Melitta Adam grew up in South East Asia where sunscreen was barely a consideration, until she returned to Aotearoa and witnessed firsthand the damage of one of the world's harshest sun environments. That experience, combined with years working as a skin specialist, gave her both the knowledge and the urgency to create something better.
After four years of development across laboratories in New Zealand, Australia, the United States and South Korea, she created GLOWGUARD, New Zealand's first daily-wear SPF 50+ with four hours of broad spectrum protection. Lightweight, fragrance-free and reef-safe, it sits beautifully under makeup and is designed to be worn with the same ease and intention as any other daily ritual.
Formulated with botanicals chosen for their soothing, brightening and antioxidant qualities, GLOWGUARD supports a healthy skin barrier while protecting against UV damage.
