An international beauty icon, Ms. Shields stays current on the latest trends in maintaining optimal skin health and understands how year-round sun exposure can slowly deplete unprotected skin of its radiance over time. "I am excited to work with the COPPERTONE brand to help raise awareness on the need for year-round sun protection and the benefits of antioxidants in promoting natural skin repair," Shields said.
COPPERTONE(R) Adds Antioxidants to Help Replenish Skin
The COPPERTONE NutraShield product line - the latest innovation from the COPPERTONE Solar Research Center - evolves the brand beyond its suncare roots to a new level of antioxidant-enhanced suncare. The power of NutraShield lies in its Dual Defense technology, combining a broad spectrum sunscreen, to protect against UVA and UVB rays, and antioxidants to replenish skin, supporting its natural repair process.
"The changing environment is altering the way people think about the sun's effects on skin. Our research indicates that consumers want not only broad spectrum sunscreens with higher sun protection factors (SPFs) to help prevent sun damage, but also formulas with antioxidants that can help promote natural skin repair," said
The COPPERTONE NutraShield line includes a SPF 70+ Faces lotion as well as SPF 70+ and SPF 30 lotions for the body. The product line is available online and at mass retailers across the country.
