Anessa is a premium Japanese suncare brand developed by Shiseido in 1992, widely recognized as one of the leading authorities in sun protection. Known as the No. 1 suncare brand in Japan for over two decades, Anessa has built a strong reputation for combining advanced technology with skincare benefits to deliver high-performance UV protection.

At the core of Anessa’s philosophy is the concept of “suncare as skincare”, creating formulas that not only protect against harmful UV rays but also nourish, hydrate and strengthen the skin. This dual approach ensures that the skin remains healthy and resilient even under intense sun exposure.

Anessa is especially known for its cutting-edge UV protection technologies, including proprietary systems that enhance durability and effectiveness. Many of its sunscreens feature water-resistant and sweat-activated formulas, which become stronger when exposed to heat, water or perspiration, making them ideal for outdoor activities and humid climates.

The brand also incorporates skin-conditioning ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, collagen-supporting actives and botanical extracts, helping to maintain moisture, improve texture and prevent sun-induced dryness or damage.

Anessa offers a wide range of suncare products, including milks, gels, sprays and skincare-infused sunscreens, catering to different skin types and lifestyles. Its formulas are often lightweight, fast-absorbing and designed to leave minimal white cast, ensuring comfortable daily wear.

With its strong focus on innovation, durability and skin health, Anessa continues to set the standard for high-performance sunscreen, making it a trusted choice for those seeking reliable, long-lasting UV protection with added skincare benefits.
