxide (at 17.5%), is a mineral filter that provides a physical barrier on the skin's surface. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV light, Zinc Oxide reflects and scatters the sun's rays, effectively blocking both damaging UVA (responsible for aging) and UVB (responsible for burning) radiation. This broad-spectrum defense is the most crucial health benefit, as it is the primary method to decrease the risk of skin cancer and prevent premature aging caused by sun exposure. The high percentage of this ingredient ensures a strong, reliable shield for your skin throughout the day.
• Protection Against Skin Irritation and Rash (Zinc Oxide): Zinc Oxide is widely known for its ability to treat and prevent minor skin irritations, cuts, burns, and rashes by forming a protective layer over the affected area. This function allows the skin underneath to heal and recover without being further aggravated by external factors. When used in this daily moisturizer, the Zinc Oxide provides a constant, gentle barrier that soothes the skin and protects it from potential daily irritants, making it an excellent choice for maintaining overall skin comfort and health, even for those with sensitive skin types.
• Intense and Long-Lasting Skin Hydration (Glycerin): Glycerin is a powerful humectant, which means it works by attracting and drawing water from the deeper layers of the skin and the air into the skin's outer surface. Once the water is drawn in, glycerin locks it in place, significantly boosting and maintaining moisture levels. This process helps to keep your skin well-hydrated for a long time, leading to a softer, smoother, and healthier-looking complexion. This is a key reason why the product is proven to moisturize for eight hours, ensuring your skin remains supple throughout your day.
• Repair and Strengthening of the Skin's Natural Barrier (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride): Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is an emollient that comes from coconut oil and glycerin. It works by filling in the tiny gaps in the outer layer of the skin, forming a protective, non-greasy film. This action helps to strengthen the skin's natural barrier function, preventing water loss (transepidermal water loss) and protecting against environmental damage. A strong barrier is essential for healthy skin, leading to less dryness, less irritation, and overall improved resilience.
• Soothing and Calming of Redness and Inflammation (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice): The inclusion of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera) provides immediate soothing relief to the skin. Aloe contains compounds that have natural anti-inflammatory properties, which can significantly reduce skin swelling, redness, and itching. This makes the moisturizer especially beneficial for calming skin that has been exposed to environmental stressors or that is naturally prone to irritation, promoting a more comfortable and visually calmer complexion.
• Promotion of Faster Skin Healing and Repair (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice): Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that are vital for cell growth and repair. These nutrients accelerate the natural wound-healing process, helping the skin to recover more quickly from minor cuts, scrapes, or damage, including sunburn. Its ability to stimulate new skin cell growth contributes to maintaining a healthy, intact skin surface and overall skin renewal.
• Reduction of Redness and Blemishes (Niacinamide): Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is a versatile ingredient known for its strong anti-inflammatory effects on the skin. This property makes it very effective at combating inflammatory skin conditions like acne and rosacea, visibly reducing the associated redness, blotchiness, and swelling. By calming the skin, it helps to lessen the severity and visibility of existing blemishes, leading to a more even and balanced skin tone over time.
• Minimizing the Appearance of Enlarged Pores (Niacinamide): Regular use of Niacinamide is known to help improve the function of the skin's barrier and regulate oil production. By doing so, it can help prevent pores from becoming clogged and stretched, which makes them look smaller and less noticeable. This leads to a smoother skin texture and a more refined, polished look, making this moisturizer a smart choice for people concerned with pore visibility.
• Potent Antioxidant Protection Against Free Radical Damage (Tocopheryl Acetate): Tocopheryl Acetate, a stable form of Vitamin E, acts as a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant. It works by neutralizing unstable molecules called free radicals that are created by sun exposure, pollution, and stress, which are major causes of premature skin aging. By scavenging these harmful radicals, Vitamin E helps to protect the skin's cells from oxidative damage, contributing to a more youthful and protected skin appearance.

• Enhanced Anti-Aging Benefits to Reduce Fine Lines (Tocopheryl Acetate): Due to its strong antioxidant protection, Tocopheryl Acetate helps to protect the skin from the environmental stressors that accelerate the signs of aging. By fending off this oxidative stress, it helps the skin maintain its youthful structure and appearance. This protective effect, combined with its skin-conditioning properties, helps to smooth the skin's surface and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Brightening and Evening of Skin Tone (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate): Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD Ascorbate) is a highly stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C. It is a powerful ingredient that helps to lighten and brighten the skin by inhibiting the enzyme (tyrosinase) responsible for melanin (pigment) production. This action helps to fade dark spots, sun spots, and post-acne marks, resulting in a significantly more even, radiant, and luminous complexion over time.
• Support for Collagen Production and Skin Firmness (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate): As a form of Vitamin C, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate plays a critical role in encouraging the skin's natural production of collagen. Collagen is the protein that provides skin with its structure, firmness, and elasticity. By boosting this production in the deeper layers of the skin, this ingredient helps to visibly firm the complexion and improve skin's "bounce," reducing the look of sagging and wrinkles for a more youthful contour.
• Anti-Microbial Action for Clearer Skin (Physalis Angulata Extract): The natural properties of Physalis Angulata Extract include anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory benefits. This extract actively helps to manage the presence of harmful surface bacteria, which is particularly useful for skin prone to acne and breakouts. By keeping the skin cleaner, it reduces the chance of infection and irritation that can lead to pimples, supporting a clearer and healthier-looking skin surface.
• Stimulation of Natural Collagen for Replenishment (Physalis Angulata Extract): In addition to its calming and cleansing properties, Physalis Angulata Extract has been shown to encourage the skin's natural collagen production. Collagen is essential for maintaining the skin's elasticity and youthful look. By helping to boost this process, the extract contributes to skin that feels more replenished, resilient, and rejuvenated, working alongside other ingredients to fight the visible signs of aging.
• Texture Improvement and Softening of the Skin (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride): Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is an excellent skin conditioner or 'softener.' Its unique structure helps to make the skin's surface smoother and silkier to the touch. It improves the overall texture by providing deep, yet lightweight, moisture, resulting in skin that feels supple and refined, without any heavy or greasy residue, which is a key component of the product leaving skin “soft and smooth.”
• Enhancement of Active Ingredient Absorption (Lecithin): Lecithin acts as a penetration enhancer in skincare formulas. Its phospholipid structure is very similar to the skin's own natural structure, allowing it to easily blend with the skin's lipids. This helps to carry other active, beneficial ingredients, such as vitamins and extracts, deeper into the skin where they can be most effective. This ensures that the Niacinamide, Vitamin C, and other ingredients can deliver their full benefits to the skin.
• Maintenance of Skin's Moisture and Elasticity (Silica): Silica is a trace mineral that is essential for connective tissue health. In skincare, it is linked to the skin's ability to retain water. It plays a role in creating bonds between protein molecules (like collagen), which is crucial for helping the skin remain flexible and elastic. By supporting this internal framework, Silica contributes to the feeling of hydrated, firmer skin and helps to maintain the skin's youthful “bounce.”
• Support for Damaged and Dry Skin Healing (Glycerin): The intense moisturizing properties of Glycerin are incredibly beneficial for skin that is dry, damaged, or cracked. By drawing and holding moisture in the skin, it helps to improve the skin's function and accelerate the healing process for minor cracks or environmental damage. It can provide relief and promote recovery for very dry patches, making the skin more resilient against cold or dry weather conditions.
• Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Benefits for Sensitive Skin (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride): In addition to its moisturizing and barrier-protecting roles, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride also offers mild antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities. This gentle, non-irritating nature makes it an ideal ingredient for sensitive or easily irritated skin types. It helps to soothe the skin while providing light protection against environmental stress, ensuring the formula is safe and comfortable for daily use.
• Preservation of Skin Health and Protection from Infections (Lecithin): Lecithin, which is similar to the fats found in our skin, helps to create a protective, waxy layer on the skin's surface. This barrier not only locks in moisture but also acts as a shield against various external factors and potential infections. Its skin-conditioning and mild antioxidant benefits contribute to a calm, moisturized, and overall healthy skin surface, reinforcing the skin's natural defense mechanisms.

To ensure maximum skin protection, apply the Herbalife SKIN® Protective Moisturizer liberally to your face and neck 15 minutes before you go outside into the sun. If you plan on swimming or sweating heavily, you should use a water-resistant sunscreen to maintain protection. For ongoing defense, be sure to reapply the moisturizer at least every two hours. Using this product as directed, along with other sun protection measures like wearing protective clothing, is crucial for decreasing the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.

The ingredients in this product are chosen for their gentleness and safety; however, as with any skincare product, some people might experience mild skin reactions. The active ingredient, Zinc Oxide, is generally well-tolerated, especially on sensitive skin, as it is a physical blocker. Other ingredients, such as Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, are known to be soothing and non-irritating, and even help reduce irritation. The formula is non-comedogenic, meaning it is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts. If you have very sensitive skin, you should always test a small amount of the product on a hidden patch of skin before using it on your face. If you experience any persistent irritation, redness, or discomfort, stop using the product and talk to a healthcare professional.
