For those closely following along at home, you’ll know by now that Meghan Markle loves herself a bit of the luxe Japanese-based skin care label, Tatcha. So much so, in fact, that the Duchess of Sussex currently kicks off her skin care routine with the brand’s exfoliator, the Rice Polish Enzyme ($97, MECCA). And now, following Tatcha’s latest launch, we suspect it won’t be long before she’s completing her routine with one of their products too; specifically, the brand spanking new drop: The Silk Sunscreen.
In what may be the sunscreen’s most attractive feature, it claims to leave no chalky or white residue on the skin, a promise that has immediately set it apart from competitors. The lightweight SPF50+ has been designed as a multi-purpose product, set to replace your primer as it creates a smooth, sheer base under makeup, as well as a skin-nourishing serum, due to its inclusion of the skin care powerhouse ingredients hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.
Neither the sheer, nourishing nature of the formula, nor the high price tag (it’s currently selling for $60 USD which translates to approximately $84 AUD) come as much of a surprise. However, if Tatcha’s SPF can successfully replace the need for particular serums and a primer, (according to research conducted by the brand, 95 percent of participants using The Silk Sunscreen noticed an improvement in their skin texture) then the price tag seems justified, reasonable even.
Now for the bad news. There’s no sign of Tatcha’s The Silk Sunscreen available in Australia – as of yet. However, we’re going to sit tight while we wait for it to hit our shores. Stay tuned.
What do you think about Tatcha’s Silk Sunscreen? Would you pay $84 for an SPF?
The sunscreen sounds great. I can’t afford $84 though.
That’s exactly what I was thinking too!
This sounds lovely but no I wouldn’t look at it at that price.
I have used a couple of Tatcha products, they are nice but very expensive. I won’t be spending this amount of money on a face sunscreen.
Found the brand overrated and not that great (insane marketing as usual by [anti] social media). But that sunscreen looks good. Mineral based and in purple , pretty inviting.
agree so over rated
Though not available here in Australia, hopefully we’ll see some creative Aussie make one that is atleast as good (a dupe they say) and make it available to all Aussies.
I’ve heard about the brand before but have never tried anything from their range
Yeah just saw the price tag. No thanks, you can get really good SPF 50+ without the high price
I use a tatcha facial cleanser and love it
Would love to try it and yes I would pay $84 just to see what it’s like.
Didn’t Meghan loose her Duchess of Sussex title when Harry decided to leave the Royal family?
I find Meghan will advertise anything for $$$ so I wouldn’t buy it. I would rather buy SPF made for Aussie harsh conditions.
It doesn’t interest me to try the brand unless it’s available for a much better price.
There are so many sunscreens on the market that do not leave a white cast and also have priming and serum qualities. I would never buy this. Tatcha is an overhyped brand. I have used its products in the past.
Too pricey for me.
Its quite expensive but if it worked as well as they say, it’d be worth it.
Way out of my price range.
My skin can’t absorb too many layers of product, so I only use primer if I’m going out at night. During the day, I always wear sunscreen, so I skip primer. I wouldn’t pay $84.
I wouldn’t pay this for a sunscreen. And I’m very happy using what I’m currently using because it works for me.
Way too expensive.
Too expensive for a sunscreen.
So expensive but I want it badly.
I wouldn’t pay that much for a spf.
Meghan Markle can afford such expensive Sunscreen and Skin Care Products, as well as Perfumes.
would not spend that on suncreen
