The challenge

A Global SPF Brand Needed More Than a Standard Storefront

Supergoop! has established itself as one of the most recognizable SPF-focused skincare brands in the US market, offering a wide range of sunscreen and SPF-infused skincare products. The storefront demanded a level of sophistication well beyond a traditional ecommerce setup.

Complex Product Ecosystem

With a large and growing catalog spanning multiple SPF formats, the storefront needed robust product categorization, dynamic merchandising, and seamless discovery paths — all while supporting subscription-based purchasing flows and educational content integration.

Performance Under Pressure

The experience required maintaining high performance while handling rich visuals, promotional messaging, and high customer engagement flows simultaneously.

  • Large product categorization across SPF formats
  • Mobile-first shopping behavior support
  • Subscription-based purchasing flows
  • Educational content integration
  • Promotional campaign flexibility
  • Smooth navigation across a growing catalog
