Medium Tint SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen with 21% zinc oxide delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and a natural glow—wear alone or under foundation or mineral powder.
SOL Defense Medium Tint SPF 30 is a professional mineral sunscreen developed to provide broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection while actively supporting long-term skin health. Formulated with 21% non-nano zinc oxide, this dermatologist-conscious sunscreen helps defend the skin against daily ultraviolet exposure, photoaging, and environmental stress while delivering a natural medium tint that enhances the complexion without feeling heavy or greasy. Designed for licensed skincare professionals, it serves as the final protective step following professional treatments and an essential part of every daily skincare regimen.
Unlike conventional sunscreens that simply block ultraviolet radiation, SOL Defense Medium Tint combines advanced mineral sun protection with skin-repairing ingredients that help strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. Antioxidants including Ubiquinone (CoQ10) and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (a stable form of Vitamin C) help neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure and pollution while supporting collagen production and reducing the appearance of premature skin aging. This dual-action approach helps preserve healthier-looking skin while protecting against future environmental damage.
Barrier health is equally important to healthy skin function. Phospholipids and cholesterol replenish essential lipids naturally found within the stratum corneum, helping reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture. Sodium Hyaluronate delivers long-lasting hydration, while Jojoba Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil soften and condition the skin without clogging pores. Together, these ingredients leave the complexion hydrated, comfortable, and balanced throughout the day.
A defining ingredient in SOL Defense Medium Tint is Curdlan, a naturally derived prebiotic biopolymer that helps support the skin’s microbiome while reinforcing barrier integrity. A healthy microbiome contributes to improved skin resilience, comfort, and recovery from everyday environmental stress. Combined with Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, which promotes healthier-looking, smoother skin, the formula provides comprehensive daily care that extends beyond traditional sun protection.
SOL Defense Medium Tint SPF 30 is an excellent choice following many professional skincare treatments when sunscreen application is appropriate, helping protect vulnerable skin from ultraviolet exposure while maintaining hydration and skin comfort. Its breathable texture blends easily under makeup, provides a natural-looking tint, and complements professional skincare protocols without leaving a white cast or oily residue.
Daily sunscreen is one of the most effective strategies for preserving skin health and reducing the visible signs of premature aging. SOL Defense Medium Tint SPF 30 combines high-performance mineral UV protection with antioxidants, barrier-replenishing lipids, peptides, and microbiome-supporting technology to help protect, nourish, and strengthen the skin every day. The result is professional-grade sun protection that supports healthier, more resilient skin today while helping preserve its appearance for years to come.
A 21% zinc oxide concentration provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection using a mineral UV filter. Zinc oxide is well tolerated by most skin types and helps defend against photoaging while remaining gentle on sensitive skin.
The medium tint helps blend more naturally into the complexion while minimizing the white cast often associated with mineral sunscreens. It also creates a smoother, more even-looking skin tone, making it an excellent primer under makeup.
When appropriate for the procedure and stage of healing, licensed skincare professionals may recommend SOL Defense Medium Tint to help protect recovering skin from UV exposure while supporting the skin barrier with hydrating lipids and antioxidants.
In addition to mineral UV protection, the formula contains antioxidants, peptides, phospholipids, cholesterol, and microbiome-supporting ingredients that help maintain hydration, reinforce the skin barrier, and reduce visible environmental stress.
SOL Defense Medium Tint is suitable for most skin types, especially normal, dry, combination, mature, environmentally stressed, and post-procedure skin when topical sunscreen is appropriate. It is ideal for daily wear and professional skincare maintenance.

The wait was well worth waiting for on the new medium tint. The texture, color, coverage and protection makes your skin look fabulous. Applying the product with the kabuki brush makes the application smooth and flawless. Was even complimented on my skin twice in one day, with the reaction of clients, saying, it’s back, THE MEDIUM IS BACK!!!!!! Your going to love it.
Sales Admin –
We share your enthusiasm, Kristen. Although it was a long wait, this sunscreen represents the healthiest and most advanced formulation we have ever developed. It has exceeded even our expectations. What an exciting accomplishment for Skin for Life, and we look forward to getting it into everyone’s hands.

The Sol Defense medium tint is perfect protection and coverage. I use it as a foundation .It is light weight and comfortable. I also have the natural tint that allows me to blend both as my skin color changes with the season.

Thank you, Donna, for sharing your love for our Medium Tint Sunscreen. We agree, it provides the ultimate solution for smoothing the complexion while delivering reliable SPF 30 protection. The lightweight, natural tint blends beautifully into the skin too. Amazing formulas that are truly an important part of skin health.

This new formulation really exceeds my expectations. I have fair skin and even the medium ended up blending in with a real pretty tent to my face. Besides having extra skin care included in it, it’s lightweight and if you’re familiar with Elta MD 46 clea,it is very similar in consistency, clean lightweight (not at all like conventional heavy all natural SPF) and this SPF is without the harmful ingredients I was worried about (and stopped using Elta MD for that reason!) This is truly an A+ product. Even if you happen to have another line I would recommend this SPF for sure.
Sales Admin –
