One of the silkiest SPFs I have tried, Future Fluid is incredibly lightweight. In fact, the texture reminds me more of a facial serum, rather than a sunscreen – something that can be attributed to how it’s made. “I think one of the most exciting things about this product is how it’s been formulated,” says Ava, “which is an oil-in-water emulsion vs a water-in-oil emulsion.”
The difference between the two? An oil-in-water emulsion provides a lighter and more easily spreadable texture, while a water-in-oil emulsion tends to be thicker in texture. “When you feel Future, everyone is just astounded at how light it is. The dry down and finish is almost imperceptible – you really feel the watery-ness of it,” adds Ava.
As well as offering high-factor, broad-spectrum protection, Future Fluid also packs a skincare punch with its cocktail of do-good ingredients. Pentavitin, a plant-derived mega-hydrator, teams up with vitamin E and squalane to soothe and hydrate sun-exposed skin. Double tick!
Though the formula looks tinted when it first comes out, it dries completely clear – no sticky residue, no ghostly cast. It’s weightless, breathable, and slots seamlessly into my routine. I apply it after my go-to niacinamide serum and before makeup; it doubles as a primer, keeping everything in place too.
Unlike many mineral SPFs I’ve tried, which can feel like a chore to apply, Future Fluid is a total joy to wear. It’s luxe without being fussy – the kind of product that makes your routine feel elevated, not overcomplicated.
The texture? Dreamy. It glides on effortlessly, never pills, and gives me that subtle, dewy finish I’m always chasing. I genuinely look forward to using it every morning – rare for sunscreen, I know – and it’s quickly become one of those holy grail products I can’t imagine skipping. Trust me, it’s that good.
Bravo, Ultra Violette – you’ve nailed it once again! This Ultra Violette sunscreen is the mineral SPF I didn’t know I needed and now can’t live without. Ahead, shop more mineral SPFs we love…
