Unlike the majority of sun protection products that are formulated to be as discreet and as sheer as possible, Sunshine & Glitter is a Miami-based brand that created a bold option for those who want to be seen in the sun.

The brand's Seastar Sparkle SPF 50+ Party Cake with Rainbow Glitter is a sparkling topical product that is nourishing, antioxidant-rich and water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. The unconventional sun protection product is loaded with non-irritating rainbow glitter and a party cake-inspired fragrance. As well as appealing to those who love shimmering personal care products, the USA-made sunscreen is non-metallic, free from parabens and oxybenzone, and is not tested on animals.

The Seastar Sparkle SPF 50+ is also offered in Very Berry and Mango Tango varieties with different glitter accents.
