Why Hampton Sun?

What sets Hampton Sun apart?

Each Hampton Sun formula is meticulously crafted with potent skin-nourishing ingredients. From the low molecular weight hyaluronic acid used in our SPF 45 Wrinkle Control Face Cream to the multiple sources of vitamin c in our Age-Defying SPF 50 Mineral Face Crème, you can be sure that with every application, your skin receives lasting nourishment—improving its health and radiance over time.

Every Hampton Sun product is designed to deliver a truly unique and luxurious experience. From the earliest stages of development, we ensure that every detail reflects our standard of luxury—

The texture, the scent, the way it feels on the skin during and after application, the seamless absorption, the radiant finish, the elegance of the packaging.

Simply put, every element must align with our commitment to sophistication. Hampton Sun is more than just sun and skincare; each product is an experience in itself.

Our UV-advanced sunscreen products are designed to deliver the most effective broad-spectrum protection against the sun’s harmful rays (excluding our sunbathing-specific formulas, which are intentionally crafted with lower levels of UV protection). From the very beginning, we sought out the most specialized labs in the U.S. to bring our vision to life.

Our chemists are highly skilled experts with deep roots in the sun and skincare industry, each bringing years of experience to the formulation process. They work closely with the FDA to uphold the highest quality standards while continuously integrating the latest advancements in sun care technology.


Natural, chemical filter-free mineral sunscreen. High SPF UV-Advanced sunscreen with enhanced water and sweat resistance. A top tier moisturizer + face SPF hybrid. An award-winning sunless tanning mist. SPF 4 + SPF 8 walnut-infused sunbathing essentials.


Dry oil sunscreens that leave your skin with a distinct velvet-matte feel. Water-based, antioxidant-rich after sun mists and gels. Mists, cremes, lotions, gels, oils, sticks, balms. The list goes on. Hampton Sun is so much more than just sunscreen. Our aim is to offer a uniquely luxurious option for every type of sun-goer.
Our signature fragrance inspired by summer in the Hamptons. Crisp, clean green notes are perfectly juxtaposed by airy, uplifting white floral layers. Think white hyacinth, lily of the valley, and privet blossom accented by sea spray, dune grass, and blue plum.

It's far from your typical beachy-coconut sunscreen smell. In fact, it's a scent you would never expect a sunscreen to have. Our Privet Bloom scent was named one of the "Ten Best Fragrances of All Time" by W Magazine and graces several Hampton Sun formulas.


We are constantly looking for ways to fold new technology into our product creation processes. Here are a few of the ways in which we take our products to the next level using state-of-the-art technology:


1. ADVANCED WATER + SWEAT RESISTANCE

The majority of our sunscreens offer advanced water + sweat resistance technology. In this regard, 80 minutes is categorized as "advanced". In contrast, 40 minutes is what is more commonly offered within the sun care industry. This generally means you can go for longer without reapplying and still be protected (your activity level and other factors of course come into play here).

 

2. VANISHING ZINC

Our Mineral sunscreens have been touted as "the most luxurious mineral sunscreens ever made." Apart from their gloriously velvety-smooth texture and potent skin-focused ingredients, our mineral sunscreens rub into the skin with unbeatable ease, leaving behind zero white residue. This is in stark contrast to what is usually offered within the mineral sunscreen realm - unpleasant formulas that feel heavy and leave behind a definite white cast.

 

3. SOLSTICE TECHNOLOGY

Solstice technology is at the forefront of our mineral sunscreen mists. Solstice works particularly well with mineral formulas, helping to offset the heavy, uneven, white-cast-inducing qualities of Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. Solstice technology helps achieve an end product that spreads effortlessly, has a lightweight, silky-smooth texture, dries quickly, dispenses evenly, and leaves behind no white cast.


4. BAG-ON-VALVE PACKAGING

Our Continuous Mist formulas use a special form of Bag-On-Valve technology. Here are the main highlights of the B.O.V. packaging that we use:

  • Compressed air is used instead of propellant. This means that what is sprayed onto the skin and into the air/environment is pure product alone, not propellant.
  • B.O.V. packaging is 100% recyclable and non-flammable
  • Ensures up to 99.5% of the product is dispensed
  • 360 actuation, works at any angle
  • Controlled + seamless spray pattern
  • Hygienic + sterilizable
  • B.O.V. is the #1 most environmentally-friendly spray packaging option available today

We are committed to providing the highest quality in sun (and skin) care while closely following current FDA guidelines (which is crucial, especially when it comes to sunscreen). Our testing processes are involved and extensive; we spare no costs to deliver the very best in sun & skin care. Testing is expensive, and not all suncare companies place the same emphasis on it.

We are proud to offer sunscreen options that do not contain Oxybenzone or Octinoxate, two of the most cited concerns regarding sunscreen chemicals' potential harm to coral reefs. We deeply understand that the narrative around sunscreen and reef/environmental safety is ever-evolving, and are committed to remaining up-to-date with the most current findings.

At Hampton Sun, we believe in creating premium sun and skin care products that not only protect your skin but also respect our planet. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in various aspects of our brand. Learn more about our sustainability practices here.
