Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Jane Yoo, board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon. Today I want to introduce two standout sunscreens from Hamilton, a proudly Australian-made and owned brand with a legacy that spans back to 1932. Hamilton is dedicated to quality, supports local innovation, and is firmly committed to cruelty-free formulas that are free of oxybenzone and octinoxate for gentler care for both skin and the environment. First up is Hamilton Everyday Face Invisible Coverage SPF 50+. This lightweight matte finish sunscreen is specifically formulated for daily wear on the face and neck. For UV protection, it uses a thoughtfully layered combination of filters. US-approved filters include Avobenzone for broad spectrum UVA and Octocrylene as a UVB and Avobenzone stabilizer. It also features next-generation UV filters not yet approved in the US. Yet, such as Uvinul T150 as an efficient UVB absorber and Tinosorb S, which covers UVA and UVB, offering advanced broad-spectrum coverage. The formula is infused with aloe vera and vitamin E for significant moisturization and skin barrier support, and is free of parabens, lanolin, and fragrances. With the sheer tint for invisible coverage, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free properties make it ideal for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. Its finish is non-greasy, leaves no white cast, and works seamlessly as a standalone daily sunscreen or as a smooth makeup base. Next, the Hamilton Toddler Roll-On SPF 50+ is thoughtfully designed for the face and body of young children and toddlers. In terms of protection, this formula also contains US-approved filters like Avobenzone for UVA and Octocrylene for UVB protection. It also utilizes next-generation UV filters such as Uvinul T150 and Encamazine for UVB coverage, neither of which are currently approved in the United States market. This combination delivers very high broad-spectrum UVA and UVB coverage engineered for children's sensitive skin. The lotion is water resistant for up to 4 hours and features Hamilton's Dry Touch technology, which helps the formula absorb quickly and leave a soft, non-tacky finish on the skin. This technology allows the sunscreen to feel weightless and comfortable, preventing the sticky or greasy residue that can make reapplication unpleasant. Like the face formula, it is free of fragrance, lanolin, oxybenzone, octinoxate, and colorants, and comes in a roll-on format perfect for quick, even application at home or on the go. Hamilton Sun Care range stands out for using a blend of US-approved and next-generation filters for comprehensive protection. Gentle ingredients suitable for sensitive or young skin, and thoughtful formats that make genuine daily SPF both easy and enjoyable. These products embody quality, innovation, and confidence, true to Hamilton's Australian skincare heritage.
