FAQ

Sun Matters is the world’s first microbiome-friendly sun care brand. What does that mean? Our products are designed to protect your skin while respecting its natural balance — making them ideal even for the most sensitive and reactive skin types.

At Sun Matters, we believe sun protection should feel effortless. That’s why our formulas are ultra-light, fast-absorbing, and broad-spectrum, providing UVA & UVB protection that’s gentle on the skin and perfect for daily wear.

Yes! Our products are specifically formulated with sensitive skin in mind. We use gentle, skin-loving ingredients that are free from harsh chemicals, making them suitable for even the most reactive skin types. Our products are non-comedogenic, dermatologist developed, microbiome-friendly, and safe for acne prone skin.

Absolutely. All Sun Matters products offer broad spectrum protection, meaning they protect against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are responsible for premature ageing and long-term skin damage, while UVB rays cause sunburn – our formulas shield you from both.

Your skin has a natural ecosystem of beneficial bacteria known as the skin microbiome, which plays a key role in keeping your skin healthy, balanced and protected. Microbiome-friendly means our formulas are carefully developed to support and preserve this ecosystem rather than disrupt it – resulting in healthier, more resilient skin over time. Sunscreens are notoriously difficult to make microbiome-friendly, as the UV filters and heavy textures typically used can disrupt the skin's delicate barrier. That's what makes us especially proud to be officially certified microbiome-friendly – a seal that confirms our formula is gentle to your skin barrier and truly works in harmony with your skin.

Yes, proudly! Our sun care products are 100% cruelty-free and vegan. We never test on animals and use no animal-derived ingredients – because conscious beauty means caring for all living things.

Sun protection should always be the final step in your morning skincare routine, applied after your moisturiser and before makeup. Apply generously to all exposed areas of skin at least 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming and sweating. For daily use, even on cloudy days, SPF is your skin's best friend – rain or shine.
