We all love a bit of sunshine, but as formulators, it’s a careful balancing act. While the sun gives a healthy glow, its UV rays can seriously stress the skin.
Sunburn isn’t just uncomfortable; it accelerates visible ageing and contributes to skin cancer. That’s why broad-spectrum protection is essential, with experts recommending a minimum of SPF 15 alongside a high UVA rating. Choosing the right sun care ingredients is the first step to effective protection.
A little sun goes a long way, triggering the body’s production of vitamin D - vital for bone health and preventing conditions like rickets.
Beyond UV protection, today’s products rely on a mix of sun care ingredients: moisturising actives to prevent dehydration, soothing agents to calm redness, healing ingredients to support post-sun recovery, anti-ageing actives to combat photo-ageing, and collagen-promoting ingredients to maintain firmness and elasticity.
From sun creams and sprays to after-sun lotions, gels, and balms, we've got the right sun care ingredients help you formulate products that protect, repair, and future-proof the skin—all while delivering a luxurious sensorial experience.
