From the pioneer in sunscreen science, Neutrogena® introduces K-Beauty inspired sunscreen featuring BEMT, the first new FDA-approved sunscreen filter in over 25 years.

• Neutrogena is launching Cloud-Tech™, a new sunscreen technology featuring bemotrizinol (BEMT), the first new FDA-approved sunscreen filter in over 25 years.
• Cloud-Tech™ delivers comprehensive UVA/UVB coverage and clinically proven skincare ingredients for sunscreen that feels and blends like skincare.
• The new technology will be available in 2 new sunscreens, Neutrogena® Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 60 and Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer Daily Face Sunscreen SPF 70.

SUMMIT, N.J., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For over 40 years, Neutrogena has made sun protection more accessible by advancing daily use and safer sun habits through innovation, partnerships and education. Now, Neutrogena is launching Cloud-Tech™, a new sunscreen technology featuring bemotrizinol (BEMT), the first new FDA-approved sunscreen filter in over 25 years, to deliver next-generation sun protection. The new technology will be available in 2 new sunscreens, Neutrogena® Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 60 and Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer Daily Face Sunscreen SPF 70.

This advancement comes as people seek both stronger protection and a better product experience that would make daily facial sunscreen use more appealing. Yet higher-SPF sunscreens often require more filters, which can create heavier textures and a less comfortable finish, leading some consumers to underapply or avoid them altogether.

“Cloud-Tech™ was inspired by the K-beauty sunscreens consumers love and the experience they increasingly expect from daily sun protection,” said Chris Riat, Global Neutrogena Brand Leader. “As a leader in suncare, Neutrogena has a responsibility to keep advancing the category. This launch reflects how we are challenging outdated expectations and delivering the high-level protection consumers need in a formula they will want to wear every day.”

Key Facts About Neutrogena® Cloud-Tech™ technology

• Comprehensive Coverage: BEMT, the first new UV filter approved in the U.S. in over 25 years, drives higher UVA protection than non-BEMT filters, but at approved concentrations of up to 6%, requires additional filters for comprehensive UVA and UVB coverage. Cloud-Tech™ combines BEMT with existing filters in Neutrogena’s proprietary Helioplex360™ technology for stronger protection.
• Weightless Feel: Inspired by the filter used in K-beauty sunscreens, BEMT delivers a weightless, invisible texture that feels like a soft cloud on skin. The formulas are fast-drying and provide a silk finish for sunscreen that feels and blends like skincare.
• Clinically Proven Skincare Ingredients: For the first time, Neutrogena is combining sunscreen with ingredients like its patented Micro-Peptide Technology and niacinamide to address targeted concerns such as visible signs of aging and acne-prone skin.

Advancing Safer Sun Habits
As the #1 sunscreen brand in the U.S.¹, Neutrogena is leading the future of sunscreen with breakthrough science, clinically backed innovation and advocacy efforts that support safe sun habits, including daily sunscreen application.

Most recently, in partnership with the Melanoma Research Foundation, Neutrogena convened a Sun Consensus Meeting that brought together public health experts, policymakers, clinicians, researchers, advocates and media to discuss the latest science in skin cancer prevention and identify opportunities to advance public health guidance and regulatory progress.

Bringing this continued commitment to consumers, Neutrogena® Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 60 and Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer Daily Face Sunscreen SPF 70 are now available on amazon.com and will be available at retailers nationwide soon.
