Daily UV exposure is the leading cause of pigmentation, premature ageing and visible skin damage. Essense Skin Protect SPF 50 helps protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays while supporting a healthy, protected complexion every day.

Advanced broad-spectrum UV filters provide high-performance sun protection against both ageing UVA rays and burning UVB rays, while Rooibos helps soothe the skin and provide antioxidant support against environmental stressors. Together, they help reduce the visible effects of sun exposure and support long-term skin health.

The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula is fragrance free, dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It leaves an invisible, non-greasy finish that wears comfortably under make-up and throughout the day.

Benefits
  • Broad-spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays
  • Lightweight, non-greasy finish that absorbs in seconds
  • Fragrance free and gentle for sensitive skin
  • Maintains hydrated, comfortable skin all day with Rooibos and jojoba.
  • Dermatologically tested for long-term daily use
Key Ingredients
  • Advanced broad-spectrum UV filters - next-generation protection that shields skin from both UVA and UVB rays. These modern filters are highly photostable, remaining effective longer when exposed to sunlight without degrading easily. Their lightweight design allows for a non-greasy formulation that feels comfortable even on sensitive skin, while helping reduce visible signs of sun-induced ageing such as fine lines, pigmentation and loss of firmness.
  • Rooibos - rich in antioxidants that help protect against environmental stress, support skin resilience and promote a calm, balanced complexion.
  • Jojoba oil - a skin-conditioning botanical oil, helps nourish and soften the skin while supporting moisture balance and maintaining a smooth, healthy-looking complexion.

Use: Daily, reapply every 2 hours during prolonged sun exposure, and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this under make-up?
Yes. The lightweight formula absorbs in seconds and sits comfortably under make-up without pilling or leaving a greasy finish.
Do I need suscreen on overcast days?
Yes. Up to 80% of UV rays penetrate cloud cover, so daily application protects your skin year-round, even in winter.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The fragrance free formula is dermatologically tested and gentle enough for reactive skin, with Rooibos to soothe sensitivity.
How often should I reapply?
Reapply every two hours when outdoors for extended periods and immediately after swimming or sweating. For indoor days, morning application is sufficient.
Can I use this with retinol?
Yes. Apply SPF 50 every morning after your moisturiser to protect skin while using retinol treatments at night.
Do I need SPF every day?
Yes. UV exposure contributes to premature ageing, pigmentation and cumulative skin damage. Daily broad-spectrum protection should form part of your morning routine.
