Sunscreen is often called the “non-negotiable” step in skincare—but with endless options on shelves (SPF 15 to 100, “physical” vs. “chemical,” “waterproof” vs. “hydrating”), figuring out which one is effective can feel overwhelming. The truth is, an effective sunscreen isn’t just about a high SPF number; it’s about how well it targets harmful UV rays, fits your lifestyle, and matches your unique needs—whether you’re an adult spending days outdoors, a parent looking for kid-safe protection, or someone with sensitive skin.
At Oyunde, we design sunscreens based on two core principles: science-backed effectiveness (to block UV damage) and personalized (to suit different ages, activities, and skin types). Our product line covers every scenario—from daily office use to beach vacations, from toddlers to adults—and our OEM/ODM/OBM services let brands create custom sunscreen solutions for their specific audiences. To choose the right sunscreen, first, you need to understand how sun protection works.
Sun damage comes from two main types of ultraviolet (UV) rays, and an effective sunscreen must address both:
UVB Rays: Short-wavelength rays that penetrate the outer layer of skin (the epidermis). They cause sunburn, contribute to skin cancer, and trigger premature aging (like dark spots). SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures a sunscreen’s ability to block UVB—e.g., SPF 30 blocks ~97% of UVB rays, SPF 50 blocks ~98%.
UVA Rays: Long-wavelength rays that penetrate deeper (into the dermis). They break down collagen (causing wrinkles and sagging) and are the main cause of “photoaging” (aging from sun exposure). Unlike UVB, UVA rays are present year-round (even on cloudy days) and pass through windows. To block UVA, look for “broad-spectrum” on the label.
Physical Sunscreens (Mineral): Use ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. They sit on top of the skin, reflecting UV rays away (like a “shield”). They’re gentler, ideal for sensitive skin and kids, but can leave a white cast if not formulated well.
Chemical Sunscreens: Use ingredients like avobenzone or octinoxate. They absorb UV rays, convert them into harmless heat, and release it from the skin. They’re often lighter (no white cast) but may irritate sensitive skin.
The key to effectiveness? A sunscreen must be broad-spectrum (blocks UVA + UVB), have an SPF appropriate for your activity, and be applied correctly (a quarter-sized amount for the face, reapplied every 2 hours or after sweating/swimming). Now, let’s break down how to choose the right one—starting with age-specific needs, and how Oyunde’s products deliver.
We don’t believe in “one-sunscreen-fits-all.” Different ages have different skin needs: kids’ skin is thinner and more sensitive (needs gentle, non-irritating formulas), while adults may need sunscreens that double as moisturizers or work with makeup. Our line is divided into two core categories—each with tailored SPF values and formulas.
Adults’ sunscreen needs vary by activity and skin type—we’ve designed three options to cover daily life, outdoor adventures, and sensitive skin:
Daily Shield SPF 30 (Broad-Spectrum, Hybrid)
Ideal for daily use (office, commuting, running errands). It’s a hybrid sunscreen (combines physical zinc oxide and chemical avobenzone) to balance lightweight texture and gentle protection. Key features:
SPF 30 (blocks ~97% UVB) + broad-spectrum (blocks UVA up to 400nm, the full range of harmful UVA rays).
Oil-free and non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), making it perfect for oily/combination skin. For dry skin, it’s infused with hyaluronic acid to add moisture without greasiness.
Absorbs in 10 seconds with no white cast—works seamlessly under makeup.
Outdoor Guard SPF 50+ (Waterproof, Physical)
Made for extended outdoor activity (hiking, beach days, sports). It uses 100% physical sunscreen (zinc oxide) for strong, long-lasting protection:
SPF 50+ (blocks ~98% UVB) + broad-spectrum; water-resistant for 80 minutes (meets FDA standards for “waterproof”).
Contains antioxidant green tea extract to fight free radicals from UV rays (which worsen aging).
Thick but spreadable—no chalky finish, and safe for sensitive skin (no chemical irritants).
Sensitive Care SPF 30 (Fragrance-Free, Physical)
For adults with sensitive, rosacea-prone, or post-treatment skin (e.g., after chemical peels). It’s formulated with minimal ingredients to avoid irritation:
100% zinc oxide (gentle physical barrier) + SPF 30 broad-spectrum.
Fragrance-free, paraben-free, and alcohol-free—no ingredients that trigger redness.
Infused with ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier while protecting.
Kids’ skin is 30% thinner than adults’ and has a weaker barrier—so their sunscreens need to be extra gentle (no harsh chemicals) and easy to apply (tear-free, no white cast). We offer two options for different ages:
Little Shield SPF 30+ (For Toddlers 6 Months+)
Designed for babies and toddlers (6 months to 6 years)—the most sensitive age group. Key features:
100% physical zinc oxide (no chemical filters like oxybenzone, which is linked to hormone disruption in kids).
SPF 30+ broad-spectrum; water-resistant for 40 minutes (safe for splashing at the pool).
Tear-free and fragrance-free (smells like mild lavender, but uses natural essential oils, not synthetic fragrances).
Non-greasy, so kids won’t rub it off (a common struggle for parents!).
Kids Active SPF 50 (For Kids 7–12 Years)
For older kids who love sports, playgrounds, or camping—needs to be durable and fun to use:
Hybrid formula (zinc oxide + mild chemical avobenzone) for lightweight protection that stays put.
SPF 50 broad-spectrum; water-resistant for 80 minutes (stands up to sweating).
Comes in a spray bottle (easy to apply on wiggly kids) and a “berry blast” scent (natural flavor oils, no artificial sweeteners).
Dermatologist-tested to be non-irritating, even for kids with eczema.
Beyond our direct-to-consumer line, we help brands launch tailored sunscreen products via OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing), ODM (Original Design Manufacturing), and OBM (Original Brand Manufacturing) services. We understand that every brand has unique audiences—whether you’re a baby brand needing tear-free kids’ sunscreen, a sports brand wanting waterproof SPF 50, or a luxury skincare line needing a “sunscreen-serum hybrid.” Our customization process is built to turn your vision into effective, market-ready products:
If you already have a sunscreen line but want to boost its effectiveness or expand to new audiences, we integrate our proven technologies into your products. For example:
A drugstore brand had a basic SPF 30 sunscreen but wanted to add “broad-spectrum UVA protection” (it only blocked UVB before). We added our gentle avobenzone blend, rebranded it as “Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 30,” and sales rose 35% (consumers noticed the “broad-spectrum” label, a top priority for skincare buyers).
A baby brand’s kids’ sunscreen left a thick white cast—parents complained kids refused to wear it. We reformulated it with micronized zinc oxide (same gentle protection, no white cast) and kept the tear-free formula. Customer satisfaction jumped from 62% to 91%.
For brands needing end-to-end product development (no existing formula), we design custom sunscreens based on your target market. Examples:
A fitness brand wanted a “sports sunscreen” for gym-goers—needs to be sweat-resistant, non-greasy, and work with post-workout skincare. We created an SPF 50 hybrid sunscreen with niacinamide (controls oil) and hyaluronic acid (hydrates after sweating), packaged in a small, gym-bag-friendly tube. It launched in 2023 and became the brand’s top-selling skincare product.
A luxury spa brand wanted a “sunscreen for post-facial clients”—must be ultra-gentle, fragrance-free, and boost skin repair. We developed a physical SPF 30 with ceramides and aloe vera, marketed as “Post-Treatment Shield.” Spas now include it in their facial kits, and it’s driven repeat purchases from clients.
For entrepreneurs wanting to build a brand centered on sunscreen (e.g., “kid-safe suncare” or “eco-friendly sunscreen”), we handle everything from concept to launch. For example:
An eco-conscious startup wanted a “sustainable sunscreen line” (recyclable packaging, reef-safe ingredients). We developed three products: adult SPF 30 (reef-safe, no oxybenzone), kids SPF 30+ (biodegradable tube), and outdoor SPF 50 (made with 50% recycled plastic). We also created marketing materials highlighting “reef-safe” and “vegan” claims—key trends for eco-friendly consumers. The brand launched in 2024 and gained 15k Instagram followers in 4 months.
An effective sunscreen is one that blocks both UVA and UVB rays, fits your age and lifestyle, and feels comfortable enough to use daily. Oyunde’s sunscreens deliver on this by tailoring formulas to adults (daily, outdoor, sensitive) and kids (toddlers, active kids), with SPF values that match real-world needs. For brands, our OEM/ODM/OBM services turn “effective sunscreen” into a product that resonates with your audience—whether you’re targeting busy parents, outdoor enthusiasts, or sensitive-skin users.
At the end of the day, the “best” sunscreen is the one you (or your customers) will wear consistently—and Oyunde makes that easy: effective protection, tailored to you.
