UV rays reach our skin regardless of the season or weather conditions; in both sun and rain, they find a way to shine on us — which is why daily use of sunscreen is extremely important. Unfortunately, UV rays don’t always have a beneficial effect on the skin.
Despite the fact that we all love the sun, it also brings long-term damage to the skin and consequences that can leave a lasting mark. UV rays can cause structural changes at the cellular level, accelerate the breakdown of collagen fibres, and disrupt the skin’s barrier function. While much of this damage happens beneath the surface, the effects accumulate over time and eventually become visible on the skin.
Exposure to UV rays is the primary cause of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, skin dehydration — and, in some cases, even skin cancer or melanoma. For all these reasons, consistent daily protection is essential for maintaining healthy, even-toned, and youthful skin.
The ideal SPF cream?
Finding the right sunscreen can feel like a real challenge — especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. Sunscreens often contain a variety of protective filters, and not all of them sit well on different skin types.
SPF formulations are complex and tricky — many include ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin or clog pores. However, the new generation of mineral filters has made a huge leap forward, offering more skin-friendly and effective formulations that deliver a game-changing experience.
At Hemptouch, the goal of creating the perfect SPF cream — one that feels good to use and offers safe, long-lasting protection — has been a long and dedicated journey. We knew we were setting the bar high, balancing our brand values with the needs of our customers, who often face challenges with sensitive, reactive, and acne-prone skin. Finding a formula that meets all these criteria wasn’t easy — but that’s why it feels even more rewarding today. Our determination and perfectionism have paid off — and we’re thrilled to introduce Mineral Shield Face Sunscreen SPF 30!
Why Mineral Shield Face Sunscreen SPF 30 is a game-changer for your skin
Forget everything you think you know about mineral sunscreens — Mineral Shield Face Sunscreen SPF 30 is about to change the game.

More than just protection — It’s skincare too
A good sunscreen shouldn’t just protect — it should care for your skin, too. Hemptouch’s Mineral Shield Face Sunscreen SPF 30 doesn’t stop at shielding your skin from UV rays; it also deeply hydrates, soothes, and supports skin repair. Its blend of Mediterranean plant extracts and oils creates a beautifully smooth texture that glides on effortlessly, giving you a luxurious user experience every time.
What’s Inside:
Zinc oxide – This natural mineral filter acts as a physical shield against UVA and UVB rays. Hemptouch uses a non-nano form, meaning the particles are too large to be absorbed into the skin or harm marine life — making it a safe choice for both your skin and the environment.
Aloe vera – Known for centuries as a healing plant, aloe vera calms irritated and inflamed skin while delivering a surge of hydration. Packed with antioxidants, enzymes, and vitamins, it forms a cooling protective layer on the skin, helping to lock in moisture.
Olive oil – A true Mediterranean treasure, rich in essential fatty acids that nourish and soften the skin. Its antioxidant properties protect against environmental damage while reinforcing the skin's natural barrier.
Lavender essential oil – One of the most loved and widely used essential oils for skincare. Lavender promotes cell renewal, soothes redness, and helps calm breakouts with its antibacterial and antiviral properties.
When should you apply sunscreen in your routine?
Your sunscreen should always be the final step in your morning skincare routine — applied just before makeup. To ensure full protection, it’s important to apply enough product. A good rule of thumb? Follow the two-finger rule — apply a strip of sunscreen along the length of two fingers for the face and neck.
Apply a generous layer of sunscreen to clean, well-moisturised skin, and allow it to settle before applying makeup. Hemptouch’s Mineral Shield Face Sunscreen SPF 30 works beautifully as a makeup base — its next-generation mineral filters create a light, non-greasy finish that sits comfortably under foundation.
Reapply regularly — especially if you’re sweating, swimming, or spending prolonged periods in direct sunlight. A quick top-up every two to three hours will keep your skin protected all day long.
Evening skincare: what you need to know if you're using SPF
While you don’t need SPF protection in your evening routine, it’s essential to remove sunscreen thoroughly at the end of the day. Failing to do so can lead to clogged pores, breakouts, and a compromised skin barrier.
This is where double cleansing comes in — a non-negotiable step for maintaining healthy, balanced skin. As the name suggests, it’s a two-step process that ensures every trace of SPF, makeup, and daily grime is removed.
Start with Hemp Blessed Cleansing Oil – This oil-based cleanser melts away sunscreen, makeup, excess oil, and impurities. It works by dissolving the oil-based components of SPF and makeup, making it easy to rinse away without stripping the skin.
Follow with the Purifying Face Cleanser – This gentle gel cleanser gives your skin a deep clean, removing any remaining residue. It leaves your skin refreshed, balanced, and ready to absorb your evening skincare products.
Double cleansing isn’t just a trend — it’s the key to keeping your skin clear, calm, and perfectly prepped for your nighttime routine.
