Sunscreen tailored to different skin needs

As awareness of sun protection continues to grow, skincare brands are expanding sunscreen offerings to address a wider range of skin concerns beyond UV defense alone.

Hello Glow recently introduced a five-variant Sun Care Stick Collection, building on the success of its original Sun Care Stick SPF 60+ PA++.

The collection includes the original sunscreen stick and four new variants formulated for specific skin concerns: dryness, pigmentation, acne-prone skin and signs of aging.

According to the brand, the original Sun Care Stick SPF 60+ PA++ offers FDA-certified SPF 60+ protection. The newer variants — Ceramide, Alpha-Melight, Mugwort and Bakuchiol — have undergone independent SPF testing by SGS Taiwan, which verified SPF 50+ performance across the range.

The Ceramide Sun Care Stick SPF 50+ is formulated for dry skin and contains ceramides, triple hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and panthenol. The Alpha-Melight Sun Care Stick SPF 50+ is designed for those concerned about hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, combining brightening ingredients with vitamin E and ceramides.

For acne-prone skin, the Mugwort Sun Care Stick SPF 50+ contains mugwort extract, cica extract and tea tree extract. The Bakuchiol Sun Care Stick SPF 50+, meanwhile, incorporates bakuchiol, a plant-derived ingredient often described as an alternative to retinol.

The collection was developed using Korean-formulated ingredients and is designed for use in warm and humid climates. According to the company, all variants are paraben-free and cruelty-free.

Denice Sy, chief sales and marketing officer of Ever Bilena Cosmetics and founder of Hello Glow, said the collection was created to give consumers more options based on individual skin concerns.

“We wanted every Filipino to be able to find their perfect sunscreen stick — one that works for their specific skin concern, not just a one-size-fits-all solution,” Sy shared.

Hello Glow is a skincare brand under Ever Bilena Cosmetics Inc. Since introducing its original Sun Care Stick in 2023, the company has expanded its sun care offerings with products designed for different skin types and concerns.
