Why You'll Love It

SUNSCREEN’S HAD A GLOW-UP.

This innovative hybrid formula blends the final step of skincare with the first step of make-up, for even the most sensitive skin. A non-greasy, fragrance-free mineral sunscreen for face and body, with an all-natural glow built in.

The most important skincare step is often skipped because it’s irritating, or leaves a heavy finish that make-up can’t get on with. So we’ve simplified things. With a sensitive sunscreen that feels more like skincare. And looks more like a glow-boosting primer. Don’t just take our word for it. In independent trials*, 83% said skin looks instantly more luminous, while 88% agreed it works well as a smooth, even base.

Here’s how we did it: non-nano Zinc Oxide and Cotton Extract bring broad spectrum sun protection, physically shielding the skin from UVA and UVB. And ethically-sourced pearlescent pigments deliver immediate glow – for dewy summer skin, all year round.

Directions

Smooth two fingertip-sized amounts over your face and neck each morning, after moisturiser. It's fast-absorbing and non-greasy, so no hanging around. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours for full protection.

Skip the primer. The mineral pigments that give BST Glow its radiant finish also block up to 86% of blue light, so your one step is doing the work of three. Wear it under foundation or on its own for a natural, lit-from-within look.

For best results, layer over Century Flower Barrier Defence Mist and The Anthemis Soothing Moisturiser as part of your morning routine.

*Allow sunscreen to fully absorb before dressing to help minimise transfer onto clothing.

Recycling

Say no to landfill! Let's recycle everything! - Sarah

Cut the tube partway along the top, below the crimp, so you can rinse it out. Please do not cut it off completely. Leave the cap on and send it back to us in your Pai mailer.

All Pai boxes, cartons, sleeves and inserts can be recycled with your household paper recycling.

The majority of your Pai packaging can be recycled at home, but some components need specialist recycling. We've partnered with a specialist programme to make this as easy as possible for our UK customers.

Keep your Pai mailer box (it can be flat packed for easy storage). Fill it with the packaging elements you can't recycle at home, and clearly label the box RECYCLING. Create your free returns label and drop it off at the post office.

Please note we are unable to accept glass or non-Pai packaging. Glass bottles can be separated and placed into your household recycling.

If you are in the UK and unsure what your local services accept, visit recyclenow.com.

Key Ingredients

  • Zinc Oxide

    Acting as a physical shield, this all-natural mineral filter protects against UVA and UVB light, without irritating even the most sensitive skin. Ours is non-nano, which means the particles aren't small enough to be absorbed or to interfere with ocean life.

  • Natural Mica

    Sustainably and ethically sourced, this natural pearlescent pigment reflects light, giving skin a natural, lit-from-within healthy glow.

  • Cotton Extract

    Rich in Vitamin E, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, this hardworking active helps protect skin from photo-ageing and damage caused by the sun's harmful rays.

Sarah Brown, Pai Founder

"You can't rely on the British weather for radiant skin. But you can rely on us. An evolution of our game-changing natural sunscreen for sensitive skin – now with added glow. With a finish so luminous, you’ll never want to skip SPF again."

SARAH BROWN
FOUNDER, PAI SKINCARE

Reviews

55+ must for Baltic Sun

"Great product, I don't use foundation and now I can use this after my moisturizer. The Baltic sun cannot be underestimated. I only wish Pai would be available to buy locally here."

Martina P. (5/5)

The perfect combination of glow and sun protection.

"I love this in the summer. I normally add a couple of bronzing drops as well. The perfect combination of glow and sun protection."

Nancy H. (5/5)

Love it!

"I absolutely love the British summer time glow SPF, it’s somewhere between a highlighter & foundation / SPF. It gives a lovely brightening sheen & has a very gentle tint that isn’t visible but just seems to smooth out the skin complexion. I love it, it’s a must have for me!"

P T. (5/5)

Perfect for looking after sensitive skin in the sun!

"Love this. A fabulous base for sensitive skin with gentle but effective SPFs with a natural glow and sheen. Thoroughly recommend. Bigger tubes of this please! 🙏"

Antonia C. (5/5)

Love Pai but spf reacted with my skin.

"Love pai products, but unfortunately this spf did not suit my skin. My skin has been really comfortable and balanced using the oil cleanser and anthemis moisturiser. But this has left my skin dry and rough, red and irritated."

Miss G. (3/5)

Lovely SOF apply it over make up and it doesn’t clog

"Fabulous SPF 30 - but ‘please Pai, could you make a SPF 50% - thanks !"

Barbara B. (5/5)

Great product

"Love that this product gives me spf protection and good coverage. I use it every day and it is not drying on my dry older skin. I use it on top of my serum and moisturiser. It gives good coverage and I use it without anything on too just a little concealer. I like that Pai is as natural as possible with no nasties in its products."

Julie W. (5/5)

Perfectly protected.

"This is my second tube. I use less, if any make up when this provides such a dewy finish. Hoping they bring out a factor 50, and I'm not sure if milia is due to this product albeit it says it's non-comdegenic . Provides ultimate protection in the sun, never burnt and don't forget the neck ladies. . . ."

Karen L. (5/5)

Lovely sunscreen

"This is a lovely sunscreen that looks super natural, and I'm very happy to have no white cast. Personally, as someone who doesn't wear foundation,and doesn't have a deep cleaning routine at night, I wished I'd bought the untinted version, as I found it hard to clean my face as it doesn't just wash off. Then I'm into the realm of needing to buy a cream cleanser just because I have this product, etc."

Miss P. (5/5)

Great SPF

"Love this product, does exactly what it said it will. Blends in beautifully. We run a marine charity so would love a 50SPF please. I love the fact it’s kind to the sea, no nasties or pollutants"
