Summer, Sorted: What’s Hot in Sun Care (and the Ingredients to Match)
It’s no secret that sun care is having a serious moment, and we’re not just talking SPF. From skin barrier-boosting actives to reef-safe formulas that actually feel good to wear, today’s sun protection is smart, sophisticated, and in demand.
In this feature, we’re diving into the latest trends lighting up the sun care space—and spotlighting the standout ingredients that can help your next formulation shine.
Whether you’re chasing that featherlight finish, long-wear protection, or a more planet-friendly profile, we’ve got you covered (literally).
Funscreen
2025 is all about making sun protection stylish, fun, and totally irresistible. Beige bottles and clinical vibes? Gone. In their place: watermelon-scented SPF, glittery formulas, and packaging so cute you’ll want to show it off.
Sunscreen is getting a serious glow-up, with playful formats like rollerball sticks, jelly textures, and shimmer-infused sprays that make reapplying a moment. We aren't just wearing SPF, we’re loving it.
Bold colours, juicy scents, and cheeky names are turning SPF into a beauty essential, not a chore. Because if it’s not fun, we’re not doing it! In 2025, sunscreen finally gets to shine.
Future-Ready Ingredients & Formulation Inspiration
This superstar ingredient fights back against all kinds of sun villains, UV, IR-A, and even blue light, helping to zap wrinkles, fade spots, and boost your skin’s natural glow. Plus, it locks in moisture and firms things up for a fresh, youthful bounce.

Sun care that feels like a holiday? Yes, please! Evicare® Emulgiza Light brings the magic to funscreen with their Pineapple Sunscreen Lotion.

The silky smooth texture is fuss-free, gliding on like a dream, with no stickiness, just feel-good fun.
Sensory Sun Care
Much like funscreen, sensory sun care is all about products that feel as good as they protect, think textures you want to dip your fingers into, and scents that make SPF feel like a spa day.
From foams, whipped mousse, and cloud-light creams to silky serums that melt into skin, sun care has evolved. It's not just about protection anymore; it's a full-on sensorial experience.
Today’s most-loved formulas are lightweight, smell amazing, and leave your skin with an aesthetic finish (hello, dewy glow!). Because let’s face it, skincare that feels like self-care? That’s the vibe for 2025.
Fresh Ingredient Finds
This natural complex brings serious performance with a sensory twist by keeping pigments perfectly dispersed, boosting water resistance, and leaving skin with a light, buttery-smooth feel you’ll actually look forward to applying. Powerful protection meets feel-good textures, because sensory sun care is where sunshine and skincare collide!

Multifunctional Movement
Sun care is sneaking into everything, and we’re here for the multi-functional movement. SPF is no longer just for the beach bag; it’s popping up in your foundation and your hair mist. From UV-protective hair products and makeup with built-in SPF to clothing that blocks the sun!
Today’s consumers want more than just UV defense. They’re after multitasking formulas that do it all, blur fine lines, boost glow, add a hint of tint, and leave skin looking younger and smoother.
This shift toward skin-first, future-proof beauty means preventive care isn’t just smart, it’s stylish. SPF is no longer a step in the routine. It is the routine.
