Rated 100/100 on Yuka, this new Typology sunscreen serum helps your tan last longer and is already winning over French women
What if a single product could both prepare the skin for the sun and enhance its natural tan? This sunscreen serum from Typology delivers on both promises, and French women already seem to have fallen for it this summer of 2026.
A two-phase treatment that redefines tanning
Typology has just launched L54 Serum, a sunscreen serum with SPF 30 that stimulates and prolongs your natural tan while protecting your skin from UVA and UVB rays. This product is a cross between sunscreen and a tan extender. It is applied in the morning, after cleansing the skin.
What sets this product apart is, first and foremost, its composition. The formula is made up of more than 80% naturally derived ingredients. In addition, it has a score of 100/100 on the Yuka platform—a rare achievement that attests to the quality of the active ingredients selected.
As a result, this product fits easily into a daily routine without compromising on effectiveness or gentleness on the skin. Its light texture also makes it easy to use every day.
Targeted ingredients for a deeper tan
The L54 Serum relies on three key active ingredients.Inositol stimulates melanin production, helping to intensify and prolong your natural tan. It is this active ingredient that sets it apart from a standard sunscreen.
The formula also containsburiti oil, which is rich in carotenoids. It helps protect the skin from free radicals generated by UV exposure, which contribute to premature skin aging. Finally,karanja oil provides nourishing and soothing properties to help maintain the balance of the skin barrier.
“L54 Serum uses a two-phase formulation to mimic the skin’s natural structure. The active ingredients are separated into two phases, thereby mimicking the hydrolipidic film present on the surface of the epidermis. The aqueous phase contains inositol, which stimulates tanning, while the oily phase is concentrated with protective sun filters and karanja and buriti oils, both of which possess antioxidant properties. “This biomimetic approach offers excellent skin affinity and a lighter texture than a traditional sunscreen oil, making it easier to incorporate into a daily skincare routine.” — Pauline Morin, chemical engineer
Why the two-phase texture makes all the difference
This sunscreen serum has a two-phase formulation, designed to mimic the skin’s natural hydrolipidic film. This structure separates the active ingredients into two distinct phases, optimizing their respective actions. As a result, each component acts where it is most effective.
The water-based phase contains a high concentration of inositol, a tanning agent. The oil-based phase, meanwhile, contains the four organic filters and plant oils with antioxidant properties. This separation also results in a lighter texture than that of a traditional sunscreen oil.

No white residue thanks to the organic filters
The product contains four different organic filters. This combination allows the formula to blend seamlessly into the skin without leaving a white cast. This is often the main obstacle to using sunscreen on a daily basis, and Typology has clearly taken this issue seriously.
Compared to a standard sunscreen oil, this serum offers a much more pleasant sensory experience. It is suitable for both combination and dry skin, thanks to the soothing and nourishing active ingredients in the formula.
