Official Nominees for Sunscreen Brand of the Year
Brilliant Skin Essentials
Brilliant Skin Essentials continues to set the standard in sun care with its Sunscreen Gel-Cream SPF 30, a multitasking formula designed to shield, hydrate, and brighten the skin. Offering 97% sun protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays, this lightweight sunscreen helps preserve skin health while delivering a radiant, glass-like glow. What makes this sunscreen stand out is its Niacinamide-infused formula, which works to lock in moisture, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of dark spots. Enriched with whitening actives, it actively brightens and evens out the complexion, making it a go-to choice for those seeking both protection and skin enhancement.
Further elevating its sun care line, the brand introduces the Brilliant SunProfessional Sunscreen with Orgasol Caresse SPF 50 PA++++, formulated with Orgasol Caresse technology from France. This advanced innovation not only offers superior UV protection but also helps control excess oil, refine pores, and provide a lightweight, matte finish. Its water-resistant formulation makes it perfect for all-day wear, even in humid conditions.
As last year’s VP Choice Awards winner, Brilliant Skin Essentials remains a strong contender for the title.
