Complexion concerns? Time to neutralize that firey red skin with Urban Shield. Our fast-absorbing zinc oxide is a lightweight blendable cream-gel that helps to freshen, correct, and neutralize your skin with a natural, hydrated, no-make-up day look.
Neutralizing Redness: Green concealer is opposite red on the color wheel, so it's used to counteract and neutralize red tones in the skin. This makes it particularly effective for covering up redness caused by acne, rosacea, or other skin irritations.
Why We Love it! By applying a touch of green concealer to these areas before applying foundation or other makeup, you can create a more even-toned and balanced complexion.
Antioxidant Defense: Exposure to environmental pollutants and UV radiation can generate free radicals in the skin, leading to oxidative stress and premature aging. Outdoor creams may contain antioxidants such as vitamin B, vitamin E, and green tea extract to help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from damage.
Conditions/Recommendations:
- Sun Barrier Protectant
- Neutralizes Redness
- Color Correcting
- Dewy Coverage

Antioxidants play a crucial role in skincare by helping to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors. Here's an overview of their role:
Neutralizing Free Radicals: Free radicals are unstable molecules generated by environmental factors such as UV radiation, pollution, and cigarette smoke, as well as internal processes like metabolism. These molecules can damage skin cells, leading to premature aging, inflammation, and even skin cancer. Antioxidants work by donating electrons to neutralize free radicals, thereby preventing them from causing oxidative stress and damage to the skin.
Protecting Against UV Damage: Antioxidants can help protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation, including sunburn, photoaging, and DNA damage. They act as a defense mechanism against UV-induced free radicals, reducing the risk of sunburn and mitigating the inflammatory response in the skin.
Promoting Skin Repair and Regeneration: Antioxidants have been shown to support the skin's natural repair processes and enhance collagen production. By scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress, antioxidants help to maintain skin health and promote the regeneration of healthy skin cells.
Brightening and Even Skin Tone: Some antioxidants, such as vitamin C, have skin-brightening properties and can help to fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. By inhibiting melanin production and promoting collagen synthesis, antioxidants contribute to a more radiant and even complexion.
Boosting the Efficacy of Physical Sunscreen Ingredients: When used with sunscreen, antioxidants can enhance the effectiveness of sun protection. Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure, providing an additional layer of defense against sun damage and reinforcing the skin's natural defenses.
Soothing and Calming Irritated Skin: Certain antioxidants, such as green tea extract and chamomile, have anti-inflammatory properties that can help to soothe and calm irritated or sensitive skin. They reduce redness, inflammation, and discomfort, making them beneficial for individuals with conditions like rosacea or eczema.
Preventing Premature Aging: By combating oxidative stress and protecting against environmental aggressors, antioxidants help to prevent premature aging of the skin. They maintain the skin's elasticity, firmness, and youthful appearance, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.

ClearChoice Urban Shield
This product is in an Airless Pump......
Many ClearChoice products come in AIRLESS PUMPS, so you may need to pump several times to release any excess air or air bubbles that may have occurred during the filling process by the manufacturer. The product is then sucked up into the pump and dispensed. As you use the product you will see how the inside tube of the bottle moves up within the outer sleeve of the bottle.
When new, if you pump your bottle several times and it still doesn’t come out, please use a straightened paper clip and insert it in the small hole at the bottom of the bottle to push up the inner tube to release any excess air. Alternately you can pop off the white base of the bottom of the bottle and gently push up the inner tube slightly with your finger and replace the white base to the bottom of the bottle.
PLEASE NOTE: Airless bottles are NOT meant to be opened, they are not meant to have air in the bottle, (this also protects the product from contamination).
Airless bottles that have been opened from the top or tampered with (other than our instructions above) will NOT be replaced.
Apply to clean skin in the morning. Gently press and blend into skin. Can be used alone as a color corrector for a natural makeup look. Great to use as a primer.
