Professional skincare brands rank among the top 100 SPFs

Several professional skincare brands have products ranked among the top 100 sunscreen items, according to a report by Amalgam, a new service by Kline. 

EltaMD is a key performer in the suncare space with its UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 and UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 in the number two and three spots, respectively. Suncare products from brands like Colorescience, Dermalogica, Murad, Dr Dennis Gross Skin Care and SkinCeuticals also appear. 

Professional skincare brands are also climbing the ranks in the mask segment, as SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Masque and PCA Skin’s Purifying Mask jump 30 and 197 spots, respectively. 

Sunscreens were among the most dynamic and fastest-growing products in the US professional skincare market in 2017. Kline’s annual US Professional Skin Care Market report revealed that sales of take-home suncare products advanced 7.7% in 2017, mainly driven by the growing demand for sun protection as marketers, physicians and aestheticians increasingly push the use of daily SPF. 

The market has also seen a significant number of new product launches driving this growth, with new sun care introductions from marketers like Alastin, Epionce, HydroPeptide, Image Skincare, Murad and Senté.
