Alastin SilkSHIELD All Mineral Sunscreen

The mineral sunscreen I actually want to wear every day — and the one non-negotiable in every routine I recommend.

A lightweight, transparent all-mineral broad-spectrum SPF 30 with an exclusive peptide blend that delivers anti-aging benefits beyond UV protection alone.

Why Dr. Hamilton carries this

Patients tell me they hate mineral sunscreens because they're thick, white, or chalky. SilkSHIELD is the one I converted to myself — it layers cleanly over serum, doesn't pill, and the peptide blend continues working after sun exposure. If a single product matters in an anti-aging routine, it's daily mineral SPF. Skip everything else before you skip this.

What it does

• Broad-spectrum SPF 30 mineral protection against UVA and UVB rays
• Sheer, transparent finish — works on all skin tones without a white cast
• Exclusive peptide technology delivers anti-aging benefits beyond UV protection
• Layers smoothly under makeup; safe for sensitive and post-procedure skin

Who it's for

Everyone, every day. Especially important if you're using a retinol, vitamin C, or any pigment-correcting product — those active ingredients require daily SPF to be effective.

How to use

Every morning as the final step of your routine, after moisturizer. A generous half-teaspoon for face and neck. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors.
