burnd Launches Tinted SPF 34, a 100% Mineral Sunscreen Formulated With Photolyase

Serious Protection, Skin-loving Science and a Sheer Tint Designed to Keep You Beautifully Covered and Corrected

NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- burnd, a doctor-developed, high-performance sun and skincare brand, today launched burnd Tinted SPF 34, a 100% mineral sunscreen formulated with photolyase. The new formula delivers serious broad spectrum UV protection with a subtle, complexion-enhancing tint, and opens a new chapter in burnd's mission to make high-performance sun care more effective, wearable and scientifically sophisticated.

The formula includes photolyase, an enzyme found throughout nature in plants, algae and many other organisms, and a subject of growing interest in sun care science.

"Protection comes first, and that doesn't change here," says Dr. Mark Mitchnick, co-founder of burnd, formulation scientist and inventor of transparent zinc oxide technology. "But we're always looking at what nature can teach us about sun care, and photolyase is one of the most interesting ingredients we've worked with."

UV exposure isn't just about the sunburn you can see; it causes damage to skin cells and DNA. Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging, which is why sunscreen on your face is essential year-round, not just during summer or on sunny days. When used as directed with other sun protection measures, a broad spectrum sunscreen helps decrease that risk. burnd Tinted SPF 34 makes that daily step easier, combining pure mineral sun protection with a subtle tint that blends seamlessly into your routine and feels more like a luxury moisturizer than a sunscreen. Its smooth, matte finish and sheer tint make it easy to wear and reapply throughout the day.

"Sunscreen shouldn't feel like a compromise," says Malachy Mitchnick, co-founder and CEO of burnd. "You should be able to get serious mineral protection, meaningful skincare technology and a finish you actually want to put on every morning. burnd Tinted SPF 34 is where sun care meets the way people really live."

burnd Tinted SPF is available now at getburnd.com and on amazon, retailing for $45.
