Key benefits

Hand holding a tube of FwBeauty Saffron Brightening Mineral Sunscreen on a white background

Broad-spectrum SPF50

Mineral filters provide UVA and UVB protection for daily wear, when applied generously and reapplied as directed.

Supports your brightening routine

Daily UV protection helps limit the sun exposure that can contribute to uneven-looking tone.

Moisturising skin comfort

Aloe, glycerin and emollients help leave the skin feeling soft and comfortable.

No added fragrance

Formulated without added fragrance, ethanol or denatured alcohol.

How to use & layer

Apply generously. Reapply regularly.

Use as the final skincare step in the morning, before makeup. Apply generously and evenly to the face, neck and other exposed areas before sun exposure. Two finger-lengths can be a useful guide for the face and neck, but the amount required varies with the area covered and the product dispensed. Using too little reduces protection.

Reapply at least every two hours while exposed to the sun, and immediately after swimming, sweating or towel drying. Water resistance does not remove the need to reapply.

Allow the sunscreen film to settle before applying makeup. Keep underlying skincare layers light; do not reduce the sunscreen amount to avoid pilling.

Guide to layering
Surface Reset Enzyme Powder Cleanser

Cleanse

Start with clean skin. Use Surface Reset according to its directions and your skin’s tolerance.

Saffron Gold Brightening Serum

Apply your serum

Use a small amount of Saffron Gold as directed and allow it to settle before moisturising.

Youth Capsule Advanced Brightening Cream

Moisturise

Apply Youth Capsule and let the layer settle. Avoid mixing moisturiser into your sunscreen.

Saffron Brightening Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF50

Protection belongs in every brightening routine.

A brightening routine needs daily sun protection alongside targeted skincare. This formula brings zinc oxide and titanium dioxide together with saffron and moisturising ingredients in a cream designed for everyday wear.

The mineral filters provide UV protection. Saffron and the supporting skincare ingredients complement that protection with care for the appearance and comfort of the skin. Keep the final sunscreen layer separate from your moisturiser so it can be applied evenly.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use it with Youth Capsule and Saffron Gold?

Yes. Apply your serum, then moisturiser, then sunscreen. Allow each layer to settle. Do not mix sunscreen with other products, as this can prevent an even protective film.

Will it leave a white cast?

It is designed to minimise the visible cast associated with mineral filters. The finish can vary between skin tones and with application amount. Apply the full recommended amount; reducing it to change the finish reduces protection.

How often should I reapply?

Reapply at least every two hours during sun exposure and immediately after swimming, sweating or towel drying.

Can I wear makeup over it?

Yes. Allow the sunscreen layer to settle before applying makeup gently. Makeup with SPF does not replace a generous, evenly applied sunscreen layer or reapplication.

Can it help with dark spots?

UV exposure can contribute to uneven-looking pigmentation. Sunscreen is an essential supporting step in a brightening routine, but it does not remove existing dark spots or replace targeted skincare.

Why might it pill when layered?

Heavy layers, rubbing and some product combinations can lead to pilling. Keep the layers underneath light, allow time for them to settle and apply sunscreen evenly. If it pills, simplify your underlying routine rather than use less sunscreen.

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It contains no added fragrance, ethanol or denatured alcohol. It does contain fatty alcohols used for texture and stability, plus phenoxyethanol as a preservative; these are different ingredients from ethanol.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Tolerance varies. Read the full ingredient list and patch test before first use. This formula contains sweet almond oil. Stop use if irritation occurs.

How should I store it?

Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Follow the expiry date and period-after-opening symbol on your packaging.

Does water resistance mean I can skip reapplication?

No. Always reapply after swimming, sweating or towel drying, and at least every two hours during sun exposure.

Change in size

I love the formulation and packaging since launching but one of the reasons it stood out from other brands was the 100ml tube for the price, compared to other similar sun creams on the market, the change down to a 50nl at £25, is disappointing as it requires more spending and plastic overall, would prefer if we could choose between having 100ml or 50ml.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your support and are glad to hear that you love our Saffron Brightening Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF50.

We apologize for any disappointment caused by the change in size from 100ml to 50ml. Our team is constantly working to improve our products and packaging, and we understand your concerns regarding the use of plastic. Rest assured, we will take your feedback into consideration for future product developments.

Thank you for choosing our brand and we hope you continue to enjoy our sunscreen.

Absolutely LOVE THIS!!!

This is a game changer. I apply two lots each morning and let it sink in for 20minutes before applying makeup. No white cast, non greasy and fully protected. I wear it everyday regardless of the season. Will never be without it! Thank you. Would love in a spray to top up…

Best spf ever, thank me later!

This is one of the best suncreams I have ever used!!! I have been using FW Beauty products for the last 7 years and this particular product has been a constant repeat purchase there is no other product out there that is as good as this one not only does this product help to protect my skin but it also reduces the appearance of tanning for me, as well as brightens with the saffron ingredient this is amazing. I am always stocking up on this product and you should do so too!

This is the best spf I have ever used in my whole entire life! I usually have problems with spf 50s as they leave a white cast on my face. I am brown/olive skin tone. This spf is soo good it leaves no white cast on my face. My brother used it when he went on holiday with me once and now he’s obsessed with it too!

One of the best SPF I’ve used. Agree, doesn't leave a horrible white cast. Light texture and melts into your skin. I used it on my boys 10yr and 6yr during the heat wave here in London and their skin was ok.

It’s very light texture so will need reapplying every few hours as mentioned on instruction.

I am in love with FW beauty products now. I have recommended it to my sisters.

I have used high end SPF creams like Clinique and Clarins ( boycotted now) but have to say FW SPF cream is now my fav SPF cream .

Because the texture is so light it’s best to leave the cream flat on your table/ cupboard as it can get a little messy in the cap.

Sunscreen

I have been using this sunscreen all summer and I find that the bottles are very small. The sunscreen it self it feels good but when you top it up it makes my skin feel very oily and heavy and thru out the heatwave it felt like it was peeling off. I still have some left but for the price and how it feels I dont think I will buy again. It might be good on others skin but not for me

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our SPF50.

We completely understand that the feel and finish of a sunscreen can vary considerably from person to person, particularly when reapplying throughout the day or during very hot weather. Skin type, the products layered underneath and the amount applied can all influence how an SPF sits and feels on the skin.

Our SPF50 was formulated to provide high daily sun protection while maintaining a comfortable skin feel; however, as with all skincare, one formulation will not necessarily suit every individual skin type or preference.

We really appreciate you giving the product a fair try throughout the summer and for sharing your feedback with us.
