Sun-Safe Chic: PCPC’s Stylish New Take On Sunscreen Awareness

Let’s talk about the ultimate beauty essential, and no, it’s not the latest serum or lipstick. We’re talking about sunscreen. The kind of daily defense that’s far more than beach day backup. This spring, the Personal Care Products Council is making sunscreen a front-row topic with a refreshingly stylish new campaign, just in time for World Health Day.

The #WearSunscreen initiative aims to educate the public about the importance of sunscreen every day—no matter the weather, season, or skin tone. The campaign highlights sun safety, skincare science, and public health, with flair. Think of it as a high-fashion reminder that your most fabulous accessory is glowing, healthy skin.

Backed by industry leaders, including FDA-approved sunscreen manufacturers and cosmetic chemists, the campaign underscores that sunscreen isn’t just a smart choice; it’s essential. PCPC’s goal is to shift the narrative from precaution to power because protecting your skin is a powerful move.

“We hope this campaign not only raises awareness, but also shifts behavior,” said Scott Melville, President & CEO at CHPA. “Our goal is for sunscreen to be seen not as a beach-day extra, but as an everyday essential, because that’s exactly what it is.”

With skin cancer rates still rising, despite growing awareness, the timing couldn’t be more perfect. The #WearSunscreen campaign speaks directly to Gen Z and millennials, bringing a fresh energy to an essential message: sunscreen is your skin’s forever best friend.

PCPC’s educational hub offers tools, tips, and resources about SPF, from decoding labels to exploring the benefits of FDA-approved ingredients. It’s user-friendly, science-backed, and designed to help you feel good about what you're putting on your skin.

So whether you’re jetting to St. Barts, brunching in Beverly Hills, or just stepping out for a green juice in SoHo, one thing’s for sure: SPF is the new status symbol. And thanks to PCPC, wearing it has never looked or felt so good.
