SPF steps into skincare?

Summer 2026 marks a turning point: SPF has fully evolved into skincare. As consumers focus on longevity and healthy aging, daily sun protection has become one of the most important steps in their routine, and they expect it to do more than block UV. Tinted sunscreens double as complexion enhancers. Serum-SPF hybrids carry active ingredients. Ultra-light mists layer seamlessly over makeup. Hydration, barrier support, antioxidants, peptides and blue-light protection are becoming standard, all in lightweight, invisible textures that fit into daily routines.

New For U.S. Formulators: BEMT

BEMT (bemotrizinol) is the first addition to the U.S. sunscreen monograph in more than 25 years, offering broad-spectrum protection and excellent photostability.

Azelis is an authorized distributor of Tinosorb® S (BEMT).
