Sea Clearly® Hydrating Facial SPF 35 — Where Science Meets Sunlight
Every great skincare ritual begins with protection — but not all protection is created equal. Meet Sea Clearly® Hydrating Facial SPF 35, Sonrei’s next-generation sunscreen gel infused with Kinetin, a plant-based growth factor that supports visible skin rejuvenation.
Lightweight, translucent, and clinically informed — this is sunscreen elevated to skincare.
Taming Time with Kinetin
Skin aging is an inevitable, universal concern — one influenced as much by time as by sunlight. At Sonrei, our goal was to create more than protection; we set out to develop a sunscreen that actively supports the skin’s long-term vitality.
Ingredient Spotlight: Kinetin
What It Is:
Kinetin (N6-furfuryladenine) is a plant-derived growth factor — a molecule that helps regulate cell division and delay cellular aging. Originally studied for its ability to extend the lifespan of plant cells, it’s now recognized for its remarkable anti-aging potential in human skin.
What It Does:
-
Encourages collagen synthesis and elasticity restoration — helping skin appear firm and supple (Rattan, 1994).
-
Promotes cellular turnover, supporting smoother texture and healthy radiance (Sharma, 1995).
-
Helps reduce mottled pigmentation for a more uniform tone (Hussein et al., 2018).
-
Works synergistically with broad-spectrum UV filters to defend and renew simultaneously.
Beyond Anti-Aging:
Kinetin also acts as a potent antioxidant. Studies by Rattan & Clark (2005) show it helps reduce oxidative stress and cellular damage, while research by Han (2017) highlights its anti-inflammatory benefits for redness-prone skin, including rosacea. Paired with our SPF, Kinetin offers comprehensive defense against UV and environmental stressors — keeping skin calm, clear, and resilient.
Why We Love It:
Gentle yet powerful, Kinetin delivers visible rejuvenation without irritation — making it ideal for post-laser, facial, and other aesthetic treatments, as well as sensitive or reactive skin.
Formulated to be non-comedogenic, it offers protection that feels weightless, looks invisible, and performs beautifully. For those with highly acne-prone or congested skin, we recommend a quick patch test or consultation with your esthetician to ensure the perfect fit.
Crafted with Purpose
Our research into Kinetin inspired every step of the Sea Clearly® Hydrating Facial SPF 35 formulation. Guided by proven science, we set out to merge superior sun protection with meaningful skincare benefits — delivering one intelligent formula that defends, hydrates, and rejuvenates in a single step.
Designed for life under the sun, Sea Clearly® empowers you to protect your skin with confidence — and nurture its natural radiance every day.

Sun Damage Doesn’t Look the Same on Every Skin Tone
Sun damage doesn't look the same on every complexion. In Part 3 of our series, we explore how melanin changes the skin's response to sunlight, why some skin tones wrinkle later but experience more pigmentation, and what skin-cancer risk really looks like across different complexions.
What Is the Sun Actually Doing to Your Skin?
You don’t have to burn to experience sun damage. In Part 2 of our SPF series, we explore how UVA and UVB affect the skin, what cumulative exposure really means, and what the science says about photoaging, window light, and the ozone layer.
Why do we need sunscreen if our ancestors didn't wear it?
“Our ancestors didn't wear sunscreen” has become a popular argument against daily SPF—but it leaves out a surprising amount of history. From clothing and shade to red ochre and the evolution of human pigmentation, here's how humans have actually adapted to the sun.
