Sun care is on the rise in Indonesia, especially with the raise of local brand tapping into creating their line of sun care brand. Reflecting from the market dynamics, sun care players are incorporating more skin-like benefits through creating multifunctionalities inspired by urban concept such as pollution and blue light protection. Furthermore, to cater the needs, players are launching sun care products with textures that are highly favored by the market such as non-greasy, easy to spread and light. 

Despite the light feel, how can we be sure that we have the optimum coverage towards the impacts of UV lights?
