David and Victoria Beckham are enjoying a summer holiday aboard their custom superyacht in the Balearic Islands, with sightings in Ibiza and Formentera. The 52-year-old fashion designer has been photographed sunbathing on deck in a black bandeau mini dress and navy baseball cap, sparking speculation about her choice of sun protection.
Beauty experts suggest Victoria may be using Augustinus Bader’s The Solar Shield SPF 50, the brand’s first body sunscreen. Victoria has a longstanding relationship with the luxury skincare label, having collaborated on makeup products and used its products for her Autumn/Winter 2019 fashion show to give models radiant skin.
The Solar Shield SPF 50 combines sun protection with skincare ingredients, including wild rosella extract to strengthen the skin barrier and osmanthus flower extract for antioxidant protection. It is clinically proven to maintain SPF 50 protection even after contact with sand and is Hawaiian Reef Bill Compliant, free from certain chemical filters.
A writer for the original article tested the product on a trip to the Amalfi Coast, reporting it kept fair skin burn-free over several hours of direct sunlight and felt nourishing, soothing irritated skin. The sunscreen is priced as a luxury item, reflecting Augustinus Bader’s premium positioning.
