Why You'll Love It

SUNSCREEN’S HAD A GLOW-UP

This innovative hybrid formula blends the final step of skincare with the first step of make-up, for even the most sensitive skin. A non-greasy, fragrance-free mineral sunscreen for face and body, with an all-natural glow built in.

The most important skincare step is often skipped because it’s irritating, or leaves a heavy finish that make-up can’t get on with. So we’ve simplified things. With a sensitive sunscreen that feels more like skincare. And looks more like a glow-boosting primer. Don’t just take our word for it. In independent trials*, 83% said skin looks instantly more luminous, while 88% agreed it works well as a smooth, even base.

Here’s how we did it: non-nano Zinc Oxide and Cotton Extract bring broad spectrum sun protection, physically shielding the skin from UVA and UVB. And ethically-sourced pearlescent pigments deliver immediate glow – for dewy summer skin, all year round.

Key ingredients

Zinc
Acting as a physical shield, this all-natural mineral filter protects against UVA and UVB light. We use non-nano Zinc Oxide in our sunscreen which means the particles aren't small enough to be absorbed or to interfere with ocean life.
Cotton Extract
Rich in Vitamin E, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, this hardworking active helps protect skin from photo-ageing and damage caused by the sun's harmful rays.

Full Ingredients

Aqua (water), Zinc Oxide, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride, Coconut Alkanes, Shea, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter* (shea butter), Coco-glucoside, Pentylene Glycol, Glycerin, Inulin, Mica, Xanthan Gum, Caprylyl Glycol, Silica, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil*, Bentonite, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Lecithin, Isostearic, Gossypium Herbaceum Callus Culture (cotton extract), Simmondsia Chinensis, Tocopherol* (vitamin e), Titanium Dioxide, Fructose, Pongamia, Sodium Phytate, Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate, Lactic, Citric Acid, Jojoba Esters, Iron Oxides (ci 77499, Ci 77491, Ci 77492).

100% natural origin.

*Organic

How to Use

Smooth two fingertip-sized amounts over your face and neck each morning, after moisturiser. It's fast-absorbing and non-greasy, so no hanging around. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours for full protection.

Skip the primer. The mineral pigments that give BST Glow its radiant finish also block up to 86% of blue light, so your one step is doing the work of three. Wear it under foundation or on its own for a natural, lit-from-within look.

For best results, layer over Century Flower Barrier Defence Mist and The Anthemis Soothing Moisturiser as part of your morning routine.

*Allow sunscreen to fully absorb before dressing to help minimise transfer onto clothing.

Recycling

Say no to landfill! Let's recycle everything! - Sarah

Cut the tube partway along the top, below the crimp, so you can rinse it out. Please do not cut it off completely. Leave the cap on and send it back to us in your Pai mailer.

All Pai boxes, cartons, sleeves and inserts can be recycled with your household paper recycling.

The majority of your Pai packaging can be recycled at home, but some components need specialist recycling. We've partnered with a specialist programme to make this as easy as possible for our UK customers.

Keep your Pai mailer box (it can be flat packed for easy storage). Fill it with the packaging elements you can't recycle at home, and clearly label the box RECYCLING. Create your free returns label and drop it off at the post office.

Please note we are unable to accept glass or non-Pai packaging. Glass bottles can be separated and placed into your household recycling.

Reviews

Fantastic

"Really love this. It really does give you a glow and protects from the sun very effectively. Please make an spf 50 as well"

— Fiona D. (5/5)

Love it

"I first bought the British Summe Time 3 years ago but it's the second summer I've been using the Glow version and it's perfect for my skin tone. I'll definitely use it all year long now that I go on several walks a day with my dog, so it protects my skin that has been prone to dark spots recently, but still look good like a foundation."

— Karolyn S. (5/5)

Gentle sunscreen with powerful protection

"Pai summer time has changed how I see facial sun cream. I had avoided applying sunscreen to my chin and nose as it always ended with breakouts to the point of needing hydrocortisone. This cream is much gentler, smells amazing and so far, no breakouts, as well as offering high SPF protection. I’d highly recommend it."

— Kathleen W. (5/5)

A great product

"I love this SPF - it's a "two in one" providing sun protection and a glow (and the added bonus of being gentle on my sensitive)"

— Aimee M. (5/5)

Pai summertime glow

"Skin looks healthy with a subtle glow and with the 30 SPF, just great . Sometimes put a bit of foundation over the top, if going out but love it !"

— Helen M. (5/5)

Sun-kissed glow!

"Great texture and lightweight, huge improvement on the previous sunscreen and adds a sun-kissed glow to your skin!"

— H T. (5/5)

55+ must for Baltic Sun

"Great product, I don't use foundation and now I can use this after my moisturizer. The Baltic sun cannot be underestimated. I only wish Pai would be available to buy locally here."

— Martina P. (5/5)

Great for holidays

"Covered my skin nicely while on holiday."

— Jill S. (5/5)

The perfect combination of glow and sun protection.

"I love this in the summer. I normally add a couple of bronzing drops as well. The perfect combination of glow and sun protection."

— Nancy H. (5/5)

Love it!

"I absolutely love the British summer time glow SPF, it’s somewhere between a highlighter & foundation / SPF. It gives a lovely brightening sheen & has a very gentle tint that isn’t visible but just seems to smooth out the skin complexion. I love it, it’s a must have for me!"

— P T. (5/5)
