In 2016, Bec Jefferd and Ava Matthews had a lot of questions about sunscreen. Mostly, why wasn’t it better? 

But also: Why did serious sun protection have to mean thick, greasy formulas? Why did every other sunscreen still pill? Why did sunscreen still feel like a summer-only thing? And why – when the rest of skincare had become so damn good – was SPF still lagging behind?  

As beauty industry veterans, Bec and Ava knew a thing or two about making great products. They’d also grown up in Australia, where sunscreen was non-negotiable thanks to some of the highest UV and skin cancer rates on the planet. Between them, they’d tried just about every SPF in existence. They knew there had to be a better way. So, they decided to make their own. 

Three years and hundreds of samples later, Ultra Violette pioneered the sunscreen-meets-skincare category with SKINSCREENS™ – SPF that feels more like top-shelf skincare than, well, SPF.  

We’re talking barely-there textures, glow-giving finishes that layer beautifully under makeup, and skin-boosting actives packed into every formula. And the SPF itself? It doesn’t muck around. Our SKINSCREENS™ deliver the highest level of protection against UVA and UVB rays to help protect against sun damage – wrinkles, pigmentation, fine lines, the works. Because using daily sun protection is one of the smartest things you can do for long-term skin health.
