Garnier's unique Ambre Solaire UV Water SPF 20 with Aloe Vera takes the form of a bi-phase sun protection product that involves an oil phase and a water phase, which come together to filter out harmful rays, provide protection, as well as a light and refreshing mist. The non-comedogenic, fast-absorbing formula is water-resistant and enriched with aloe vera gel to [intensely hydrate the skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protected-and-hydrated) for up to eight hours. Due to the unique format of the product, Garnier notes that "the combination of the bi-phase formula and the spray pump means each spray contains one million drops." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bi-phase Sun Protection:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop bi-phase sun protection products that combine oil and water phases to offer lightweight and refreshing mist with effective UV filtering. - **Transparent Sun Protection:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create lightweight and transparent sun protection solutions that provide medium protection and refreshment. - **Hydrating Sunscreens:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the development of sunscreens enriched with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera gel to provide intense hydration for extended periods of time. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cosmetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative sun protection products in the cosmetics industry that offer unique formulations and benefits like bi-phase solutions and lightweight textures. - **Skincare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand the skincare industry by developing transparent and hydrating sunscreens that effectively protect while providing nourishment to the skin. - **Personal Care:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize the personal care industry with the creation of water-resistant and fast-absorbing sun protection sprays that keep the skin hydrated for long hours. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sprayable Sunscreen Formulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-protector.md) - [Hydrating Sunscreen Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydration-water-face-mist.md) - [Eco Mineral Sun Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheer-mist-sun-spray.md) - [Transparent Water-Gel Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-shield-spf-50.md) - [Lightweight Fluid Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultralight-face-fluid-spf.md) - [Lightweight SPF Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrating-serum-lotion.md) - [Hydrating Invisible SPF Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spf50-cabanaclear-water-gel-serum.md) - [Makeup-Friendly SPF Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spf-reapplication-mist.md) - [Non-Sticky Face Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biotherm-sun-care-face-spf50.md)
