Sunscreen has become a non-negotiable step in modern skincare, especially in a tropical country like the Philippines where daily sun exposure can contribute to premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and other skin concerns. But while many Filipinos understand the importance of sun protection, finding a sunscreen that matches specific skin needs can still be a challenge.
That's exactly what Hello Glow aims to solve with the launch of its expanded Sun Care Stick Collection. Building on the success of its award-winning sunscreen stick, the Filipino skincare brand now offers five specialized variants designed to address different skin concerns while providing high-level UV protection.
Hello Glow Expands Its Award-Winning Sun Care Line
Known for creating accessible and effective skincare products, Hello Glow has officially introduced a complete collection of Korean-formulated sunscreen sticks tailored for various skin types and concerns.
The lineup is anchored by the brand's original Sun Care Stick SPF 60+ PA++, which earned recognition as Best Sunscreen Stick at the 2023 Cosmopolitan Philippines Cosmo Beauty Awards.
With the launch of four new variants, Hello Glow becomes the first Filipino skincare brand to offer a concern-specific sunscreen stick collection of this scale, giving consumers more personalized options when choosing daily sun protection.
Available nationwide and online, the collection combines Korean skincare technology with formulations suited for the country's warm and humid climate.
Why Sunscreen Remains Essential for Filipino Skin
Daily sunscreen use is widely regarded by dermatologists as one of the most important skincare habits for maintaining healthy skin.
Regular UV exposure can contribute to:
- Premature skin aging
- Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
- Uneven skin tone
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Increased risk of skin damage
By incorporating sunscreen into a daily routine, consumers can help protect their skin while supporting the effectiveness of other skincare products.
According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Francesca Sy-Alvarado, advancements in skincare innovation have made it easier for Filipinos to find products tailored to their unique concerns, including specialized sun protection solutions.
Meet the Five Hello Glow Sun Care Stick Variants
The new collection features five sunscreen sticks formulated with targeted skincare ingredients while delivering broad-spectrum sun protection.
1. Original Sun Care Stick SPF 60+
The product that started it all remains one of Hello Glow's most popular offerings.
Featuring FDA-certified SPF 60+ protection, the Original Sun Care Stick delivers one of the highest SPF ratings available among sunscreen sticks in the Philippine market.
The product has also become a bestseller in the sun care category on Shopee and remains a favorite among beauty enthusiasts looking for lightweight, portable sun protection.
Priced at ₱400 for 17.5g, it continues to be an accessible option for everyday use.
2. Ceramide Sun Care Stick SPF 50+ for Dry Skin
For individuals dealing with dryness and a weakened skin barrier, the Ceramide Sun Care Stick focuses on hydration and moisture retention.
The formula contains:
- Ceramides
- Triple Hyaluronic Acid
- Vitamin E
- Panthenol
Together, these ingredients help nourish the skin while protecting it from UV exposure. The dewy finish also makes it an attractive option for those who prefer a more radiant complexion throughout the day.
3. Alpha-Melight® Sun Care Stick SPF 50+ for Brightening
Dark spots and uneven skin tone are among the most common skincare concerns among Filipinos.
The Alpha-Melight® Sun Care Stick is formulated to address pigmentation concerns while providing daily sun protection. It contains brightening actives designed to help improve the appearance of discoloration and hyperpigmentation.
The formula is further enhanced with Ceramides and Vitamin E to support skin health and antioxidant protection.
For users looking to prevent existing dark spots from becoming more noticeable due to sun exposure, this variant offers a practical solution.
4. Mugwort Sun Care Stick SPF 50+ for Acne-Prone Skin
Those with oily and acne-prone skin often struggle to find sunscreen products that feel comfortable throughout the day.
The Mugwort Sun Care Stick is formulated with:
- Mugwort Extract
- Cica Extract

These ingredients are commonly used in Korean skincare for their soothing and calming properties.
The lightweight matte finish helps reduce excess shine while allowing easy reapplication without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for everyday wear in the Philippine climate.
5. Bakuchiol Sun Care Stick SPF 50+ for Anti-Aging
For consumers focused on preventive skincare, the Bakuchiol Sun Care Stick combines sun protection with anti-aging benefits.
Its hero ingredient, Bakuchiol, is often referred to as a plant-based alternative to retinol. Unlike traditional retinol, Bakuchiol does not increase photosensitivity, making it suitable for daytime use.
The formula is designed to help support smoother-looking skin while protecting against the UV exposure that contributes to visible signs of aging.
SGS-Tested and Korean-Formulated for Everyday Protection
One of the standout features of the new collection is its commitment to verified sun protection.
The four newly launched variants have undergone independent SPF testing by SGS Taiwan, a globally recognized testing and certification organization. Results confirmed SPF 50+ protection across the range.
In addition, every product in the collection is:
- Korean-formulated
- Paraben-free
- Cruelty-free
- Philippine FDA-notified
- Designed for tropical climates
- Lightweight with no white cast
This combination of skincare innovation and third-party testing provides consumers with greater confidence in their daily sun care routine.
Making Premium Sun Protection More Accessible
As awareness about sun protection continues to grow, skincare consumers are increasingly looking for products that offer both effectiveness and convenience.
Denice Sy, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Ever Bilena Cosmetics and founder of Hello Glow, explained the brand's vision for the collection.
"Sunscreen is the single most important skincare step for Filipinos," she said. "We wanted every Filipino to be able to find their perfect sunscreen stick, one that works for their specific skin concern, not just a one-size-fits-all solution. The Hello Glow Sun Care Stick Collection is that answer."
Priced between ₱400 and ₱500, the collection aims to make high-performance sunscreen more accessible to Filipinos nationwide.
A Sunscreen Stick for Every Skin Type
With consumers becoming more intentional about their skincare choices, personalized products continue to gain popularity. Hello Glow's expanded Sun Care Stick Collection reflects this growing demand by offering targeted solutions for hydration, brightening, acne care, anti-aging, and everyday protection.
For Filipinos looking for a sunscreen that fits both their lifestyle and skin concerns, the new collection provides a practical way to stay protected while supporting overall skin health every day.
