The viral Shiseido Sunscreen is infused with WetForce x HeatForce technology

Claimed to be the #1 Sunscreen stick in the US by Shiseido, the Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ is infused with SynchroShield technology as well as the brand’s innovative WetForce x HeatForce technology. This feature creates lightweight and invisible protection on the skin that becomes effective in water and heat.

SynchroShield technology strengthens the sunscreen’s protective layer on exposure to heat from the sun, sweat, and water. The WetForce technology entails combining positive and negative ions in water and perspiration which creates an additional layer of sun protection. As one continues to sweat and get wet, the product’s efficacy is enhanced without any white cast.

HeatForce technology on the other hand offers heat-sensing essence in the sunscreen which gets activated by external heat, forming a strong barrier against harmful UV rays.

The viral Shiseido sunscreen offers superior sun protection as it looks clear on the skin and gets absorbed quickly without discomfort and residue.

Some of the key benefits of the Shiseido sunscreen in stick form include:

• A formulation free of octinoxate and oxybenzone
• Ophthalmologist-tested, Dermatologist-tested, and Non-comedogenic, hence it won’t clog pores
• Ideal for all skin types
• Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes

One can easily glide the clear sunscreen before makeup application and reapply the same over makeup. In a study carried out by the brand, 93% of women stated that their skin stayed moisturized after 4 hours of applying the Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+.

While 90% of women stated that the viral Shiseido sunscreen was more sweat and water-resistant as compared to other sunscreens they used before.
