What makes Tage sunscreen different?
Tage puts texture and everyday comfort at the centre of sun protection. Its CICA-TREE range offers different finishes for different preferences, from refreshing serum textures to lightweight gels and sun sticks. Selected formulas feature ingredients familiar to K-beauty fans, including centella asiatica, tea tree leaf water and niacinamide.

Why sunscreen texture matters in South Africa
From sunny commutes to weekends outdoors, sun protection is a year-round skincare essential. A sunscreen you enjoy wearing is one you're more likely to use consistently. With South Africa's diverse skin tones and concerns about visible white cast, pigmentation and heavy textures, having options really matters.
Apply a generous, even layer of broad-spectrum sunscreen before UV exposure, and reapply about every two hours outdoors, as well as after swimming or sweating. Add shade, hats and protective clothing whenever possible.
