Tower 28's SOS FaceGuard SPF 30 is Non-Irritating & Acne-Friendly

— May 13, 2025 — Fashion
People with sensitive skin often experience irritation, redness, or stinging when using certain sun protection products, especially those containing chemical UV filters or added fragrances, and Tower 28's SOS FaceGuard SPF 30 was made with them in mind. This mineral SPF product "made for the sensitive, acne-prone, and straight up SPF-scared" goes on comfortably and does away with the unpleasant parts of sunscreen application, like the greasy feel, burning eyes, breakouts or a residual white cast.

This clinically tested, vegan and cruelty-free mineral SPF 30 pairs non-nano zinc oxide with a blend of ceramides to support the skin barrier, plus calming, soothing allantoin and alpha bisabolol.

Tower 28's SOS FaceGuard SPF 30 has been awarded the seal of acceptance from the National Eczema Association, National Rosacea Society, and National Psoriasis Foundation.
