Advancements in sunscreen product formulations

Overview

Developments in sunscreen formulations have focused on improving texture, ease of application, and skin-care benefits.

In mid-2026, beauty editors and influencers highlighted specific mineral sunscreens, such as Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Mineral Milk SPF 50, which was described as “super lightweight” and compatible with makeup. Other notable products included CeraVe’s Invisible Mineral SPF 50 and La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios UV Pro-Sport.

Consumer feedback has reinforced these trends, with users praising mineral zinc formulas like Lerinn Beauty’s ZincPure Sunmilk SPF 50 for avoiding the “heavy or chalky residue” typically associated with such products. Additionally, spray formulations like Supergoop! Play have been recognized for simplifying reapplication, with dermatologists suggesting sprays as a useful supplement to traditional lotions for maintaining coverage during outdoor activities.
