SPF Is Non-Negotiable — These Are the Sunscreens We Actually Love

Summer has officially arrived, bringing stronger sun, warmer days, and a renewed commitment to skin that feels protected and cared for. SPF is essential year-round, but this time of year, it becomes a non-negotiable part of the routine.

At Añuli, we’re big believers in intentional layering, and when paired with sunscreen, our Daily Supplement Serum helps boost your skin’s defense. Thanks to its oil-based formulation and potent blend of antioxidants, including Coenzyme Q10, it enhances SPF performance by reinforcing the skin’s barrier and helping to neutralize free radicals. In short, your sunscreen works more effectively when applied over the right base.

Below, we’re sharing a few of our founders’ favorite sunscreens—each one wears beautifully on most skin types and tones and layers seamlessly over skincare. These are the SPFs we reach for again and again:

The Weightless One That Feels Like Nothing

Beauty of Joseon – Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics
SPF 50

This SPF has a natural, skin-like finish that leaves skin dewy without the shine. It absorbs quickly, feels refreshing on application, and leaves no white cast behind. Lightweight, breathable, and dependable.

The Everyday Mineral That Blends Beautifully

Good Weather Skin – The One Daily Sun Cream
SPF 30

This one hydrates and leaves skin visibly bouncier. Formulated with ingredients like squalane and sea buckthorn, both of which are found in our Daily Supplement Serum, it delivers added nourishment. A perfect everyday SPF you’ll actually want to apply.

Every Derm’s Favorite

EltaMD – UV Clear Broad-Spectrum
SPF 46

Ask any esthetician or dermatologist and chances are they’ll mention this one. Loved for its gentle, creamy texture and acne-safe formula, it plays well under makeup and soothes sensitive skin with ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and lactic acid.

Serum-Like Finish

Kiehl’s – Better Screen UV Serum
SPF 50

No white cast. No pilling. Just a glowy, not-greasy finish that melts into the skin. Light and fluid, it’s ideal under makeup but still radiant on bare skin days.

On-the-Go Favorite

Shiseido – Clear Sunscreen Stick
SPF 50

This one always lives in our bag. A portable SPF with an invisible, hydrating finish that works over or under makeup, and doesn’t leave any residue behind. Ideal for reapplication throughout the day, especially when you’re on the move.

Whether you’re headed to brunch, the beach, or just your inbox—apply (and reapply!) your SPF, and don’t forget your antioxidant layer underneath. Your future skin will thank you.
