Overview

• Melanin provides limited natural UV defense, making daily application of SPF crucial to prevent sun damage, hyperpigmentation and skin cancer.
• Sunscreen technology splits into mineral formulas that reflect UV rays and chemical formulas that convert UV into harmless heat.
• Emma Lewisham’s tinted mineral cream and Dr. Jart+’s invisible stick bring hydration, pore-blurring finishes and on-the-go reapplication convenience to brown skin.
• Novel formulations include peptide-activated protection that boosts defense under intense sun, refillable glass containers and waterless glow oils safe for face, hair and body.
• Many of the latest SPFs integrate antioxidants like niacinamide, vitamin C and plant extracts to soothe, hydrate and support long-term skin health.
