The Problem

Sunscreen performance depends heavily on the wearer's skin, climate, makeup, sensitivity, and reapplication routine. Shoppers currently rely on scattered reviews and expensive trial and error to discover whether a product causes irritation, feels greasy, leaves a visible cast, pills under makeup, or becomes uncomfortable during prolonged wear.

Potential Solution

Sell curated trial kits containing manufacturer-sealed samples chosen through a short intake covering skin type, sensitivities, complexion, climate, makeup use, and outdoor activity. Each kit includes a structured wear-test protocol so the buyer can compare comfort, appearance, irritation, and reapplication before purchasing a full-size product. Begin with focused kits such as sensitive-skin endurance, oily-skin makeup compatibility, and tattoo-safe daily wear.

Why Now?

The signals show sunscreen selection splitting into increasingly specific wear situations rather than one universal product choice. Premium pricing and highly personal reactions make a lower-cost, guided trial process valuable.

Foundation recommendations for dry skin please
I like the ilia skin tint with spf. It has hyaluronic acid so its a bit more hydrating. Its very flexible and smooth.

Just turned 33 and struggling with routine (severe skin flaking)
I highly recommend the Skin Pharm Sheer tinted SPF face sunscreen. It’s a gorgeous finish, doesn’t burn my eyes and can be worn alone or under makeup
