Ella & Jo Transform SPF Into An Effortless, Indulgent Step You’ll Never Want to Skip
Ella & Jo are redefining sun protection as a moment of indulgence. Founded by skin therapist Niamh Ryan and makeup artist Charlene Flanagan, the brand is built on the belief that skincare should feel like a ritual, never a chore. Nowhere is that philosophy more evident than with SPF – the step we all know we need, yet so often skip.
Their answer: two beautifully balanced products that combine skincare and SPF into one. Plump & Protect SPF 30 is a multitasking moisturiser that hydrates, protects, and primes, while the Invisible SPF mist SPF 30 refreshes and shields with a whisper-light veil on the go. Together, they elevate sun protection into a sensorial ritual, with an uplifting botanical scent that lingers softly on the skin.
Plump & Protect Day Cream SPF 30 – €38 / £34
Far more than a sunscreen, the multi-award-winning Plump & Protect Day Cream SPF 30 is a do-it-all moisturiser that melts into the skin, leaving it visibly plump, nourished and lit from within, before you’ve even reached for your makeup brush.
Powered by Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides and Glycerine, the rich yet weightless formula deeply hydrates, smooths fine lines and wraps the skin barrier in lasting comfort. Broad-spectrum SPF 30 with anti-blue light technology and anti-pollution protection shields the skin from UVA, UVB, digital screens and environmental stressors, while a patented pigmentation complex works to visibly reduce existing discolouration and prevent further sun-induced damage. It sinks in beautifully under makeup – apply as the final step of your morning ritual, and allow a few moments for the skin to drink it in.
Co-founder Charlene Flanagan describes it as her morning non-negotiable: “Applying Plump & Protect is one of my favourite morning moments – it’s a small step that really sets the tone for my day. It gives my skin a hydrated, plump, healthy glow, but also acts as the perfect base under makeup. I love that it’s doing the job of skincare and SPF, protecting against UV and daily environmental stress while helping my skin looking its best.”
Invisible SPF Mist SPF 30 – €32 / £29
For the handbag, the gym bag, the desk drawer – the Invisible SPF Mist SPF 30 is the top-up that goes wherever you do, and feels like an indulgence every time you reach for it.
A single spritz envelops skin in broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection – weightless, invisible, and utterly refreshing the moment it lands. It settles over makeup without disturbing a single layer, leaving behind nothing but a soft, dewy glow and the quiet confidence of protected skin.
Antioxidant-rich Goji and Acai Berry defend against pollution and blue light, calming Chamomile soothes and softens, and Glycerine locks in moisture for skin that stays hydrated, plump and radiant.
“Invisible SPF Mist is my favourite accessory for spring and summer – I literally go nowhere without it” explains co-founder, Niamh. “I love that I can top up my SPF over my makeup without affecting it – and it’s brilliant for protecting the often-forgotten neck and chest area too. A true handbag essential.”
Vegan, cruelty-free and pregnancy-friendly, this is SPF as it should always have been.
