It’s no secret: here at Care to Beauty, we love sunscreen. Not only do we love talking about it, we love wearing it. There’s just something about applying a little shield to your face before leaving the house, you know? And what a shield: when properly applied, sunscreen can protect the skin against dark spots, premature aging, sunburn, and other forms of sun damage (which can later develop into skin cancer). It’s no wonder that we immediately bonded with Hello Sunday, the new SPF brand that’s just burst into the scene with a motto we wholeheartedly support: “all year round SPF protection, rain or shine.”
Sunscreen Everyday, for Everyone: The Hello Sunday Way
We know it, you know it, Hello Sunday knows it, it’s important to wear sunscreen every day. However, not every sunscreen product is a good option for everyday use. If you’ve got oily skin, you may struggle with excessively oily formulas that cause breakouts; if you’ve got a darker complexion, you may be sick and tired of trying sunscreen after sunscreen only to end up with a white cast all over your skin.
At Hello Sunday, the goal is to provide you with featherlight formulas that look good, feel good, and protect not only against UVA/UVB rays, but also against HEV light (also known as blue light).
Vegan and Cruelty-free Formulas
Hello Sunday sunscreens are certified vegan with the European Vegetarian Union (EVU)–but that’s not all! Following European regulations that forbid testing on animals, Hello Sunday sunscreens are also cruelty-free.
Last, but not least, Hello Sunday sunscreens are free from benzophenone, homosalate, octinoxate, and oxybenzone. Octinoxate and oxybenzone, in particular, have been under the attention of scientists for a while, as they try to understand whether these compounds have a harmful effect on developing coral. Studies are ongoing and evidence is still insufficient, but sunscreen products containing octinoxate and oxybenzone have already been banned in a few countries. Something to keep in mind if you’re traveling!
Gorgeous (and Recyclable) Packaging
You may have noticed Hello Sunday makes gorgeous packaging, but did you know it’s also recyclable? According to the brand, 93.3% of their product packaging is recyclable. The tubes and bottles can be disposed of in the plastic recycling bin. The only exception is the serum, which must be separated in two parts: the plastic cap to go in the plastic recycling bin, and the bottle to go in the glass recycling bin.
