Rice Extract Blend

Blend of red, white, and black rice extracts. This specific material blend has been studied to support skin against signs of photodamage often caused by sources such as free radicals, pollution, and blue light (HEV)\

Watermelon Seed Oil

Watermelon seed oil is rich in antioxidants that help hydrate and soothe the skin. The oil is packed full of vitamins, such as A, E, and B, that work together to prevent oxidative stress.

Glycerin + Hydration Boosting Blend

Glycerin is known as an NMF - natural moisturizing factor, meaning it is naturally found in skin. Glycerin helps to boost + maintain skins moisture levels. Sugar Derived Hydration Boosting blend works in synergy with the glycerin to increase the hydration benefits of glycerin to help minimize dehydration, reduce TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and maximize the immediate & long term skin hydration benefits.

Chemical SPF Filters: Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 7%, Octisalate 5%

Combination of 3 chemical (aka organic) UV filters to provide broad spectrum UVA + UVB protection. The chemical filters are what allow Watermelon Glow Dew Shield to stay crystal clear + undetectable while working within the formula to provide SPF 30 and PA+++ sun protection! Avobenzone (AKA Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) is widely accepted to be one of the best, traditional UV Filters to shield against / provide protection against UVA rays. Octisalate (AKA Ethylhexyl Salicylate or Octyl Salicylate) helps to provide protection against UVB rays. Also helps to stabilize other UV filters in the formula! Formulated WITHOUT UV filters such as octinoxate, octocrylene, or oxybenzone – Sephora Planet Aware qualifies these specific filters (+ other filters that are not as commonly used) as a concern for suspected coral toxicity / coral bleaching. Dew Shield does NOT contain these UV filters, and is Planet Aware certified.

Does this work for all skin tones?

Watermelon Glow Dew Shield is a chemical sunscreen with a lightweight feel that leaves no white cast, for compatibility on a wide range of skin types and tones!

How do I use this in my routine?

Watermelon Glow Dew Shield should be applied daily (no matter the weather!) as the last step of your skincare routine after moisturizer. Watermelon Glow Dew Shield is formulated to be ultra-nourishing with a burst of hydration, so it can also work as your morning moisturizer if desired. Be sure to reapply every 2 hours!

What is optimal storage for my SPF?

We recommend storing Watermelon Glow Dew Shield in a dry place, and away from prolonged direct sunlight!

Is the sunscreen broad spectrum?

Yes! Watermelon Glow Dew Shield has been tested to provide broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

Is this a Korean Sunscreen?

Watermelon Glow Dew Shield is produced in the US, inspired by Korean suncare! Korean sunscreens feature lightweight textures, undetectable protection, and are deeply hydrating - and we made sure Watermelon Glow Dew Shield ticks all of these boxes, and more!

Is this a chemical or mineral sunscreen?

Our Watermelon Glow Dew Shield formula contains chemical sunscreen filters to ensure a weightless, hydrating texture and seamless reapplication with no white cast or piling! The chemical filters we selected were chosen specifically to reduce the environmental impact of the formula, and with added soothing and hydrating ingredients to make the formula comfortable on sensitive or irritated skin.

What sunscreen filters are used in this formula?

Watermelon Glow Dew Shield contains chemical filters Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 7%, and Octisalate 5% for optimal sun protection without a white cast! The UV filters used are in alignment with Clean at Sephora and Sephora Planet Aware, formulated without UV filters such as octinoxate, octocrylene, or oxybenzone.

What is the PPD value/PA rating of this formula?

Watermelon Glow Dew Shield is SPF 30, rated PA+++ and offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection! SPF ratings represent the level of UVB protection in a formula, whereas a PA rating represents the level of UVA protection. While all sunscreens sold in the US must undergo SPF and critical wavelength testing, it is not required to test for UVA protection (ISO 24442). This is why you don’t always see PA ratings on every SPF product! Opting to use a product with a PA rating (like Dew Shield!) allows you to feel confident your sunscreen is providing UVA protection at the PA level mentioned!

Is this SPF formula reef-safe?

While there is no one, shared definition of reef-safe domestically or globally, we have chosen to formulate without Octinoxate, Octocrylene and Oxybenzone sunscreen actives due to their environmental impact in accordance with Sephora Planet Aware.

Perfect spf for summer

Glow Recipe gifted me the new watermelon glow spf and so far I've been loving it. It smells like watermelon and not strong spf scent. There's no white cast at all and absorbs into the skin nicely without it looking greasy. Definitely a summer staple

Became a staple

Complimentary from glowrecipe for an honest review! Okay so this sunscreen has become a staple for my morning routine! And it will be replacing my Tula sunscreen! I didn’t think I could find a better product that my skin would love and I did! I have acne prone and rosacea! This sunscreen does not make my skin red or break me out! Leaves it glowy and hydrated!
