with 21% Zinc Oxide + Soothing Botanical Oil Complex
This blendable, lightweight, tinted mineral SPF was designed for menopausal skin that’s more prone to dryness and a weakened skin barrier. Most sunscreens sit on the surface, whereas Veil SPF 30 was formulated to hydrate as it protects. Wear it over serum, under makeup, or on its own.
During the menopause transition, estrogen decline causes the skin to become drier, more reactive, and less capable at fading dark spots and redness. Most sunscreens are formulated for younger skin, either too irritating for reactive complexions or too thin for the hydration menopausal skin needs. Veil takes a different approach, combining 100% mineral protection from 21% zinc oxide in a hydrating base of sodium hyaluronate, squalane, and botanical oils to soften and condition as it protects, and a tinted formula that evens the look of skin tone.
Zinc oxide at 21% is the only active in the formula, which makes this a 100% mineral sunscreen that reflects and scatters UVA and UVB rays for immediate, non-irritating defense. Iron oxides supply the sheer tint that blurs the look of redness and uneven tone. A hydrating complex of sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and sodium PCA draws in moisture, while the squalane and botanical oils from peach kernel, hazelnut, and rosehip soften and conditions skin that has grown drier.
Apply Veil Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Tinted Mineral Sunscreen in the morning after cleansing and applying all skincare products, as the last step in your skincare routine and before any makeup. Use a generous amount, roughly two finger-lengths, and massage evenly over face, neck, and chest 15 minutes before sun exposure. For ideal protection, use daily and re-apply at least every two hours.

Yes. Skin in the menopause transition is often drier and quicker to react, so mineral filters tend to sit more comfortably on reactive skin than chemical ones. Veil uses 21% zinc oxide as its only active for broad-spectrum SPF 30 and pairs it with humectants and botanical oils so it both protects and hydrates.
The tint is sheer and blends into a wide range of light to medium-deep skin tones. It has a blurring effect rather, which is why it reads as your own skin looking more even instead of as makeup. On the deepest skin tones, a single mineral tint can read lighter than your natural depth, so we recommend blending a small amount on your jawline first. If you wear foundation, you can layer it on top; most people find they need less of it.
No. Thanks to the iron oxides and universal tint, this product is designed to blend without the visible white cast mineral sunscreens are often known for.
Yes. SPF 30 broad-spectrum is the level dermatology organizations commonly recommend for daily wear. SPF 30 filters approximately 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 filters approximately 98%. No sunscreen blocks 100%. For the most effective use, be sure to apply generously and reapply every two hours, as well as pairing with shade and protective clothing.
The sheer tint evens the look of tone and softens the look of redness on its own, so many women find that this SPF can replace foundation, delivering protection and coverage in one step.
No. This formula isn't positioned as water-resistant. If you're swimming or sweating heavily, use a water-resistant sunscreen for that activity and choose this one for daily wear.
No daily product will reverse what's already there, but the tint evens the look of your tone immediately. Daily broad-spectrum protection is how you limit further UV exposure and prevent further hyperpigmentation.
Yes. This formula is designed for daily use on dry, sensitive-feeling skin, and a 100% mineral formula is generally the better choice for reactive skin. If you have known sensitivities to botanical oils, patch test first, since the formula contains peach kernel, hazelnut, and rosehip oils. Avoid applying to open or badly broken skin.

Winona's skincare is physician-curated and designed specifically for women in the menopause transition and beyond. Our line uses clinically-proven ingredients chosen for the visible changes that appear at this stage of life. While it was created with menopausal women in mind, the line serves as premier skincare for any woman over 30.
Winona’s skincare is an excellent complement to HRT but does not require HRT to work. Both can be used independently or in combination, as they serve different purposes. HRT addresses the root hormonal shifts, principally estrogen decline, that lead to a range of symptoms, including skin changes. While HRT can improve skin health, it is not a skin-specific treatment and cannot reverse existing changes like lost firmness, uneven tone, or dryness. Winona’s skincare is formulated specifically around these concerns to address skin barrier health, loss of hydration, accumulated sun damage, skin laxity, and collagen loss.
