Kosas’ new DreamBeam SPF 40 sunscreen is no exception, a skincare-first formula with 21.7% non-nano zinc oxide that’s really fun to apply.

The silky mineral sunscreen is infused with plumping and smoothing ceramides and peptides, soothing allantoin, and moisture-locking hyaluronic acid to brighten and strengthen the skin’s barrier. As a result, it is also suitable for sensitive skin types and is formulated without fragrances, silicones, mineral oils, phthalates, sulfates and parabens. It is also hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Sunscreen is very important now that the full-scale outdoor season has arrived.
