There are plenty of things Australians are good at. Remembering to reapply sunscreen every two hours is not always one of them.
That is exactly the problem Outside Beauty & Skincare is trying to solve.
Founded in Australia by sisters Maddison Brown and Allyson Popovic, Outside Beauty & Skincare was created around a simple idea: if sunscreen is going to be part of our lives every day, it should feel less like an obligation and more like a beauty product you genuinely enjoy using.
The result is a tightly edited range of SPF50+ formulas that sit somewhere between skincare, makeup and sun protection. Think moisturising face cream, portable face mist and tinted lip-to-cheek colour, all designed to make daily SPF feel easier, more intuitive and considerably less boring.
It is sun protection for people who already care about beauty, rather than something that asks you to abandon your routine in the name of practicality.

Your Everyday Starting Point
If you are new to Outside Beauty & Skincare, start here.
The SPF50+ Face Crème is designed to bridge the gap between moisturiser and sunscreen, making it an easy final skincare step before makeup.
The texture is nourishing without feeling overly heavy, with ingredients including olive squalane and ceramide III helping to give the formula a more skincare-like feel.
One of the biggest barriers to consistent sunscreen use is simply not liking the product on your face. If it feels greasy, pills under makeup or leaves skin uncomfortable, it is remarkably easy to start finding reasons not to wear it.
Outside Beauty & Skincare’s Face Crème makes the daily step feel much closer to applying your favourite moisturiser.
For anyone trying to streamline their morning routine, that is exactly the point.

Because Reapplication Is the Hard Part
Putting sunscreen on in the morning is one thing. Remembering it again at lunchtime is another.
The SPF50+ Face Mist tackles the part of sun protection that often falls apart once we leave the house. The portable format is designed to make topping up throughout the day more convenient, whether you are heading out for lunch, sitting outside or moving between work and the rest of your day.
It's the sort of product that makes the most sense once it lives permanently in your handbag.
And while no mist can magically make sunscreen reapplication completely effortless, changing the format can remove a lot of friction. There is no need to start your skincare routine over. No tube of cream to wrestle with when you are already wearing makeup. No excuse that your sunscreen is sitting at home in the bathroom.
Sometimes better beauty routines are less about discipline and more about making the right thing easier to do.

Colour Meets Protection
This is where Outside Beauty & Skincare gets particularly interesting.
The SPF50+ Lip to Cheek combines sun protection with sheer, buildable colour in a balm-like format designed for both lips and cheeks.
It is exactly the kind of hybrid product that earns its place in a handbag: part makeup, part SPF and part quick fix when your face needs a little life.
The lips are also one of those areas that are very easy to forget when it comes to sun protection, despite being exposed almost constantly. Turning SPF into something you would already reach for because you want colour makes the habit much easier to maintain.
At Vault, we like applying a small amount first and building from there. The texture sits somewhere between balm and lipstick, and a lip brush can give you a little more control if you want a neater application.
The appeal is simple: protection does not have to look medicinal.

A Small Detail That Makes Sense
The Outside Beauty & Skincare Kabuki Brush might not be the headline product, but it speaks to the brand’s broader philosophy.
Remembering it again at lunchtime is another.
A brush that helps with application gives customers another way to make sunscreen feel like part of the rest of their beauty ritual, particularly when working with products that sit close to makeup.
It is a small thing, but Outside Beauty & Skincare understand that adherence is rarely about a single hero ingredient. It is about the total experience being easy enough to repeat.

We are drawn to beauty brands that solve a real problem without making the solution feel worthy or overcomplicated.
Outside Beauty & Skincare does exactly that. It takes something Australians already know they should be doing and asks a better question: how can we make this feel like a product people are genuinely excited to use?
The answer is not another lecture about SPF. It is better textures. Smarter formats. Good design. Products that work alongside the skincare and makeup already sitting on your bathroom shelf.
Outside Beauty & Skincare fits naturally into the way we think about beauty at Vault: practical, considered and discovery-led, with enough personality to make everyday routines more enjoyable.
Where to Start
If you are building an Outside Beauty & Skincare routine from scratch, we would start with the SPF50+ Face Crème for daily morning use, keep the SPF50+ Face Mist nearby for reapplication, and add the SPF50+ Lip to Cheek when you want colour and protection in the same step.
Vault also carries the Everyday SPF50+ Curated Set and Everyday SPF50+ Curated Duo for anyone who would rather build the routine in one go.
Because the best sunscreen is not simply the one with impressive packaging, good ingredients or a high SPF.
It is the one you actually use.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Sunscreen is only one part of sun protection. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and wear protective clothing, a hat and eyewear when exposed to the sun.
