Why we love it

  • Lingonberry Stem Cells

  • Prickly Pear

  • Hyaluronic Acid

Lingonberry Stem Cells have protective properties against the damaging effects of sun and blue light radiation. These stem cells increase the natural antioxidant mechanism of skin cells and help to decrease skin inflammation caused by UBV radiation. They prevent skin damage caused by IR and UV radiation and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and age spots and improve firmness.

Prickly Pear is an ultra refined elixir from Mexican cactuses (known as "prickly pear"), shown to calm irritated skin whilst also having excellent hydrating properties due to high content of water binding compounds. It is exceptionally soothing and firming with strong antioxidant properties.

Hyaluronic Acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water making it a highly effective component in moisturisers. Hyaluronic acid helps to reduce wrinkles, making the skin look younger with an improved skin tone. We use lower molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid which penetrates deeper and has more effective hydrating properties. It also increases the production of collagen, which makes this SPF cream also great for anti-aging.

What you Thought

  • "I'm in love with this new sun cream! It applies easily, and doesn't leave a white residue but makes my skin feel moisturised and comfortable. I love that it is reef-friendly. It worked brilliantly to protect my skin on a sunny day at the beach - it's my new summer skin must-have!"

    - Emily

  • “This is the perfect daily SPF. My skin tends to be on the oily side so I use this instead of my usual moisturiser and it works great. It instantly nourishes my skin and works perfectly under make up!”

    - Izzy

  • "I absolutely love this new SPF30! It's very hard to find a great natural SPF that does not leave a white cast on the face - but this one from Evolve doesn't! It blends into my skin seamlessly and sits really well under makeup too. I also love the sleek looking tube, definitely my new favourite daily SPF!"

Reviews

What’s not to love

"This is such a good fragrance free facial sunscreen. It’s quite thick, so I tend to dot it on my face and neck before rubbing it in. It dries quickly and there’s no greasy residue which is so good, therefore perfect under makeup, or to wear alone. I’m not a sun worshiper, but it’s good to know that I’m now using factor 30 on my face to protect my skin. The packaging is nice and the tube is a good size to pop in your bag for touch ups during the day. I’d definitely recommend it."

Caroline H. (5/5)

Good value for money, modern

"Good value for money, modern looking packaging, makes my skin soft and protected. Only a small amount is required which soaks in leaving little residue. Ingredients are clearly shown."

Julie G. (5/5)

Wow this facial cream is

"Wow this facial cream is amazing. Even my girls use it now and are fully protected throughout the day. No nasty smell you normally get with oher SPF cream. I will be using this every day for great protection."

Rebecca W. (5/5)

Lightweight and effective

"Smells pleasant with no nasty chemicals that most sun creams have such as endocrine disrupters. Gives good protection on hot days. It doesn't make me sweat more on my face but doesn't run into my eyes and cause stinging."

Sherrie F. (5/5)

"Just love it. Delivered on time, good quality products"

Goes without saying, got to

"Goes without saying, got to use your SPF! I put it on as a base under my makeup and it’s not sticky. Doesn’t make my skin breakout too which many other brands do."
