From Kosas’ viral DreamBeam Sunlit sunscreen to Olehenriksen’s Banana Bright Mineral SPF.
Sun’s out, sunscreen on!
Summer is on the horizon (we swear), and our favourite beauty brands have begun rolling out their 2024 sunscreen launches. The best sunblocks on the market now double as skin-loving treats that do more than protect. From bronze tints and hydrating lotions to practical face sticks and hand creams, we’re in for a wonderful year of happy and healthy skin.
Ahead, the sunscreen launches you must know about this year, with appearances from buzzy brands like Kosas, Tatcha, Vacation Inc and more.
Tatcha The Silk Sunscreen SPF 50
For silky-soft skin and sun protection in one, look no further than Tatcha’s Silk Sunscreen. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and silk extract, this weightless sunblock visibly smooths and evens out unbalanced skin tones with SPF 50-level protection.
In addition, its Klear zinc oxide ingredient shields the skin from free radicals that can lead to premature signs of aging, reducing the appearance of fine lines in the process.
Sephora Collection Daily Mineral Sunscreen Cream SPF 30
Sephora Collection’s new Daily Mineral Sunscreen Cream relies on zinc oxide to help form a physical barrier on the skin’s surface and defend it against harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Soak up its hydrating properties and wear it on its own as a moisturizer, as a makeup base or simply as a much-needed sun guard.
Vichy Capital Soleil UV+Age Daily Sunscreen SPF 60
Vichy’s very first sun protection offering with anti-aging benefits has arrived. Meet Capital Soleil UV+Age Daily SPF 60. Apply this lightweight lotion daily to ward off UVA and UVB rays, while minimizing the appearance of dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles.
Suitable for all skin types, it’s invisible and easy to absorb, which means it layers like a dream underneath the rest of your makeup routine.
Kosas DreamBeam Sunlit Sunscreen SPF 40
If you haven’t spotted this one on your TikTok feed yet, allow us to introduce you to Kosas’ DreamBeam Sunlit Sunscreen. A tinted iteration of the original DreamBeam cream, this mineral sunscreen leaves behind a sun-kissed finish.
With the same ceramides- and peptides-packed formula as the OG, rest assured you won’t be missing out on smoother, brighter skin.
Kiehls Beyond Screen UV Serum SPF 50 Facial Sunscreen
“More than an SPF,” is Kiehls’ philosophy for their just-dropped Beyond Screen UV Serum SPF 50 Sunscreen, and they’re so right. The star collagen peptide ingredient helps to visibly reduce and correct signs of UV damage and premature aging, while you stay safe from sun damage at the same time.
Promising no white cast, Kiehls’ serum-meets-sunscreen blends into the skin seamlessly for an invisible finish on all skin tones.
Olehenriksen Banana Bright Mineral SPF Sunscreen
Olehenriksen’s first-ever sunscreen has arrived, and it doesn’t disappoint. Expanding upon the brand’s iconic Banana Bright line, the Banana Bright Mineral SPF 30 sunscreen is a multitasking everyday lotion made to brighten and protect.
Infused with vitamin C and banana powder-inspired pigments, it’s the radiance booster you’ve been missing in your skincare lineup.
Ultra Violette Extreme Hydrating Body and Hand SPF 50+ Sunscreen
A day in the sun calls for serious sun protection, and Ultra Violette‘s Extreme Hydrating Body and Hand SPF 50+ Screen is up for the challenge. Softly scented with coconut and offering both sweat and water resistance, it’s set to become a summertime staple.
New to Sephora Canada, the Australian brand is full of sun-shielding goodies, from a hydrating facial cream to a mattifying and fragrance-free screen we think you’ll love.
Vacation Super Stick SPF 45
Prefer your sunblocks in stick form? Vacation’s Super Stick with SPF 45-level protection goes on super smooth with a clear, satin finish that pairs perfectly with makeup.
Designed in the shape of a tear-drop for precise application, it’s formulated with innovative WaterGlide technology to ensure it glides on easily and tug-free.
Miracle 10 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30
Canadian beauty brand Miracle 10 just unveiled a new sunscreen worth adding to your shopping cart. The Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 is filled with moisturizing oils and skin-loving antioxidants, as well as micronized ingredients like zinc oxide 10 percent for essential sun protection.
And, since the ingredients are made up of such small particles, there’s no white cast left behind to worry about.
Neutrogena Purescreen Mineral UV Tint Face Liquid Sunscreen
If you like your sunscreens with a little colour, Neutrogena’s Purescreen Mineral UV Tint Face Liquid Sunscreen with SPF 30 is sure to win you over. Available in three shades from light to deep, it’s been designed to enhance your natural skin tone while blurring imperfections and imparting a summery glow.
Within each shade, 100 per cent mineral actives and vitamin E keep the skin feeling nourished and conditioned, too.
