"Glowguard is redefining what people expect from sunscreen, offering serious protection in a refined, wearable formula that fits seamlessly into beauty routines. Rather than launch a range, MELITTA SKIN built one exceptional product. Something that could shift daily behaviour and reshape a category."

MiNDFOOD

"Newly launched GLOWGUARD offers four hours of water-resistant, broad spectrum SPF50 protection when the recommended 1.25ml pipette dosage is applied. It protects and primes skin for makeup at the same time, with the lightweight formulation absorbing quickly to leave the skin hydrated and soft."

Viva

"From becoming an entrepreneur while still at university to creating New Zealand’s first daily-wear SPF 50 with four-hour protection, Melitta Adam is redefining the way we think about SPF."

Fashion Quarterly

"Everyday SPF, redefined. We love a women-led start up, especially one shaking up SPF. GLOWGUARD is a long-wear SPF 50 that lasts 4 hours (twice the industry standard) because sun protection should keep up with you, not the other way around. Created by former skin specialists at MECCA, this weightless SPF protects against UV damage without the dreaded greasy feel. Packed with glow-boosting centella, glutathione and jojoba esters, it hydrates, brightens and nourishes while sitting like a dream under makeup. Plus, the genius pipette design ensures you’re applying enough - because half a pump won’t cut it."

REMIX

"Glowguard is redefining the narrative that sunscreen is seasonal, offering the elusive combination of maximum protection and everyday wearability."

University of Auckland

"Our lack of ozone layer is no news yet only 10% of Kiwis wear SPF outside of summer (and that's probably why more than 7,000 Kiwis are diagnosed with melanoma every year). Daily sunscreen's essential then. And for that, there's Glowguard. New Zealand's first-ever daily-wear SPF50 with 4 hours of sun defence, Glowguard by Melitta Skin has leapt to the top of our daily skincare routine (no matter the season). Texturally sublime, light feel, fragrance-free and not a hint of grease—plus a gorgeous glass pipette for easy application, we're a little bit in love, and we think you will be too."

Urban List

"As the leaves turn and the air cools, GLOWGUARD by Melitta Skin is this month’s beauty favourite to bring together skin-loving formulas perfect for the changing season."

Verve

"The new SPF on the block that tackles all the undesirable traits in one fell swoop, Melitta Skin Glowguard, provides four-hour SPF50 protection in a lightweight serum-like texture without sticky residue."

Weiting Zhang

As a makeup artist passionate about innovative skincare, I’ve noticed that SPF often gets overlooked in daily routines. That’s why GLOWGUARD is a game-changer—it prioritises sun protection while also serving as an excellent primer to enhance makeup longevity. The formulation of GLOWGUARD is versatile and hassle free, perfect for my clients of all skin tones and types.

Emily Zganiacz

I hate to admit I’m not the best with sunscreen because I generally don’t like the textures that are on the market. GLOWGUARD is unlike anything I’ve tried, so light on the skin, layers with my skincare without balling and sits beautifully underneath makeup. This is the future of SPF.

Liz Hyun

Massaging GLOWGUARD onto my skin with my hands is my favourite application method. It's a nice light consistency that sits beautifully under my makeup.

Tallulah

GLOWGUARD is the first sunscreen I can honestly admit I wear religiously. As a PoC finding a sunscreen that sits well on my skin, leaves no white cast and work perfectly under makeup has been an absolute game changer.
