Suncare & SPF

Sunscreen is one of the best beauty products you can use—not only for cosmetic reasons, but for overall health. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (or UV) radiation is a major risk factor for skin cancer. But even a small amount of exposure can cause lasting damage, like wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

Japanese women have long understood that sun protection is an essential part of maintaining healthy-looking skin, shielding delicate complexions from damage both immediately and over time. From parasols to folding fans to the world’s first sunscreen, the tradition of Japanese suncare is rich and renowned. Japanese sunscreens are often considered some of the best because they’re lightweight, fast-absorbing, easily layer under makeup, and don’t leave a white cast, making them flattering on all skin tones. In honor of the long history of Japanese sunscreen innovation, scientists at the Tatcha Institute have remastered the skincare mainstay for modern life.

Our two Japanese SPFs let you find the ideal sun protection for you, depending on what benefits you want to see from your luxury suncare. The Silk Sunscreen, our hydrating mineral sunscreen, keeps your skin looking and feeling healthy for years by cocooning your skin from UVA and UVB rays, pollution, and blue light. For the base of this sunscreen we turned to silk, a timeless ingredient used in beauty rituals for nearly two thousand years. Made with zinc oxide for physical sun protection, this lightweight SPF 50 also gives you a luminous glow with humectants like hyaluronic acid and camellia leaf extract that bind water. If you want more matte coverage, our Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen combines a mineral block with a chemical filter for optimum sun protection. This creamy formula paves over pores with SPF 35 protection and PA+++, making it the ideal choice for oily skin, and it layers beautifully under makeup.

Whether you prefer mineral or chemical SPF protection, our suncare products impart a beautiful glow, alone or with makeup. Protect your skin with Tatcha luxury suncare formulas.
