Coco & Eve has recently added to its Glow-First Sun Protection, with three SPF50 products that ensure high protection from the sun whilst nourishing the skin to leave it glowing
With the spring almost upon us and summer in reach, many of us are yearning for that sun-kissed glow that comes with lounging in the sunshine. While developing a natural tan can leave us feeling confident, it comes with the potential for sun damage, not to mention premature signs of ageing, especially if not wearing a strong enough sunscreen with high SPF.
We’ve all been there – not applying a high SPF in order to get a deeper, richer tan (and quicker), but Coco & Eve, a beauty brand whose haircare and fake tan is a viral hit for its transformative formulas, has provided a solution to this. It’s a newly launched glow-first SPF collection, which has been built with tanning safety in mind.
One of its SPF products not only helps nourish and repair skin, but its tanning-boosting biomimetic peptides also provide protection against photoaging. While many suncreams tend to be heavy, thick or shiny on the skin, the brand’s Sunny Honey Protect high-level broad spectrum protection comes in a range of textures that enhance how skin looks whilst protecting it – including an oil, milk and highlighter.

The Tan Boosting Anti-Ageing Body Oil SPF50, which costs £28, is an ‘all-in-one Bali-inspired body oil and sunscreen’ which aims to boost natural tanning while giving protection from broad spectrum UVA/UVB thanks to its SPF50 strength. Its formula is skin-loving and comes rich in antioxidants, including Watermelon Seed Oil and Guava, which work to nourish and repair the skin.
Similar to the brand’s other products, its scent is atypical of sunscreen – it doesn’t smell artificial or chemical, but has a tropical mango fragrance that makes applying it way more enjoyable. Not to mention it’s reportedly not sticky and fast absorbing – ie, no need to wait to dry to get dressed before heading out. The brand recommends applying 20 minutes before sun-exposure and every two hours after swimming, sweating or towelling.

The Tan Boosting Anti-Aging Body Oil from Coco & Eve comes in SP30 and SP50 and is part of the brand’s expanding Glow-First Sun Protection.
Now, when it comes to scent, one other brand whose sunscreen spray surprised me with its pleasant smell was Heliocare, whose 360° Invisible Spray SPF50+, now £29, has a sweet, non-invasive fragrance, plus it is non-greasy and is an aerosol spray that makes applying it a breeze.
Coco & Eve’s Tan Boosting Anti-Ageing Body Oil SPF50 has received a stellar star rating of 4.9 out of five from shoppers, highlighting its quality. One user remarked how they need a ‘refill asap’, stating: “I absolutely loved this product! I took it with me on my last vacation along the Ecuadorian coast and achieved the best tan—deep, even, and without turning red. The colour it gave me was pure perfection. Even three months later, I still have visible tan lines and continue to receive compliments on my glow.”
“I absolutely love this product !! I’ve used it twice now on two different holidays and come back with lovely golden tan each time!,” wrote another. “Never burnt as I have previously & my skin feels so soft with it! Just love it.” Meanwhile, a third said: “Love love love this tanning oil, perfect for my ageing skin,” although they shared one slight drawback: “The lid on the bottle could be much better I feel it’s not secure enough.”
Another user raved: “Just returned from holiday in Ibiza using the Tan-Boosting Anti-Ageing-Body Oil SPF30 and can say I won’t be using anything else now! I normally always burn at some point on holiday but, not once with this. Not only did it make my skin look and feel amazing (I’m 55), but it smells fabulous, even had a couple of people asking me what perfume I was wearing and told them it was my sunscreen.”
This isn’t the brand’s only SPF-rich product, as it has recently launched the Coconut Milk Body SPF 50 and Highlighter Body SPF 50 into the mix. The latter, £33, is infused with pearlescent minerals to deliver an instant glow and shimmer, while the vitamin E, cacao extract and Coconut and Apricot Kernel Oils work together as a skincare serum to boost moisture, revitalise and soothe as well as nourish and protect from skin-damaging free radicals.
With SPF50, it protects against UVA/UVB broad-spectrum all whilst leaving its wearer smelling divine with its tropical mango scent. Shoppers have been left so impressed with the formula that one person shared how it has ‘Completely changed how I feel about body sunscreen!’. They noted: “I really liked how lightweight and serum-like the formula feels on the skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy or sticky feeling, which is something I often struggle with when it comes to body SPFs.
“I also enjoyed the subtle pearlescent glow, it gives the skin a healthy, radiant look rather than looking glittery and takes away the need to layer extra products. It feels easy and comfortable to wear throughout the day, and after using it my skin felt softer and smoother. The tropical mango scent is absolutely unbeatable and feels pure luxury, turning sun protection into a summery, feel-good moment rather than a chore.”
Someone else shared how the skincare properties of the concoction helped with skin issues and said: “It evened out my skin tone and gave a really natural, healthy-looking glow. Application was very easy and it left a lovely soft, subtle shimmer on my skin. The SPF 50 is an added bonus! Who doesn’t want to be glowing while also being protected from the sun?”
As for the new Coconut Milk Body SPF50, it is a water-based lotion that absorbs quickly and leaves its users with a naturally dewy glow – all while delivering powerful UVA/UVB broad-spectrum protection. As the brand declares, its ‘dermatologist-tested formula nourishes and hydrates for skin that feels silky, soft and oh-so-smooth’. This is likely thanks to its exclusive HydraCoconut Complex™ technology, which uses ultra-hydrating pentavitin blended with antioxidant-rich coconut, watermelon and dragonfruit.
Meanwhile, the inclusion of pineapple and papaya extracts boosts vitamin C to support skin that glows from within, and mango extract provides an extra boost of nourishing hydration. Those who have already got their hands on this new formula say it’s more ‘like skincare, not sunscreen’, adding: “I love the Coconut Milk Body SPF 50 because it feels more like skincare than sunscreen. It’s lightweight, smells amazing, and keeps my skin soft while protecting it, which makes wearing SPF every day actually enjoyable rather than a chore.”
Another remarked: “This body milk SPF changed the game for me. I’ve used SPF sprays before, but this body milk SPF takes the cake. You get an even application each time, and I love that it has a milky texture. It absorbs so fast and doesn’t leave a white cast behind, it soaks right into the skin without residue and my skin looks hydrated after using it, unlike other SPF products that leave you looking chalky and sticky. The fragrance is nice and warm and keeps me drifting off to the beach.”
For those who’d rather a fragrance-free option, the La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid Non-Perfumed Suncream, £21 at Boots, is a great alternative. While it is labelled as a cream, it is relatively watery in application, making it more milk-like than cream and offers a non-greasy finish that has no cast.
