“South Africa has one of the highest rates of skin cancer globally,” says dermatologist, Dr Barbara van der Westhuizen. “Daily sunscreen use is one of the most effective steps you can take to protect your skin from UV damage, prevent photo-ageing and reduce long-term risk. This new formula combines advanced sun protection with active skincare benefits, simplifying routines without compromising on efficacy.
“Consumers increasingly demand sunscreens that are elegant, effective and compatible with everyday life. SUN functional answers this need with a formula that feels invisible, enhances the complexion and protects against both immediate and long-term UV damage,” she notes.
“Our goal was to create a sunscreen that people want to wear every day,” adds Shannon Dougall, founder of SKIN functional. “When a sunscreen feels good on the skin, consistent use becomes effortless – making the biggest difference in long-term skin health.”
