When Georges Wurz, a leading industrialist, and Dr. Eugène Frezzatti, a highly skilled chemist and cosmetics expert, teamed up in 1946, they were light-years away from imagining the worldwide success that Lancaster would become.
With more than 70 years of experience, the brand from the French Riviera has drawn inspiration from the vibrant shimmering baths on its hillside to create innovative and effective skincare. That is, they can protect, maximize, and revitalize the skin’s radiance while allowing you to enjoy all the benefits of the sun.
The nominated supplier of Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Monaco
Before establishing itself as a reference in sun care in 1971, Lancaster was one of the skincare brands of choice of the eternal Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly. As the brand’s greatest ambassador, she trusted the brand to slow the signs of aging to allow her beauty to shine throughout her life.
Technological innovation
Committed to developing refined and sophisticated sun care, over time Lancaster has dedicated its research to decoding the solar spectrum and understanding its impact on the skin.
In this sense, the company stands out with a range of exclusive products to use before, during, and after sunbathing. Which, thanks to patented technologies, filter 100% of external light while enhancing, prolonging tanning, and preventing skin aging.

The most highly regarded technologies:
- Tan Activator Complex.
Based on orange, coffee, and buriti oil extracts, this complex, rich in antioxidants and emollient qualities, acts on different aspects of skin pigmentation. This way it favors melanin synthesis and prepares the skin for a faster and longer-lasting tan. As well as more radiant and uniform.
- Tan Inhibitor Complex.
Composed of a fantastic aromatic fusion, this will be the cause of the infamous golden tan. How? By regulating the production of melanin within the source and limiting its distribution. As a result, it offers an extraordinary anti-spot effect, as well as brighter skin and a more even complexion.
- Full Light Technology.
Sunlight is composed of four types of radiation. These are UVB, UVA, Visible Light, and Infrared. All of them have harmful effects on skin health.
In this sense, Lancaster developed the Full Light technology to not only safeguard the complexion from the four types of radiation but also to promote a sublime golden tan.
Ecological promise
In 2021 the French giant reformulated its products. Now, with a new vision, sun care is eco-responsible. In other words, cleaner, and ocean-friendly, but without compromising on efficacy or sensibility.
In that sense the formulas:
- Are water-resistant;
- Do not contain water-soluble sun filters
- In the Sun Sensitive range they are free of Oxybenzone, Octocrylène, Homosalate, and Octinoxate filters;
- Are Vegan;
- Respect the integrity of coral cells.
