Summer's hottest facial SPF suncreams and products, ranked
Whether you're heading on a city break, beach holiday, or just navigating day-to-day life, sun protection is a non-negotiable, and the right products make it easier to protect and glow with skincare that works with your routine, not against it. Research from Olay shows that one in 10 Brits admit to never wearing SPF on their face, so we tried and tested some of summer's hottest new products for face and lips, to see which ones would make it into our holiday make-up bag. Here's our verdict. Mavala Switzerland Tinted lip balm (cherry) Price £7.99, from John Lewis I'm a sucker for a tinted lip balm and Mavala's cherry tint is the perfect combination of colour and SPF protection. As someone who has suffered with dry lips for several years, I was at first sceptical on how well this lip balm would match up to my trusty Vaseline. However, I was pleasantly surprised how effortlessly it glides on, leaving my lips hydrated, soft and not mega greasy. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mavala UK (@mavalauk) The SPF15 protection is a welcome bonus too, as the balm is infused with shea butter and aloe vera, along with apricot extract, provitamin A and vitamin E. The subtle tint of cherry red was the perfect colour for lips and was reminiscent of Maybelline's popular Baby Lips formula from around a decade ago. Mavala's cherry lip balm will be a staple in my beauty bag for the summer months and beyond. Score – 5/5 Review by Clare Butler Ocean Freedom Mineral Sunscreen and Ocean Clay Price: £8 and £13, from Bling20 Surf Clay (Image: Surf Clay) This brilliant pairing of a mineral sunscreen SPF50+ lotion sunscreen and its sister Surf Clay SPF50+ are great for active days out or trips with kids. The clay stays on through hot days and plenty of water (we tried it out on a family holiday, in and out of the pool, and it didn't budge). The kids loved that they were fragrance-free (no weird smell!), and best of all they come in an array of fun colours including pink, blue and white, as well as light tan and a clear format - as we discovered they can even be mixed together to create gorgeous new shades of lilac. I liked it because as a mineral sunscreen, it sits on the skin's surface and is less pore-clogging, making it more suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Rating: 5/5 Reviewed by Jade Wright Dermalogica biolumin-c heat aging protector spf50 travel size Price: £24 Bottle size: 15ml, from Amazon This moisturiser with SPF comes in a nice 15ml bottle, ideal for travel whether you're cramming everything into a weekend bag or worried about your suitcase weight. I found this to be quite a thick formula but it soaked into my skin well and very quickly with little effort. Dermalogica (Image: Newsquest) The smell is quite summery and I think SPF50 is high for what I've seen in other products so that's a bonus. The only downside to this moisturiser is that I had to use a bit more than I would of my usual product so that's something to bear in mind. Review: Katie Collier Score: 4/5 Elemental Herbology SPF 50 Moisturiser (Image: Newsquest) Price - £45, from Elemental It's a cliché for a reason but sometimes you really do get what you pay for. As a recent skincare convert, I'm increasingly critical of the products I buy. I want them to do more for less ( like us all!). I love that Element Herbology have given us an effective SPF as well as a moisturiser packed with Provitamin B5 and Vitamin E. It feels very light on the skin, rubs in very quickly and doesn't leave any white residue. With long term wear, I have actually found myself using less face make up. I was content with how hydrated and glowing my skin's felt on it's own. I can't fault the formula itself but the price tag is steep when you only get 50ml. After a recommend 2-3 pumps to cover my face, neck and hands in the morning as well as a top ups throughout the day, I would have to remortgage a house I don't have to keep up with my obsession. Review: Rebecca Carey Score – 4/5 Kalme Day Defence SPF 40 Rebecca Carey (Image: Newsquest) Price - £26.65, from Amazon I would argue that Kalme's Day Defence is a slightly more budget friendly alternative for daily use. It's by no means cheap but it is a lightweight moisturiser that rubs in well and avoids that dreaded greasy feeling. It's not quite as luxurious to apply as the Elemental Herbology but it's equally long lasting and is in a convenient travel size so you can top on the go. There is a slight but subtle smell to the formula. It isn't unpleasant or off putting but there's something a little chemical too it that means it doesn't feel or go unnoticed. However, if you have sensitive skin, I think you could absolutely get behind this brand. It has a patented anti-redness extract that has been proven to reduce redness by up to 70% in clinical trials. Overall, it's very good value for money with its 24 hour moisture formula, I can see myself adding it to my cart again. Review by Rebecca Carey Score - 3.5/5 Recommended reading:

I dropped out of university – my business turns over £6m a year
I dropped out of university – my business turns over £6m a year 'I make more in one hour on TikTok Shop than during a day in my physical store' Laura Mallows started off as a history student but now she is the founder of a multi-million-pound company (Image: Matthew Horwood ) Before her skincare brand became a TikTok sensation and hit the shelves of Boots and Superdrug Laura Mallows was just a girl from Cowbridge trying to figure out what to do with her life. "I was a fashion girly – I have done so many pivots in my life," Laura laughs, reflecting on her unconventional path. It is a winding journey that took her from a university dropout to founder of Mallows Beauty – one of the UK's fastest-growing self-care brands. If you've spent any time scrolling TikTok in the past couple of years chances are you've come across Mallows Beauty. Now turning over millions Mallows is instantly recognisable with its playful packaging, intriguing product names, and unapologetic commitment to self-love with its various body products. Yet behind the bright aesthetic is a story far from the glitz and glamour of a thriving entrepreneur but of self-doubt and starting over more than once. The Welsh entrepreneur has seen rapid expansion with her brand which has gone from her kitchen table to the shelves of Boots (Image: Mallows Beauty ) Speaking to WalesOnline from her bubble-gum pink office Laura claims she very nearly went down a different route. "When I was in school I was really good at history," she recalls. "My school encouraged me to go to Oxbridge to do it but I actually ended up picking Southampton because the nightlife was better." Article continues below However Laura quickly came to the realisation that this wasn't what she wanted to do with her life. "Three months into my history degree I was like: 'I don't like this'. I was falling asleep in my lectures. "There was a boy in my class and I told him: 'I'm going to have to copy your notes'. He just said: 'You're not listening in your lectures – you're snoring. This is bad – you need to stop.' "After that I just decided to drop out. I rang my mum and dad and was like: 'I'm not enjoying it.' They asked me what I wanted to do and I said: 'Fashion. I love fashion.'" Laura then switched to a fashion design degree and finally felt like she had found her place. After university she went on to land a job in London's Dune branch buying handbags and accessories. During this time, though, Laura was battling some internal demons. "I have always struggled with my body image," Laura admits. "From a young age I always wanted to be perfect. I struggled with eating disorders, yo-yo'ed in weight and was always trying to fix myself." Not long after her big city move she developed a case of acne, which only served to enhance her self-doubt. Read the biggest stories in Wales first by signing up to our daily newsletter here . "Every single product that I bought didn't work and every single counter I went to sold this dream," Laura says. "I just kept looking to these models and campaigns and thinking: 'Why don't I look like them? Why is my skin so bad? Why do I have such big pores?' I have suffered with anxiety for most of my life and had no idea why I felt the way I felt or what it even was." Her mental health hit a breaking point prompting Laura to have a complete breakdown. "It was really difficult but I came to realise that that wasn't real. That the girls in the pictures didn't actually look like that – they were airbrushed and filtered." The realisation sparked a question: what if there was a brand that embraced perfect imperfections? Laura says: "I started to think about how cool would it be if there was a brand that was showing spots and showing what real skin looked like – cellulite and stretch marks – so that people could look at their own stretch marks and breathe a sigh of relief." Laura wanted to make a brand everyone could see themselves in This thought stuck with her when she decided to move back to Wales. Laura briefly took on a job as a skincare buyer in Port Talbot. This lasted for just 20 days before she decided to quit with the dream of a genuine self-loving product still very much at the forefront of her mind. "There were so many influencers at the time doing that body-positive self-love thing but there was no brand doing it," she says. "That's when I decided I'd be the one to start it." Armed with little more than a homemade scrub recipe and her parents' credit card she started Mallows Beauty at her kitchen table in her former Llantrisant home. "Very naively might I add," she admits. In August 2020 she released her first product, a pineapple mask, and quickly orders started rolling in from big names like Skinny Dip and Harrods. Mallows can now be found across major retailers across the UK (Image: Mallows Beauty ) As the brand expanded Laura introduced a wider range of products including body butter, scrubs, and shaving butters sold both through her Cardiff flagship store and online via TikTok. A major turning point came in 2023 when Mallows Beauty won Superdrug's Marketplace of the Year award. "I remember it was at the top of the Gherkin. Around that time our TikTok Shop just boomed. At first it was steady but when affiliates really started working, and with the ads function, everything just exploded." Sales leapt from £50,000 a month to around £300,000. "Suddenly we were in 700 Superdrug stores. It just felt like we were going viral, viral, viral non-stop. It felt like magic. That was kind of my year I suppose." Mallows gained a cult following since going viral on TikTok with its brightly-packaged pink products (Image: Mallows Beauty ) When she realised she was making more in one hour on TikTok Shop than in a full day at her Cardiff store she shifted her entire strategy and closed the physical location to focus solely on her digital audience. It was a risk but it paid off. Five years later, at 33 years old, Laura has built a multi-million-pound brand with a fiercely loyal following. On Black Friday in 2024 alone she made £450,000. In the past two years Mallows Beauty has turned over about £6m (including VAT) and is now stocked at major retailers like Boots and Superdrug with a launch set for Morrisons in two weeks time. Online, though, remains a boom trade. "It has connected me with people from all over the UK and I'm expanding," says Laura. "I'm so lucky to have built such a supportive community online." To meet soaring demand the company initially employed 22 people but Laura has since streamlined the workforce to 15. "It was a lot to manage and there was crossover in roles," she explains. "Now it feels right. We're smaller, tighter – a real family. Everyone here cares about the brand. At some point they've all struggled with body image or mental health. They believe in me and the journey, which is beautiful." That shared passion has helped the team develop and launch a wide range of successful products – all rooted in Laura's personal experiences and instincts. "I just do what feels right to me," she says. "For example I wanted to make our pineapple facemasks because I wanted my skin to be glowing to help my blemishes and my scarring at the time. I was obsessed with pineapple enzymes – vitamin C, vitamin A." The Cardiff-based beauty brand has become well known for its quirky packaging and eclectic fragrances (Image: Mallows Beauty ) Her curiosity extended beyond the UK market too. "I saw shaving butters trending in the US and I thought: 'That's a really cool product – can I make it?' The US made them brightly coloured and smell incredible so it really aligned with our brand. So we made them but when I was using it I was using other branded razors so then I thought: 'We need our own.'" The result? A sell-out product. "I think we sold a razor every minute until we sold out of 10,000 units. It was nuts," says Laura. Today the brand has evolved to include everything from hair removal products to accessories like their increasingly popular makeup bags. And it's not just Laura leading the change – Mallows' customers have become co-creators in the brand's development. "Our shave butters are now customer-led," Laura says. "We ask our followers what fragrance they'd like to have next – what sort of product that they would like to see. This year everyone was obsessed with vanilla and they loved ice cream so things like ice cream flavours and banana splits became a priority." Some of the most successful ideas have come from Mallows' community. "Pool Side did incredibly well... I never expected it to do as well as it did. Same with banana, I didn't really think much of it but now I have all banana-fragranced products in my bathroom. We make sure to ask on our Tiktok Lives and make sure we take notes." The brand has taught Laura a lot about 'self-love' and body positivity, which she hopes to share with customers (Image: Mallows Beauty ) Social media, especially TikTok, has been instrumental in building that connection – not just for marketing but for cultivating a brand that feels real. "TikTok and Mallows go hand in hand – it kind of feels like if there wasn't a TikTok there wouldn't be a Mallows. "The massive spikes of success on TikTok come from showing the ins and outs of running the business – the good days and the bad days," she says. The tough days are all a part of the journey, which is what Laura wishes she could tell her younger self. "I'd love to go back and hold my own hand or give myself a hug. Tell myself that it's going to be okay. That I should enjoy the good moments more. "Managing a team, worrying about profits, keeping the lights on... I was always so terrified. I don't think I fully enjoyed the magical moments. That's the advice I'd give myself now: enjoy the journey a bit more. Really soak in the highs." In light of this Laura has clear advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. "If I was an entrepreneur starting out I would be just storytelling as transparently as I can. I saw an amazing new brand the other day and they were talking about their launch, visiting suppliers, how they've held events and no-one has turned up... I think that's the beauty of social media – it's that honest transparency that everyone loves to see and relate to. "It's hard to be that open – it's nerve-wracking. Especially as your brand grows you want people to believe you're doing great. But the community-building is so important – you'll find even in the bad days your fanbase will stick by you. Everyone really pulls together." Mallows is a testament to that having recently ticked off another major milestone with the brand's products now set for supermarket shelves. "Morrisons is a massive thing for me – I said that at the end of this year I wanted to see our product in a supermarket so it's surreal," says Laura. Article continues below From viral scrubs to supermarket aisles Mallows continues to grow not just as a brand but as a movement grounded in authenticity, self-love, and a whole lot of pineapple.
