Bad news for aesthetic clinics. Botox, fillers, and lasers just might become a thing of the past. Why? Globally loved and adored sunblock brand, Supergoop, just announced they are launching in Sephora on 1 October. The brand is known for its sunscreens with skincare benefits, and we caught up with its founder, Holly Thaggard, to find out a lil’ more.
A lil’ Supergoop history
Founded in 2011, Supergoop set out to make everyday skincare products with UV protection. The products were formulated for daily use, not just for beach days. Today, the Supergoop range consists of everything from face and body care to haircare and scalp protection too.
We feel that the Cosmo ME community is going to love Supergoop, and Holly agrees. “We have always valued the fact that there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all SPF, so I think and hope that will really resonate with our friends here in the Middle East in the same way it has with so many others around the world. Plus, this area of the world is susceptible to so much sun and heat, and that will definitely give people even more motivation to wear and love our sunscreen.”Â
SPF is our BFF
“The way we make our products is unlike any other SPF brand on the market. Since Day One, we’ve held ourselves to such a high standard (what we like to call the Supergoop! Standard!), and that means we’ve always valued things like superior feel and benefits, efficacy and transparency, thoughtful ingredients and personalized formulas. If anything we’ve ever formulated hasn’t checked all of these boxes, then we go back to the drawing board.”
“Plus, we have an incredibly meaningful and authentic mission that motivates us in the work that we do, and no other brand will ever be able to emulate that. We’re here to help change the way the world thinks about sunscreens, which is a huge differentiating factor between ourselves and other SPF brands.”

Made for all skin types and tones, this non-greasy liquid lotion is loved for its barely-there finish. The formula’s cooling sensation feels refreshing and doesn’t leave a white cast. It not only protects skin from UV rays, but it also prevents damage from blue light and pollution.

Just like its name suggests, this sunblock is made for those who plan on getting a lil’ sweaty and wet during the day. Its skin-loving formula is packed with nourishing ingredients like conditioning rosemary and rice bran extract to keep skin soft and supple. This is a great option for gals who like to smother their entire bodies in sunblock as its high broad spectrum protection factor is unmatched.

“This has been our #1 best seller for so many years, and it truly changed the game when we first introduced it in the U.S.A. a little over five years ago. It’s the exact opposite of what you would expect from your regular SPF- it’s invisible, weightless and scentless, with so many healthy, skin-nourishing benefits (in addition to sun protection, of course). “
