Product details

A tube of Glutathione Niacinamide Sunscreen on a white table against a sunlit mint wall, between centella leaves with a glass dish and a swoosh of white cream

Sun + glow

SPF50+ PA++++ in a soft, fragrance-free cream that adds niacinamide, glutathione and centella and leaves no white cast.

APLB’s daily sunscreen pairs four modern UV filters with the line’s brightening and soothing complex. The soft, elastic cream spreads easily, catches excess oil without clumping when you reapply, and sits on skin as a fresh, natural-looking layer.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Four modern UV filters

    Broad-spectrum filters covering UVA and UVB, with no zinc or titanium dioxide, so it goes on without a white cast.

    No. 4, 5, 6, 10 of 54 on the list

  • Niacinamide + glutathione

    The line’s brightening pair. APLB processes the glutathione into fine particles to help it absorb, and both help a dull, uneven tone look brighter.

    No. 23, 30 of 54 on the list

  • Centella 3x complex

    Centella leaf water plus three of its active compounds, to soothe sensitive skin exposed to sun and other outside irritation.

    No. 24, 38, 39, 40 of 54 on the list

  • Hyaluronic acid + bounce

    Several forms of hyaluronic acid plus beta-glucan keep skin hydrated under the filters, with collagen and squalane for a supple, comfortable feel.

    No. 34, 37, 44, 45, 46 of 54 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Lotus
  • Artemisia
  • Rice
  • Sea buckthorn
  • Tea tree leaf
  • Eggplant

How to use

Last step in the morning

  1. 1

    Prep

    Finish your morning skincare and let your moisturizer settle.

  2. 2

    Squeeze

    Squeeze out a generous line of cream, enough to cover your whole face and neck.

  3. 3

    Spread

    Spread it evenly over the face and neck, then pat lightly so it settles.

  4. 4

    Reapply

    Top up through the day, especially after sweating, swimming or towel drying.

Protected, fresh, even-looking skin

A daily sunscreen for sensitive skin that wants high protection and a little brightening care without a white cast.

Good to know

  • A chemical (organic) sunscreen. It makes no water-resistance claim, so reapply after water or sweat.
  • No added fragrance, mineral oil, pigment or parabens, per APLB.
  • Contains hydrolyzed collagen. APLB says it uses no animal raw materials, but check with the brand if you avoid animal-derived ingredients.
  • 40 mL tube. The old and new packaging may ship at random.
