Ultra-Light Oil-Free Sunscreens

Shiseido Launches a New and Improved Urban Environment Formula

— June 15, 2022 — Marketing
In June 2022, scientifically enhanced beauty brand Shiseido launched a new version of its ultra-light, oil-free sunscreen. The Suncare Urban Environment Oil-Free SPF 42 promises to protect one's skin against harmful rays while also infusing it with some nutrient-rich ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C. The new version of the oil-free sunscreen contains "the world's first Sun Dual Care™ technology." This beauty innovation allows the cream to harness "beauty from the sun" through Spirulina Energy Essence while ensuring total environmental protection with SuperVeil-UV 360™. This means that in addition to shielding against UVA and UVB rays, the formulation also prevents further damage from free radicals and air pollution. This can go a long way in urban environments—which Shiseido playfully hints at in the branding of its product. The oil-free sunscreen has a coral-safe presence and is free of harmful ingredients.
