The brief
Why this existed.
Context
Cinere, a leading skincare brand, set out to make a bold statement in the crowded sunscreen market. Their wide product line—covering SPFs for women, men, and children in both tinted and non-tinted formulas—needed more than a functional introduction.
Challenge

Approach

a shadow. Just as a shadow follows us everywhere, Cinere sunscreen was positioned as an ever-present form of protection.

The result was a creative narrative that reframed sunscreen from a situational product into a constant guardian.
