Garnier, Kenya’s leading face care brand, is excited to introduce Garnier Super UV SPF 50, a sunscreen designed to meet the increasing demand for effective sun protection tailored to melanin-rich and African skin.

In recent years, awareness of the importance of daily sun protection has significantly increased across the country and Africa. More people now recognize that sunscreen is essential in preventing sun damage from UV rays, dark marks, and premature aging. 

However, many sunscreens leave a white residue and feel heavy, making them less suitable for daily use on darker skin tones.

Consumers across Africa have long sought a high-performance, lightweight, and no white cast SPF that protects against sun-induced dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone concerns that are prevalent in darker skin tones.

Garnier’s latest sunscreen innovation directly responds to consumer demand for a high-quality and dermatologically tested product that it tested on African skin, lightweight in texture and leaves no white cast at an Affordable price. Additionally, it has Vitamin C which correct dark marks.

“The launch of Garnier Super UV SPF 50 Sunscreen is a milestone in skincare innovation. We understand the unique skincare challenges faced by people with melanin-rich skin, and this sunscreen is formulated to provide 99% protection from sun damage and dark marks,” L’oreal Brand Business Lead Natalie Njenga, says.

As Kenya’s number 1 face care brand, Garnier is committed to making high-quality sun protection accessible and affordable to meet the needs of the modern Kenyan consumer. The launch of Garnier Super UV SPF 50 sunscreen is a direct response to the demand for a reliable, dermatologically tested sunscreen that addresses the specific concerns of African skin.
