As sun care evolves, the future will be shaped by microbiome-friendly ingredients and UV filters designed to protect not only the skin but also its beneficial bacteria.
Developed in collaboration with top chemists and dermatologists, Sun Matters' microbiome friendly formula is based on a proprietary blacklist of ingredients, ensuring it is non-invasive, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, Hawaii Reef Safe, and microbiome-friendly certified. At the heart of this innovation is a unique ingredient complex featuring advanced biotechnology derived from plant stem cells. This powerful blend strengthens the skin’s natural defences against sun damage while enhancing elasticity and resilience.
“Our goal is to make a lasting impact in skincare by offering a sunscreen that not only protects against the long-term risks of skin cancer and aging but also preserves the skin’s natural microbiome. We are incredibly proud to be certified as the world’s first microbiome-friendly retail sunscreen product marking a new era in sun care — one where skin health and sun protection go hand in hand,” says Stella Hinderer, Founder of Sun Matters.
Sun Matters’ Light Serum redefines sunscreen with its ultra-lightweight, fast-absorbing texture, making it perfect for daily use and makeup compatibility. The formula features Photobiome™, a groundbreaking antioxidant ingredient that enhances the skin’s ability to defend itself against sun induced stress, along with hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and ectoin to strengthen the skin barrier. Carefully selected gentle emulsifiers and preservatives ensure the sunscreen remains microbiome-friendly and safe for sensitive, even acne-prone skin.
Launching exclusively at Douglas in April 2025, Sun Matters aims to revolutionise consumer behaviour by making microbiome-friendly sun protection an essential part of everyday skincare.
