Heritage and History
Colorescience was founded in 2000 in Carlsbad, California with a focus on developing mineral-based sun protection that was also cosmetically elegant — a combination that hadn't been successfully achieved in the consumer market at the time.
The brand's brush-on mineral powder sunscreen became its signature product, offering broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection in a format that could be applied over makeup without disturbing it. This format pioneered a new category in sun protection.
Made in Carlsbad, California
Colorescience designs and manufactures its products in Carlsbad, California, with pharmaceutical-grade production standards applied to cosmetic formulations. Every product uses 100% mineral active ingredients — zinc oxide and titanium dioxide — rather than chemical UV filters.
The mineral-only approach matters for consumers with reactive skin, those who prefer not to use chemical sunscreens, and anyone who needs reef-safe formulas. Colorescience's California manufacturing allows close quality control over the mineral particle sizing and suspension that makes their formulas apply cleanly rather than leaving the white cast associated with older mineral sunscreen formulas.
