Epicutis, a science-driven skin care brand by biotech company Signum Biosciences, has announced that its Lipid Shield SPF 30 earned the EWG verified mark, the Environmental Working Group's highest standard for ingredient safety and transparency.
Lipid Shield's formula pairs EWG-validated non-nano zinc oxide with TSC (disodium tetramethylhexadecenyl succinoyl cysteine).
Zinc Oxide SPF with TSC: Protection + Repair
Lipid Shield is powered by TSC, a biotech-developed active that claims to calm visible redness, protect collagen integrity and support skin's repair mechanisms under UV stress—even if reapplication is delayed.
With 21 percent non-nano zinc oxide, Lipid Shield claims to deliver clean, physical broad-spectrum protection against UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays, without systemic absorption or irritation. Its sweat-stable, water-resistant texture stays put, with forty minutes of water-resistant certification.
Skin-Loving Botanical Complex
In addition to TSC, Lipid Shield soothes sun-stressed skin with a botanical complex of licorice root extract, bisabolol (chamomile) and aloe vera leaf, which hydrate, calm and help mitigate post-sun discomfort.
