Get Broad Spectrum SPF30 Sun Protection From Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream
Hey sunscreen buffs! Keen to try a CC cream with a whopping 20 percent non-nano, micronized zinc oxide? YES? A CC cream that offers full spectrum SPF30 sun protection? YES? A 12-in-1 multitasker? YES? Then you need to check out Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream.
Some of you may recall my heads up on this CC cream in my recent post about the Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Collection. I’d briefly mentioned that I was won over by the product but what I didn’t share were my initial conflicting thoughts about it.
You see, I’m always game when it comes to trying CC creams from natural or organic brands. I just can’t wait to try them. Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream was no different. I wanted to try it once I knew it was available in Singapore. In fact, it was the first product in the stem cellular collection that I picked up to use.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t too impressed. It did a fair job in terms of color correcting but I couldn’t help but compare it to two cheaper CC creams in the natural category which I’ve used. Not only did they cost lesser, they performed better!
I was sorely disappointed and promptly put this product away, wanting nothing to do with Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream again. But something happened later…something that caused me to give it another chance. As I began using the other skin care products in the Juice Beauty Stem Cellular collection and liked what I saw, I decided to take a second look at Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream.
Contains 20 percent zinc oxide
I was still very hesitant given my mediocre experience until I noticed that this CC cream contains 20 percent non-nano, micronized zinc oxide. Wait a minute. This is not just a CC cream…this is a broad spectrum sunscreen! And that’s what it says on the packaging: this is a broad spectrum SPF30 sunscreen! How did I miss that? o.O
Woah…that got me really excited because I have always preferred sunscreens containing 20 per cent or higher zinc oxide. And this works out to be a perfect sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white cast or or an oily slick on my face. I almost let a good sunscreen slipped from my fingertips.
Powerful age-defying ingredients
Here’s what’s inside the Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream:
Active Ingredient: Zinc Oxide 20%
Inactive Ingredients: Juice Beauty proprietary blend of fruit stem cells: apple buds, grape buds & lemon bark. Organic juices of pyrus malus (organic apple juice)*, vitis vinifera (organic white grape juice)*, aloe barbadensis (organic aloe leaf juice)*, cocos nucifera (organic coconut oil)*, caprylic/capric triglyceride, sorbitan stearate, ricinus communis (castor seed oil), polyglyceryl-10 laurate, magnesium sulfate, helianthus annuus (organic sunflower seed oil)*, simmondsia chinensis (organic jojoba seed oil)*, tocopherol (Vitamin E), magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (Vitamin C), sodium hyaluronate (vegetable hyaluronic acid), malus sylvestris (apple buds), vitis vinifera (grape buds) & citrus limonum (lemon bark), iron oxides, phenethyl alcohol, ethylhexylglycerin, citrus reticulata (mandarin) & citrus aurantium (petitgrain) pure essential oils.
* = Certified organic ingredient
Like the rest of the products in the Juice Beauty Stem Cellular collection, Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream is formulated with advanced high potency ingredients including a blend of Vitamin C and fruit stem cells infused into an organic resveratrol rich grapeseed base. So this CC cream contains some powerful age-defying ingredients that are great to counter fine lines and wrinkles.
Is this an organic product? Well, not in the strict sense but it is made with some organic ingredients and it does not contain parabens, petroleum, propylene or butylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, pesticides, phthalates, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances.
A multitasker
Juice Beauty calls this product a 12-in-1 multitasker because the product is supposed to deliver the following benefits:
-Reduces appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
-Broad spectrum sun protection
-Evens skin tone
-Smoothens uneven texture
-Creates a radiant, glowing complexions the
-Rich in antioxidants
-Protects with mineral SPF 30
-Ultimate moisturizer
-Skin perfecting color
-Mineral tinted coverage
-No chemical sunscreen
-Non-nano natural sunscreen
When I first read the words “12-in-1 multitasker”, I had to do a double take. I thought it was a typo. Seriously? 12-in-1? While many of the benefits are real, some are a bit of a stretch and comes across more like marketing fluff to me. Keeping it to a CC cream with SPF30 broad spectrum protection is already a good selling point IMO.
Overall thoughts
As a CC cream, I feel meh about how I look in it. But as a sunscreen, I think I look great. The coverage is natural and rather sheer. Yet, it gave my complexion some glow and radiance.
But I’ll credit the brand for formulating different shades for different skin tones especially when most CC creams in the market are made with very limited shades. I’m using the lightest Natural Glow. If your skin is darker, you can consider Desert Glow, Warm Glow, Sun-kissed Glow or even Deep Glow.
Would I purchase this 50ml CC cream for S$70? Yes…the price is high but I would pay for it because I can’t find that many good zinc oxide based sunscreens that apply well and this formulation is superior. I like it as a skin care product. After experiencing positive results from the other Juice Beauty stem cellular range, I believe using this CC cream long term would benefit my skin.
But don’t expect too much from it as a CC cream. This product works best for those who can handle a sheer coverage. If you don’t have flawless complexion, then use this CC cream with a foundation.

Hi,
How dies this compare with the Marie Veronique sunscreen?
Regards,

Not the same…it applies better because the texture is smoother. But I still like MV’s coverage. I sometimes use Juice Beauty CC cream over MV’s.
Is this sufficient on its own as a sunscreen or do I still need to apply one underneath? It really is pricey but if I can escape the white ashy tinge that sunscreen give me then I’m ready to commit to this CC cream especially since I prefer sheer coverage for everyday wear.
It should be okay for casual sun exposure. But if you’re going under the sun for prolonged period, suggest you use a sunscreen in addition to this.
wohoo gg to get my hands on this soon!
I’m wearing this very regularly now. I think you should be able to find a shade that works for you.
Hi….miss i would like to take some suggestion how to buy product from here
Hi, I had purchased Marie Veronique sunscreen. The texture is good, liquidity and very easy to apply. But while applying it I feel that there is bits of particles. Is it the same for you? May I know what is your skin type?
It’s slightly gritty because of the zinc oxide. I have combination skin. Best to use it before an oil.
