About this formulation

LAB 03 FZC’s private label chemical SPF 30 & 50 sunscreen is formulated for brands targeting consumers who demand the most cosmetically elegant sun protection available — a sunscreen that disappears completely on application, feels weightless throughout the day, and works seamlessly under makeup. Powered by a carefully selected combination of EU Annex VI-approved chemical UV filters — Methoxyphenyl Triazine (BEMT) — this formula delivers complete, photostable broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection with absolutely zero white cast.

The filter system is engineered for photostability — a critical performance requirement often overlooked in lower-quality chemical sunscreens. BEMT (Tinosorb S) acts as a photostabiliser for the other filters in the blend, preventing degradation under UV exposure and ensuring the product maintains its declared SPF throughout the day.

Beyond UV protection, this is a genuine skin-care product. Dual-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and sodium PCA maintain deep hydration throughout prolonged sun exposure. Niacinamide actively prevents UV-triggered hyperpigmentation — an essential active for the GCC’s diverse consumer base where uneven skin tone and dark spots are among the top skin concerns. Aloe vera and allantoin soothe and recover sun-stressed skin, rounding out a formula that delivers skin-care performance alongside its primary protective function.

The SPF 30 variant is formulated as an ultra-sheer daily-wear product — suitable as a standalone moisturizer-SPF, under foundation, or as a hotel in-room amenity. The SPF 50 variant is optimized for extended outdoor exposure — beach clubs, outdoor sport, and travel — with a slightly more robust film-forming system for improved durability. Both variants are manufactured under ISO 22716 GMP in Sharjah and are EU, UAE, GCC, and SFDA compliant. USFDA-compliant variant available with adjusted filter system. Sample and quote within 24–48 hours.

Key benefits

What's Inside?

UV Filter — Broad Spectrum + Photostabiliser

BEMT (Tinosorb S)

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine The most advanced UV filter in this formulation. BEMT (Tinosorb S) is a next-generation broad-spectrum filter that absorbs both UVB and long-wave UVA — closing the spectral gaps of the other filters in the blend. Critically, it acts as a photostabiliser for Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and other filters, preventing their photodegradation under UV exposure. This is what separates a professionally formulated chemical sunscreen from a basic single-filter product. EU Annex VI approved — not currently USFDA OTC approved (US formulation uses alternate broad-spectrum UVA filter).

Hydration

Hyaluronic Acid (Dual MW)

Sodium Hyaluronate — High & Low Molecular Weight High MW HA forms a moisture-retention film on the skin surface, preventing dehydration under prolonged UV exposure. Low MW HA penetrates deeper skin layers for sustained hydration throughout the day. A premium skin-care active that elevates the formula beyond basic sun protection — particularly important for differentiating a retail or hospitality-branded product where skin-care performance drives repurchase.

Brightening Active

Niacinamide

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Inhibits melanosome transfer to prevent UV-triggered hyperpigmentation and dark spots — an essential active for the GCC and South Asian consumer market where uneven skin tone is a primary concern. Strengthens the skin barrier and reduces the appearance of pores. In a daily-wear SPF formula, niacinamide delivers cumulative brightening and barrier-improvement benefits that users notice over weeks of use, driving loyalty and repeat purchase.

Soothing & After-Sun

Aloe Vera

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Provides a cooling, soothing sensation on application that counterbalances the potential skin-warming effect of chemical UV filters. Reduces UV-induced inflammation and redness. Aloe vera's strong "natural" brand recognition also provides a reassuring clean ingredient signal on the INCI list — important for consumers who associate chemical sunscreens with irritation and benefit from seeing familiar soothing botanicals in the formula

Ideal for your sector

Hotels & Resorts

Premium in-room amenity SPF The lightweight, invisible finish makes this the most practical in-room amenity sunscreen — guests will actually use it daily rather than leaving it in the bathroom. Positioned as a daily facial SPF moisturizer in a 50ml pump bottle, it elevates the amenity experience and creates brand familiarity that drives retail repurchase.

Spa & Wellness Centers

Facial SPF in treatment menu & retail An essential retail product alongside facial treatments — particularly anti-aging, brightening, and laser-adjacent services where daily SPF is a clinical recommendation. The lightweight formula doubles as a finishing moisturizer, making it easy to position as the final step of any facial treatment protocol and a natural retail add-on purchase.

Gyms & Fitness Clubs

Sport & beach SPF 50 concession The zero white cast SPF 50 is the preferred format for darker skin tone consumers — a significant portion of UAE beach club clientele — who avoid mineral sunscreens due to visible residue. Chemical SPF 50 in a branded pump bottle at your sunbed concession delivers a genuinely premium, wearable protection product your guests will choose over pharmacy alternatives.

Clinics & Medical Centers

Post-procedure daily SPF The most prescribed product category in aesthetic medicine. A clinic-branded chemical SPF 50 with niacinamide, allantoin, and PDRN stem cell is the essential daily recommendation after laser, peel, or injectable treatments. The invisible finish is critical for compliance — patients are far more likely to use an SPF they cannot see or feel under their makeup.

Retail Brands

Daily SPF moisturiser & tinted range The chemical SPF 30 variant is the ideal base for a daily SPF moisturiser — worn alone or under makeup. The zero white cast and ultra-light finish make it the most commercially appealing everyday SPF format for retail. Adding niacinamide and vitamin C positions it as a brightening SPF serum — one of the highest-growth segments in GCC skincare retail.

Frequently asked Questions

What is the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreen — and which should I choose?

Chemical sunscreens absorb UV radiation and convert it to heat through a chemical reaction. Mineral sunscreens physically reflect and scatter UV rays using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide particles. For brand positioning: chemical SPF is the choice when cosmetic elegance is the priority — it is completely invisible, works under makeup, and is preferred by the majority of consumers for daily wear. Mineral SPF is the choice when reef-safe credentials, clean beauty positioning, suitability for children, or sensitive skin claims are the priority. Many successful sun care ranges include both. We can guide you on the right choice for your target market, sector, and brand positioning.

Why does the chemical SPF formula use BEMT — what makes it better than simpler formulas?

Most basic chemical sunscreens use only one or two UV filters — typically Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate for UVB and a simple UVA filter. The problem is that Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate degrades under UV exposure (it is photounstable when used alone), meaning the SPF level decreases during the day. BEMT (Tinosorb S) solves this — it is a broad-spectrum next-generation filter that also acts as a photostabiliser for the other filters in the blend. Combined with Octocrylene (which additionally photostabilises Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate), the result is a formula whose SPF level is maintained throughout the day in real-world wear conditions. This is a significant quality differentiator — particularly important for brands positioning in premium hotel, clinic, and retail channels where product performance reputation matters.

Is this formula suitable for the US market?

BEMT (Tinosorb S) and Homosalate at concentrations above 9% are not currently approved under the USFDA OTC sunscreen monograph — which applies to all sunscreens sold with SPF claims in the USA. For US-bound products, we formulate a separate US-compliant variant using USFDA OTC-approved UV filters only. The skin-care active base (hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, aloe vera, etc.) remains the same — only the UV filter system is adjusted. Please advise our R&D team of your target market during the quotation process so the correct formulation pathway is followed from the start.

Does this sunscreen really have zero white cast?

Yes — because this is a purely chemical filter formula, there are no mineral particles (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) to create a white cast. The formula is completely clear and transparent on application across all skin tones, including very dark complexions. This is the primary reason many consumers — and particularly GCC consumers with medium to deep skin tones — prefer chemical over mineral sunscreens for daily use. The zero white cast also makes it ideal as a base under tinted products and foundation.
