Protect + hydrate

The cult Relief Sun, made lighter: SPF50+ PA++++ with a fresh, dewy, never-greasy finish.

Rice seed water and panthenol hydrate while five modern UV filters protect. Like the original Relief Sun, it leaves no white cast and no stickiness, just a sheerer feel that suits oily and combination skin.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Rice seed water

    Almost the base of the formula. It hydrates and gives the clean, even glow the Relief Sun line is known for.

    No. 2 of 45 on the list

  • Panthenol

    Pro-vitamin B5, the “B5” in the name. Keeps skin comfortable and hydrated under the sun.

    No. 13 of 45 on the list

  • Five modern UV filters

    Broad-spectrum chemical filters with no zinc or titanium, which is why it disappears into skin with no white cast.

    No. 5, 6, 8, 9, 18 of 45 on the list

  • Antioxidants + barrier

    Ferulic acid and vitamin E help defend against environmental stress, with beta-glucan, a ceramide and hyaluronic acid for moisture.

    No. 34, 37, 38, 41, 43 of 45 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Oat kernel
  • Artichoke leaf
  • Green tea water
  • Rice bran oil
  • Rice amino acids

How to use

The last step every morning

  1. 1

    Moisturize

    Finish your skincare and let it settle for a minute.

  2. 2

    Measure

    Squeeze out about two finger-lengths for face and neck.

  3. 3

    Dot and spread

    Dot over forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, then spread evenly. Don’t miss ears and hairline.

  4. 4

    Reapply

    Every two hours outdoors, and after swimming, sweating or towel-drying.

Sunscreen you’ll actually want to wear

No white cast, no stickiness, no heavy film. Just hydrated skin and serious protection, every day.

Good to know

  • Made for those who prefer a sheer, non-greasy finish. Oily and combination skin, this one’s for you.
  • Wears well under makeup.
  • A chemical (organic) sunscreen. It isn’t water-resistant, so reapply after water or sweat.
  • Comes in a 50 mL tube and a 10 mL travel size.
