PAPATUI, the men's face care brand founded by Dwayne The Rock Johnson, has launched a Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30. This lightweight mineral formula is free from chemical UV filters and is offered at an accessible price point.
PAPATUI's Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 was developed over three years with dermatologists and male skin experts, who tested more than 40 SPF filter combinations and 200 prototypes before arriving at a formulation designed to absorb quickly, avoid greasiness, and apply easily to the face, scalp, bald heads, and areas with facial hair.
Men are twice as likely as women to develop skin cancer, yet far less likely to wear sunscreen regularly, with only 12% of men using sunscreen and over 40% never applying it to their face. The challenge has traditionally been that many sunscreens feel heavy, smell medicinal, leave a white cast, or require a separate step in a routine that some members of this demographic struggle to establish consistently.
