Luxurious textures, some serious protection and every finish from matte to satin under the sun (pun intended), our Summer Sunscreen Edit is here. Featuring finds from up-and-coming Indian brands to those around the world to legendary icons that have stood the test of time, this is the only edit that you need to find your perfect SPF this season.
Unkissed
d’you
With a cooling blue hue and a lightweight, gel-serum texture, d’you’s Unkissed sunscreen feels more like skincare and less like sunscreen. It has patented micro capsules that hold high-performance sunscreen filters, giving you broad-spectrum protection that deflects both UVA and UVB rays. The formula is also packed with fourteen natural extracts that calm the skin and enable moisture retention for a dewy finish.
Niacinamide Oil-Balance Sunscreen Wishcare
Helping target sun spots, excess oil production and sunburn, the Niacinamide Oil-Balance Sunscreen packs quite a punch — especially given the accessible price point. Formulated with oil-balancing and skin-soothing actives, the lightweight, milky-finish texture of this exceptional formula leaves no white cast and offers a smooth, matte finish that lasts all day.
Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh
Beauty of Joseon
A globally renowned classic (and for good reason), Beauty of Joseon’s Relief Sun Aqua Fresh delivers superior sun protection while revitalizing environmentally stressed skin. We love how hydrating the lotion-like formula — enhanced with Rice Water and Panthenol — feels, yet shields the skin with a gorgeous satin finish that wears incredibly well, both by itself and under makeup.
Brightening Mineral Sunscreen
Ranavat
Another standout formula from Ranavat. the Brightening Mineral Sunscreen helps protect the skin from the sun and reduces hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. The brand’s proprietary Adaptogenic Shield Complex™, that combines over twenty antioxidant-rich adaptogens with zinc oxide, offers comprehensive protection from both sun and blue light and melts beautifully into the skin with a natural, radiant finish.
Hueguard Invisible Body Mist SPF 50 Live Tinted
Built on the goal to serve deeper skin tones with skincare, suncare and makeup that they deserve, Live Tinted’s first foray into body sunscreen is worth noting. Like vacation in a bottle, in part due to its iconic sweet coconut scent, but mainly because of how light it feels on the skin, the formula packs Niacinamide, Goji Berry, and Vitamin E to help hydrate and brighten, while drying quickly, sans the grease or white cast.
Low Effort 3-in-1 Sunscreen
Atypiical
One of the newest entrants on the block, Atypiical’s Low Effort Sunscreen combines moisturizer, primer and SPF 50 PA++++ in one beautifully easy to wear product. Along with (in-vivo tested) sun protection, it also features a BlueShield® technology that safeguards skin on screen-heavy days. We love the lavender hue that instantly cancels out yellow undertones, commonly seen in Indian skin tones.
Play Antioxidant Mist SPF 50 PA++++
Supergoop
Make sun protection for the body feel effortless with Supergoop’s Play Antioxidant Mist. This lightweight formula applies well on both dry and wet skin and at any angle — thanks to its unique bag-on-valve technology, which keeps the SPF free of chemical propellants and applies until the very last drop. Water-proof and sweat-proof, we love how this sunscreen spray feels supremely refreshing on the skin and leaves it glowing and hydrated.
Anthelios UVMUNE400
La Roche-Posay
A global favorite, the dermat-approved Anthelios UVMUNE400 is an invisible fluid SPF offering exceptional sun protection with a lightweight, breathable finish that wears beautifully through the summer heat and humidity. Formulated with the most efficient UV filter — Mexoryl 400 — that is known to protect the skin against the heaviest of cellular damage, the sunscreen goes on like a veil but packs in serious benefits, all without leaving any white cast.
