It comes in an easy to use spray on liquid, which is transparent and non-greasy in its texture. Sunseal appears completely invisible on the skin, not leaving any residue. Once applied, you can forget it's there. SunSeal is unlike other sunscreens in that it is not absorbed into the skin. Instead, it binds to the skin cells on the surface of the skin and creates a protective micro barrier. This seals your natural skin from potential damage that the sun's harmful rays might cause. Sunseal acts like natural skin, but with SPF30 or SPF50+ protection. What are the benefits of Sunseal?

Originating from Australia, SunSeal™ by Microskin™ redefines what sun protection should be, by offering what is the most durable, reliable sun protection available, anywhere.

What are the benefits of Sunseal?

The film sheds with the top layers of dead skin and can be affected by high skin oil levels,’ explains David Robinson, SunSeals UK MD. No. It only comes as SPF50+ (and, next year, SPF30) and because the film remains on the skin for 72 hours, the UVA/B filters will prevent a deep tan, so it’s not likely to appeal to that consumer. I didn’t turn even slightly pink in 72 hours despite the 33-degree heat, and I'll definitely use it again. SunSeal uses the same long-lasting base but instead of flesh-toned pigments it contains organic UVA/B filters, explains its inventor Les Pascoe. SunSeal is the SPF sister to Microskin, a ‘second skin’ camouflage that covers birthmarks for days.

It dries to a "breathable" waterproof film that adheres strongly to the skin while allowing air through and letting skin sweat normally.' SunSeal is perfect for those family holidays and the height of summer hikes when you need ultimate protection from UV rays. However, you can still get burned even on a cloudy day in the UK, so you should still follow safety precautions. Sun Safety Advice It's an SPF made with a ‘second skin’ film that’s proven to last for three whole days on the skin from just one application. SunSeal™ has been developed by Corium Health and is a true game changer for the global sunscreen market. SunSeal is safe for the whole family, including children over three, and sensitive skin types. It is not absorbed into the skin so it will not irritate. Expert viewMy fake tan’s mottled from the pool water, but I daren’t scrub and reapply in case it weakens my sun protection. Also, my legs are stubbly but I’m not sure I can shave without scraping off my SPF. However it’s very much SPF business as usual with my children, who scream and run as I aim a regular suncream in their direction. If I only had to endure this every three days instead of every three hours, I’d be delighted.

Unlike other sunscreens on the market which are absorbed into the skin, SunSeal™ by Microskin™ binds to the skin, effectively forming a protective, breathable, and waterproof ‘simulated second skin’ that offers what we believe is the most durable sun protection available on the market today. You should aim to strike a balance between protecting yourself from the sun and getting enough vitamin D from sunlight. Our body creates vitamin D from direct sunlight on our skin when we're outdoors. From about late March to the end of September, most people should be able to get all the vitamin D they need from sunlight. Sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer. Most people think that it only happens abroad when it’s hot, but you can burn in the UK, even when it's cloudy. We’re not a sunscreen company, we’re a medical company using our patented Microskin technology – the gold standard in simulated skin technology used by dermatologists worldwide – to make a sunscreen. I spend all day by the pool, mostly under an umbrella because a big part of my brain is shrieking ‘you didn’t put suncream on, idiot’.

I used to use P20 50+ for long days out in the sun, either for cycling or some other sport but switched to this as it offered even longer protection and means I don't have to apply it everyday. I've had zero burn or even slight tanning with the 50+ version and found it to be very effective.
