# Brightening Prebiotic Sunscreens Herbivore's Star Seed Sheer Glow Mineral Sunscreen is Skin-Caring By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2024-03-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-mineral-sunscreen References: [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4szn2UxVMP/) & [herbivorebotanicals](https://www.herbivorebotanicals.com/products/star-seed)  Incorporating sunscreen into a daily skincare routine is fundamental for protecting skin from harmful UV rays and maintaining its health and youthful appearance, and Herbivore Botanicals' Star Seed Sheer Glow Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is a new option. This daily mineral sunscreen doubles as a brightening moisturizer thanks to the pairing of non-nano zinc oxide and Vitamin C, plus other skin-caring ingredients. This formula for all skin tones also features glycerin for all-day hydration, prebiotics to support the skin microbiome and VitaGlow D, which the brand describes as "a plant-based blend that mimics the antioxidant benefits of Vitamin D." This protective, brightening and moisturizing sun protection formula by Herbivore Botanicals also shares the nourishing properties of seed oils like hemp, chia and raspberry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.1/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 22% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Brightening Mineral Sunscreens:** Opportunity to combine non-nano zinc oxide with Vitamin C for enhanced skin benefits in daily sun care products. - **Prebiotic Skincare Solutions:** Incorporating prebiotics into skincare formulations to promote healthier skin microbiome and improve product efficacy. - **Plant-based Antioxidant Blends:** Utilizing plant-based blends that mimic the benefits of traditional antioxidants like Vitamin D for enhanced skincare formulations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Innovations in mineral sunscreen formulations with added skin-caring ingredients creating new opportunities in the beauty and personal care industry. - **Natural Skincare:** Exploring the use of seed oils, prebiotics, and plant-based antioxidants in skincare products to meet the rising demand for natural and effective solutions. - **Cosmeceuticals:** Potential for developing cosmeceutical products that combine skincare benefits with sun protection, catering to consumers seeking multipurpose solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Skincare-Infused Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinfields-sunglow-spf.md) - [Microbiome-Friendly Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-serum-spf.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Tinted Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-tinted-mineral-sunscreen.md) - [Vegan Collagen Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mineral-priming-lotion.md) - [Serum-Like Tinted SPFs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/defend-yourself-facial-sunscreen.md) - [Glow-Enhancing Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radiant-sunscreen.md) - [SPF-Primer Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimodal-sheer-mineral-sunscreen.md) - [Reef-Safe Seaweed Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/badger.md) - [Brightening Antioxidant Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multivitamin-clear-coat-broad-spectrum.md)
