Your sunscreen is already outdated

It protects from UV.
But your skin faces much more.

Consumers want more than SPF

The expectations for sun care are evolving rapidly. Protection alone is no longer enough.

• 63% of global sun care launches now feature product tested claims, up from 56%

• 2× increase in barrier related claims in aftersun products

• 90% of consumers say skin safety is their top priority

• Only 14% of products address environmental aggressors

There is a clear gap between what consumers need and what most products deliver.
