Sunscreen Development
Our dedicated Suncare Development team have 40+ years combined experience. We are experts at creating sophisticated sun protection and sunless tanning formulations, partnering beauty brands to deliver light, luxurious textures that achieve consumer buy-in both in terms of efficacy and sensorial performance.
When most people think about sunscreen, they picture hot summer days, sandy beaches, and poolside loungers. While these moments remain important in the sun care category, they only represent a fraction of the real SPF opportunity. For beauty and personal care brands, the path to growth lies in developing sunscreen products that meet consumers’ year-round needs - across every season, activity, and lifestyle.
At THG Labs, we’re seeing growing consumer awareness of the importance of daily UV protection, combined with demand for formats that fit seamlessly into real life. This shift creates significant opportunities for brands to innovate beyond the traditional summer sun lotion.
"Our Suncare Formulation team work closely with our expert in-house Regulatory Team who provide guidance on the development, testing and manufacturing processes required to launch a compliant formulation. This enables us to tailor formulations to the requirements of specific markets around the globe."
