The sun care category continues to be driven by multifunctional products that offer additional benefits of moisturization. Marketers such as La Roche-Posay invest in studies to highlight the benefits of adding antioxidants to suncreens, that are claimed to be beneficial in controlling melasma outbreaks.

 
New delivery formats, such as mousses, powders, and setting mists are innovations in the category, while mineral-based products are on the rise as marketers look to develop chemical-free alternatives to the classic sun care products. Some of these products are among the sun care digital winners in the sunscreen category, in January 2018, according to Kline’s Amalgam Beauty Digital Tracker a one-of-a-kind online interactive tool that tracks all the best-performing companies, brands and items across leading online beauty retailers.
