NAMING NOTE (re-read 2026-10-26): the maker's page now titles this product "Super Shield Sunscreen Lotion SPF50" (browser tab: "Super Shield Mineral Body Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50") and the words "Sheer Mineral" no longer appear on it; only the page address still ends in "sheer-mineral-sunscreen-lotion-spf-50". The retail listing still titles the ASIN "Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50", which is why title_hint above is unchanged: it must match the catalog title. The maker's page lists the same "Complete List of Ingredients" as this panel, word for word, with Zinc Oxide 20% as the only active, 80-minute water resistance, the "free of" list above, and "all of our sunscreens are formulated with non-nano mineral filters". The maker's page says "Fragrance-free" and "EWG Verified" in its benefits list.”
Allergen note: Fragrance-free per the brand's own statement. The formula does contain a named botanical blend — calendula, chamomile, watercress and meadowsweet flower extracts — which the brand positions as soothing ingredients rather than as a scent.
