What La Shield Says
Product Description:
Your search for a sunscreen that can be applied indoors ends with La Shield IR Sunscreen Gel fortified with SPF 30 and PA ++++ . This is a lightweight next generation formulation that is specially made for people who mostly spend their time indoors. It optimally protects the skin not only from ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays but also infrared (IR) rays emitted by tv screens, computer screens, halogen lamps, etc. Thermus Thermophilus ferment in this sunscreen helps increase the moisture content in the skin and prevents degradation of collagen, and offers antioxidant protection, thereby delaying the signs of ageing. This sunscreen gel is non-comedogenic, water-resistant, non-irritant and paraben-free which is oil-free and does not leave a greasy feeling on the skin. Also, it is dermatologically tested making it suitable for all skin types.

Key Ingredients
Thermus Thermophilus ferment
Ingredients Details
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate
Common Name(s): Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate,organic uv filter,photostabilising sunscreen active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Absorbs uv radiation at specific wavelengths (uva 320โ400 nm, uvb 290โ320 nm) and dissipates photon energy as heat rather than skin-damaging photochemical reactions.
Why It's Used: Organic uv filters are chosen for their high molar extinction coefficient, specific spectral coverage, and formulation compatibility โ individual filters are combined to provide broad-spectrum coverage across uva+uvb.
How It Works: Uv photon absorption by the aromatic chromophore ฯ-system excites the molecule from sโ ground state to sโ excited state. rapid internal conversion or photoisomerisation dissipates energy as vibrational heat before it can initiate skin photodamage.
Typically Found In: Sunscreens,photoprotective products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ cosmetic active
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: Check local sunscreen regulations
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Organic uv filters require photostabilisation (by avobenzone-octocrylene pairing, or triazine stabilisers) as some absorbers degrade on uv exposure โ formulator must verify photostability of the chosen filter combination.

Octinoxate
Common Name(s): Octyl methoxycinnamate,omc,parsol mcx
CAS Number: 5466-77-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides the most widely used uvb chemical filtration with light, elegant aesthetics.
Why It's Used: The global uvb standard โ octyl methoxycinnamate's combination of potent uvb absorption, light texture, and global approval makes it the most-used chemical uvb filter worldwide.
How It Works: Trans-cinnamate chromophore absorbs uvb at ฮปmax 308nm (ฮตmax ~24,000 l/molยทcm). undergoes trans-cis photoisomerisation reducing uv protection over time โ requires photostabilisation with avobenzone or octocrylene. oil-soluble for elegant formulation.
Typically Found In: Sunscreens,foundation with spf,tinted moisturisers
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ chemical uvb filter
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: Up to 10% (eu), 7.5% (us fda)
SOURCING & ETHICS

SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu max 10%. aquatic toxicity/coral reef concerns; hawaii and some us states restrict omc. requires photostabilisation for durable spf. ewg score: 5.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Omc's trans-cis photoisomerisation (absorbing uv โ converting trans to less-absorbing cis form) was identified as the mechanism for sunscreen product spf decay after uv exposure. this photodegradation led to development of octocrylene and avobenzone photostabilisation strategies โ a pharmacokinetic discovery that fundamentally changed sunscreen formulation science.

Titanium Dioxide
Common Name(s): Ci 77891,tio2,rutile,anatase
CAS Number: 13463-67-7
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Physically reflects and scatters uvb and uva-ii radiation providing broad-spectrum physical sun protection.
Why It's Used: Most widely used mineral uv filter โ photostable, non-irritating physical sun protection compatible with all skin types including baby and sensitive skin.
How It Works: High refractive index (2.5โ2.7) and semiconductor bandgap provide physical reflection and absorption of uv radiation. primarily uvb (280โ320nm) and uva-ii (320โ340nm) protection, less effective for uva-i (340โ400nm) vs zinc oxide.
Typically Found In: Sunscreens,tinted products,foundations,baby sunscreens
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ mineral uv filter
Secondary Functions: Photostable uv filter,opacifier
Application Areas:

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ25% (spf products: eu max 25%)
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ inorganic mineral
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Produced from ilmenite or rutile mineral processing. nano tio2 (<100nm) for transparency; non-nano for opacity.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for baby and sensitive skin.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes at recommended concentrations
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. fda category i grase for sunscreen. eu max 25%. non-nano preferred for safety. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,salicylic acid,other actives
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities at standard concentrations
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Tio2 provides superior uvb protection vs zno but inferior uva-i coverage. this complementarity means tio2+zno combination sunscreens provide more complete uv spectrum coverage (uvb+uva-i+uva-ii) than either mineral filter alone.
