Why Hampton Sun
THE HAMPTON SUN STANDARD.
What makes Hampton Sun different?
Hampton Sun was founded on the belief that sun care should be as luxurious as it is effective.
Our formulas are designed to bring together broad-spectrum protection, skin-supportive ingredients, refined textures, and effortless application — transforming SPF from a necessity into a daily ritual.
From weightless mists and sheer mineral formulas to luminous oils, classic sunbathing essentials, and after-sun care, every product is created to elevate the way your skin looks and feels in the sun.
Are Hampton Sun formulas dermatologist recommended?
Yes. Hampton Sun is dermatologist recommended by Lance H. Brown, MD, a board-certified dermatologist with offices in New York City and Southampton.
Dr. Brown recommends daily sunscreen use as one of the most effective ways to help protect skin from premature aging and skin cancer. He especially recommends Hampton Sun’s UV Advanced Mists and mineral formulas for their lightweight feel, broad-spectrum protection, and ease of application — making consistent sun protection feel effortless.
What does “suncare is skincare” mean?
At Hampton Sun, SPF is never an afterthought. Our formulas are designed with skin-supportive ingredients that go beyond protection to help hydrate, nourish, soothe, and enhance the skin with every application.
Depending on the formula, you may find ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid for hydration, Vitamin E to moisturize, Aloe Vera to soothe, Grapeseed Extract to support elasticity, antioxidant-rich Vitamin C, and nourishing oils such as Argan, Jojoba, and Walnut Oil.
The result is sun care that feels considered, skin-first, and worthy of the rest of your routine.
How are Hampton Sun formulas tested?
Sunscreen is highly regulated, and we take that responsibility seriously. Hampton Sun formulas are developed with specialized U.S. labs and experienced chemists who understand both sun protection and skincare innovation.
Our sunscreens follow strict testing standards to help ensure protection, performance, and quality. From broad-spectrum defense to water and sweat resistance where applicable, every formula is created with the level of care your skin deserves.
Because true luxury means never cutting corners — especially when it comes to sun protection.
What is the difference between Mineral SPF and UV-Advanced SPF?
Our Mineral SPF formulas use non-nano Zinc Oxide to help protect against UVA and UVB rays. They are designed with refined textures that feel soft, sheer, and comfortable on the skin.
Our UV-Advanced SPF formulas use advanced sunscreen technology to deliver lightweight, broad-spectrum protection in elegant, easy-to-wear textures, including our continuous mists and classic body formulas.
Both collections are designed to offer effective protection with a more elevated, skin-first feel.
What makes the Hampton Sun experience feel luxurious?
Every detail is designed to elevate time spent under the sun.
Our formulas are known for sophisticated textures, effortless absorption, refined finishes, and sensorial fragrance. Rather than feeling heavy, chalky, or overly functional, Hampton Sun is designed to feel smooth, elegant, and pleasurable to use.
From formulation to packaging, each product is crafted to bring the ease, polish, and sun-drenched spirit of the Hamptons into your routine.
What is Hampton Sun’s signature scent?
Our signature scent, Privet Bloom, was created to capture the essence of summer in the Hamptons.
Crisp green notes meet airy white florals — including white hyacinth, lily of the valley, and privet blossom — with hints of sea spray, dune grass, and blue plum.
Far from the typical beachy coconut scent, Privet Bloom is fresh, sophisticated, and unmistakably Hampton Sun. It has been named one of the Ten Best Fragrances of All Time by W Magazine and appears in several of our formulas.
Are Hampton Sun sunscreens reef-friendly?
Yes. Hampton Sun sunscreens are formulated without Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, two ingredients often cited in conversations around sunscreen’s potential impact on coral reefs.
Our formulas are designed to deliver luxurious, high-performance protection while reflecting a more thoughtful approach to sun care.
Are Hampton Sun products cruelty-free?
Yes. Hampton Sun is cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified.
We do not test our products on animals and are committed to maintaining responsible standards across our collection.
What are Hampton Sun’s sustainability standards?
Hampton Sun approaches sustainability through thoughtful formulation, packaging, and product innovation.
Our sunscreens are reef-friendly and formulated without Oxybenzone or Octinoxate. Our packaging is designed with recyclability in mind, and select mist formulas use advanced spray technologies, including Bag-on-Valve or Solstice Technology, to support performance while considering environmental impact.
We continue to make product decisions with care — balancing luxury, efficacy, and responsibility.
