Cosmetics à la Carte, the award-winning British beauty brand, has launched The Bright Side Invisible SPF 50 — a welcome addition to its roster of consciously formulated skincare (£45 for 50ml). Available to buy online and in-store from 28th June 2025.

The advanced, featherlight, shine-free formula is virtually invisible on skin yet protects against everything that matters: UVA, UVB, and HEV blue light from our ubiquitous digital devices. Harnessing cutting-edge UV filters and the photoprotective power of Arabian Cotton Cell Extract, The Bright Side offers daily defence while avoiding key hormone disruptors. Environmentally conscious, the formulation avoids the two most common UV-blocking chemicals that have been found to cause coral bleaching.

A traceless and instantly absorbed formula, it does more than protect — doubling as a smoothing and hydrating primer that grips foundation for a flawless finish. Unscented, vegan and dermatologist-tested, The Bright Side Invisible SPF 50 also cares for skin throughout the day, thanks to conditioning D-Panthenol and antioxidant Niacinamide.

With daily sun protection now proven to guard against premature ageing, this launch makes it easier than ever to maintain good skincare habits — a perfect expression of the brand’s ethos: Beauty that Works for You.

“I’ve resented wearing heavy, greasy SPF most of my life, and baulked at the ever-accumulating research on hormonal impacts. Our new formulation finally changed my mind. A joy to wear with makeup or without, while offering maximum protection and peace of mind. I love solutions that make life simpler, and this does.”

— Lynne Sanders, Founder, Cosmetics à la Carte

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

Cutting-edge UV filters (octisalate and triazines) that are more photo-stable, water-resistant and skin-friendly than alternatives, with minimal to no endocrine effects — offering advanced UVA/UVB/HEV protection to guard against photo-ageing from direct and indirect sunlight as well as blue light emitted by digital devices.

Arabian Cotton Stem Cell Extract (Gossypium Herbaceaum), which produces protective phenols and flavonoids that repair cells and combat photo-ageing. With broad-spectrum photoprotection, it shields against radiation whilst inhibiting inflammation and degenerative processes.

D-Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and multi-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid offer conditioning and hydrating benefits for balanced, moisturised skin.

Antioxidant Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), which helps resist oxidative stress triggered by sun exposure and fortifies the skin barrier.
