Old-school browning gels have been reinvented for a new generation of sun-bathers with clean, multi-benefit formulations like The Golden Guard by Dune, which offers a modern twist on achieving a sun-kissed glow while prioritizing skin health and nourishment.
The brand's latest launch takes the form of a supremely hydrating, easy-to-blend browning gel sun care product with only vegan, non-toxic and reef-friendly ingredients. A standout inclusion is watermelon seed oil, chosen for its ability to naturally boost the production of melanin in the skin for an even better bronze. Other skin-caring ingredients include antioxidant-packed caffeine, glycerin and tropical Chinese hibiscus flower extract for immediate and long-lasting hydration—up to 72 hours—even after just a single application.
