A feel-good, non-greasy sunscreen face lotion that layers well under makeup, blends in clear with no white cast and delivers 24 hours of hydration¹.
Evidence
5/5
Multiple meta-analyses and large prospective cohorts (including the Nurses' Health Study and Australian cohorts) show that regular sunscreen use reduces melanoma incidence by 40–50% and non-melanoma skin cancer by 60–80%. SPF 50 provides meaningful additional protection over SPF 30, though the incremental gain diminishes at higher SPFs. Consistent application and reapplication are critical; real-world protection is often lower than labeled SPF due to under-application.
Mechanism
Sunscreen with SPF 50 blocks or absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation, primarily UVB rays that cause sunburn and DNA damage in skin cells. SPF 50 indicates it allows approximately 1/50th of UVB rays to reach the skin. Broad-spectrum formulations also filter UVA rays, which penetrate deeper and contribute to photoaging and melanoma risk.
