Frequently Asked Questions
How is Alastin Silk Shield different from Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral
Sunscreen?
Alastin Silk Shield is a lightweight, transparent, and silky sunscreen with no tint, designed for those who want a non-streaking, sheer
finish. It uses zinc oxide as the sunblocking agent. HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen, on the other hand, is more hydrating
with a buttery texture and provides a tinted, soft-glow finish. It has both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. HydraTint is
heavier and more moisturizing than Silk Shield. Both sunscreens are
non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and water-resistant for up to 40 minutes. If
you prefer a lightweight, untinted option, go with Silk Shield. If you're looking
for a tinted, moisturizing option, HydraTint is the better choice.
