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.
