So you can enjoy every ray of sunshine: Your new suncare line for a carefree summer

Enjoying the sun should feel effortless. Right? Without worrying whether you’ve thought of everything, and without any sticky compromises. That’s exactly why we developed our new suncare line with SPF. From your face to your body to your lips—and even for that soothing moment after sun exposure—we’ve thought of every step.

Because, especially in the summer, the right order makes all the difference. That’s why today we’re taking you through our complete summer routine. Step by step, with no hassle, so you can focus on the rest: enjoying every ray of sunshine to the fullest.

Start with your usual basic skincare: a gentle cleanser and, depending on your mood, a serum of your choice. Our two absolute favorites for this are our micellar water and our anti-aging serum. The only important thing is the order: first your skincare, then sunscreen on top. And this is exactly where our routine begins—with protection for your face.

Step 1: Gentle protection for your face with HIVE PROTECT Face Cream SPF 30

Your face is exposed to the sun every day, and the skin there is thinner and more sensitive than on the rest of your body. That’s exactly why we developedour HIVE PROTECT Face Cream SPF 30. A nourishing day cream and reliable sun protection in one step, specially formulated for sensitive and demanding skin.

What makes it special: The UV protection is purely mineral-based. Zinc oxide forms a fine film on your skin and reflects UV rays instead of absorbing them. It feels pleasantly gentle, works immediately after application, and is therefore ideal if your skin is prone to redness or reactions. The cream is deliberately free of fragrances, silicones, and parabens; it has been dermatologically tested and rated “Very Good,” and can be dispensed cleanly and easily from the hygienic airless pump. A handy bonus: The airless dispenser squeezes out every last gram, so nothing is left in the container. And of course, there’s a touch of the beehive in here too:

  • Royal jelly, rich in vitamins and nutrients, a true pampering ingredient for the skin.

  • Manuka honey MGO 500+, which intensely moisturizes and leaves the skin feeling soft.

  • Propolis, which wonderfully rounds out the skincare experience.

Added to this are Damask rose water and jojoba oil for a pleasant, balanced skin feel, as well as carnosine and vitamin E—two high-quality active ingredients that protect your skin from free radicals caused by environmental factors. The texture is light and absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy shine. This way, your face is both nourished and protected first thing in the morning.

Step 2: All-around protection for your body and face with the HIVE PROTECT Sun Spray SPF 50+

Now comes the ultimate all-rounder. Our HIVE PROTECT Sun Spray SPF 50+ is designed for everything else the sun hits: arms, shoulders, décolletage, legs, and back. And when you’re on the go and need a quick application, you can also spray it on your face—especially for touch-ups throughout the day.

With SPF 50+ and a modern, broad-spectrum filter system, it reliably protects against UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent premature, UV-induced skin aging. One detail we’re particularly proud of: The spray is formulated to be reef-safe. It contains no octinoxate or oxybenzone—the very filters banned under the Hawaii Act 104 to protect coral reefs. Responsible sun protection for you and the ocean. Dermatologically tested and rated “Very Good,” and suitable for all skin types.

The formula is intentionally lightweight. It absorbs quickly, leaves no white film or sticky residue, and simply leaves your skin feeling pleasant and fresh. And a nice bonus: The spray gives your skin a subtle, summery glow. Since it’s a droped product, it naturally includes our favorites from the beehive:

  • Manuka honey MGO 500+, which moisturizes and keeps the skin supple.

  • Royal jelly, rich in nutrients and nourishing, for a soft, supple feel.

  • Vitamin E and resveratrol, two antioxidant ingredients that round out the formula.

It’s that easy: Shake briefly before use, spray generously from a distance of about 20 to 30 cm, and spread evenly. “Generously” is the key word here, because you’ll only achieve full protection if you use enough product. And don’t forget: reapply regularly throughout the day, especially after swimming, sweating, or drying off.

Step 3: The extra step for your lips with SUN BALM

There’s one area we almost always forget: our lips. Yet they’re among the most sensitive areas of skin—paper-thin and completely lacking their own UV protection. That’s exactly why we created our SUN BALM, a tinted lip balm with SPF 50+.

A quick pump here and there, and your lips are protected, nourished, and given a hint of summery glow with its soft, berry-toned rosé-nude shade. It’s not a heavy lipstick—more of a delicate, natural sheen that makes your lips look fresh and well-cared-for. With royal jelly, manuka honey, and beeswax, your lips stay soft and supple even after a long day in the sun. SUN BALM has also been dermatologically tested and rated “Very Good.”

And then there’s the delicate vanilla scent, which is somewhat reminiscent of creamy summer ice cream and makes reapplying it almost feel like a little ritual. Which is perfect, because your lips need fresh protection throughout the day, especially after eating, drinking, or taking a dip in the water.

Step 4: The soothing finale after sun exposure with HIVE RECOVER After Sun Lotion

After a long day in the sun, your skin deserves something special. This is exactly where our HIVE RECOVER After Sun Lotioncomes in—the nourishing finale to your summer routine, best applied in the evening after showering.

Aloe vera and cucumber extract provide a pleasantly cooling, refreshing effect on sun-exposed skin. Hyaluronic acid, ectoine, and panthenol deliver intense hydration and help lock it in, while almond oil and shea butter leave your skin soft and supple. And of course, the power of bees is a must:

  • Royal jelly, rich in nutrients and nourishing for sun-stressed summer skin.

  • Highly concentrated propolis rounds out the formula and leaves the skin feeling soothed.

Perhaps the best part is the scent. A delicate, fruity peach-blossom note—juicy peach on a soft, floral bed—that immediately evokes blooming orchards in summer. The scent is intentionally light and subtle, so it brings that summery vibe to your skin without being overpowering. The light texture absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue, and leaves your skin feeling fresh and nourished. And like the rest of the line, HIVE RECOVER has been dermatologically tested and rated “Very Good.” The perfect way to end a summer day.

Protected and nourished all summer long

And there you have it—your summer routine from head to lips. First, your usual skincare routine, then the HIVE PROTECT Face Cream for gentle protection on your face, the HIVE PROTECT Sun Spray as an all-around solution for your body, the SUN BALM for your lips throughout the day, and in the evening, the HIVE RECOVER for a soothing moment after sun exposure. It doesn’t take much effort, but it makes a big difference for your skin.

This way, you can enjoy summer to the fullest while your skin is fully protected and nourished all day long.
