Ultra Violette Fave Screen SPF 50 is on the FDA register at 5% bemotrizinol
Ultra Violette filed the label for Fave Screen SPF 50 with the FDA on September 1, 2026. The filing is the first public statement of what is actually in the product: bemotrizinol 5%, avobenzone 3% and octisalate 5%. It also lists four package sizes, more than any other bemotrizinol sunscreen filed in the US so far.
The product is not for sale. The brand's US store lists it at $38 for 50 mL with a waitlist button, and the brand has said publicly that it launches in January 2027. That was still true when we re-checked on September 20 and October 1, 2026.
Updated September 20, 2026: Sephora now lists it, and the dates do not agree. Sephora shows the product at $38 for 1.7 fl oz/50 mL, out of stock, with the line "Available in app 12/23, all other platforms 12/24" - while the description on the same page says it is "Coming to Sephora in early 2027". The brand has said January 2027. On September 3 the product was not at Sephora at all.

Where to buy
Price and availability
- Ultra Violette US store - listed at $38.00 for 50 mL, marked "Coming soon" with a waitlist button. There is no add-to-cart.
- Sephora - not listed on September 3, 2026: a search for the brand returned 11 results and none of them was Fave Screen. On September 20 it was there, at $38 for 1.7 fl oz/50 mL, out of stock, badged "ONLY AT SEPHORA", with the coming-soon line above. The active ingredients Sephora prints match the label filed with the FDA. On October 1 it was still out of stock there, with the same lines.
- Amazon - not listed under the brand's name on September 3, 2026, and still not on September 20.
Checked September 3, 2026 and re-checked September 20 and October 1, 2026. The price above is what the store shows before the product goes on sale, and it can change at launch. We did not place an order, so we cannot confirm shipping cost.

What is in it
The filing lists three active ingredients, given as grams per 10 mL: bemotrizinol 0.5 g, avobenzone 0.3 g and octisalate 0.5 g. That is 5%, 3% and 5%.
Fave Screen shares no filters with Ultra Violette's other bemotrizinol product. Unblock Screen pairs bemotrizinol with octocrylene and zinc oxide; Fave Screen pairs it with avobenzone and octisalate and uses no mineral filter at all. The two are different formulas that happen to share one ingredient.
Where 5% sits
The FDA order permits bemotrizinol up to 6%. Every bemotrizinol sunscreen filed in the US so far has picked a different number.
| Product | This filingnew | Unblock Screen SPF 50 | Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Daily Face SPF 70 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bemotrizinol | 5% | 3% | 6% |
| Other filters | Avobenzone 3%, octisalate 5% | Octocrylene 6%, zinc oxide 10% | Avobenzone 3%, homosalate 15%, octisalate 5% |

The percentage is not a score. SPF comes from the whole formula and is set by testing, not calculated from one ingredient: Fave Screen and Unblock Screen are both labelled SPF 50 with very different filter sets. What the number does tell you is how much of the new filter each maker chose to use.
Four sizes is unusual
The filing lists 5 mL, 10 mL, 20 mL and 50 mL cartons. Unblock Screen was filed in two sizes and only the 50 mL reached the store. Neutrogena's two filings list a 40 mL bottle and a 14 mL tube each. Four sizes on one filing is the widest range any bemotrizinol product has been filed in so far.
A size on a filing is not a promise that the size will be sold. We record what was filed and check it against the store when the product appears.
Three launch dates, and they do not agree
As of September 20, 2026 there are three public statements about when Fave Screen goes on sale in the US, and they do not line up.
- The brand has said January 2027 in the press.
- Sephora's product page carries a coming-soon line reading "Available in app 12/23, all other platforms 12/24".
- The description on that same Sephora page says the product is "Coming to Sephora in early 2027".
That description also says Fave Screen will be the first product at Sephora to carry bemotrizinol. Sephora's own page for Unblock Screen, which also contains bemotrizinol, gave an online date of September 29, 2026, and Unblock Screen was in stock at Sephora on October 1.
We are recording what each page says on the day we read it. We do not know which date holds, and neither the brand nor Sephora has explained the difference.
What we could not confirm
- The on-sale date. The brand's own store still shows only a waitlist and no date, and the three public statements listed above do not agree with each other.
- Which of the four filed sizes will actually be sold, and at what prices.
- Whether the $38 shown before launch is the price it will sell at.
- Shipping cost. We did not go through checkout.
- Retailers other than the brand's store, Sephora and Amazon. We could not load Ulta's site on the day we checked.
