The Sunscreen Company

Only one of these options is an actual thing. And it’s the only one that gives you softer skin every time you wash your face. Is it a cleanser or is it a hydrating mask? Our O+Lait Milk Melting Cleanser has a handful of units left.

And no Erewhon, we are not trying to give you smoothie ideas.

Real Talk On Eye Patch Gate: if you are over a certain age and have never videoed your skincare routine or a GRWM, when is the last time you’ve reached for an eye patch? Really, really….

The most visible form of skincare, it’s no coincidence that the rise of eye patches has matched the rise of social media and performative self-care.

Do they really beat a good serum or eye cream? Are they worth the fuss? To everyone grinding out their eye patches, are we having fun? Maybe brands wouldn’t be humbling themselves to crank out identical eye patches if they knew we weren’t really into them anyways.

Ever move houses and realize you lost thousands of dollars of Italian handcrafted airless packaging for one of your most popular products? No? May be a niche problem.

All to say, our Retin+Erase is making a comeback but in slightly interim form. We’ve got a good old airless to protect that magical little powerhouse formula and it’s got some real Disco vibes. The good stuff (the formula) is the same. It’s a pugilistic little retinoid ester and maybe its simpler packaging actually reflects its true nature. It’s got 4 ingredients. No fluff. A lot of active.

We’re also thinking this style of quicker-to-customer means we can drop little gems direct to our beloved community. Thoughts?

If everyone is just going to be making doodles….

What happens when a product drops from another brand and it looks remarkably similar to one you have had out for years? Honestly, you tell them they look cute and go on with your day. We’re not asking for a writers credit on another’s song.

Now if your product formula and concept is an attempt at duping years of work and creativity, best believe we are going to engage the services of whoever represents Taylor Swift in her disputes. The letter we send will be…terse.

The most boring, moderate and long-winded take that will make everyone on both sides of the sunscreen controversy mad. 😡

What are the benefits to actually rubbing in sunscreen in vs spraying it on and letting it ‘air dry’? Your skin may look smooth but it has hills and valleys. When applying sunscreen, you want to push your sunscreen into the valleys and not just float on top of the hills. Hence the act of rubbing your sunscreen in actually improves its ability to protect your skin thoroughly. So no sunscreen application by osmosis, at least not yet. And also, sunscreen application tips are great but we would still argue the quality of your sunscreen matters most. Lock in to our profile page for the ultimate in sunscreen education.

Trend on the rise on Reddit….sunscreens WITHOUT Niacinamide. It’s the skincare ingredient that feels like it’s in everything. Its prevalence means it can be hard to find skincare and suncare without it. Have you ever had issues with this ingredient? Especially all the friends with rosacea…
