When it comes to protecting our skin from the sun's harmful rays, we all want the best. But did you know that not all sunscreens are created equal? Many conventional sunscreens contain chemicals that can irritate the skin or harm the environment. So, what's the solution? Natural sunscreen.
At Sky & Sol, we believe in the power of nature to protect, heal, and nourish. That's why we're passionate about offering natural sunscreen options that are not only effective but also gentle on your skin and the planet. In this blog, we'll explore the benefits of natural sunscreen and why it’s the perfect choice for glowing, healthy skin.
Why Choose Natural Sunscreen?
Natural sunscreens are made with ingredients that come straight from nature—think zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and plant-based oils. These ingredients offer broad-spectrum protection without the harsh chemicals found in many traditional sunscreens. But the benefits go beyond just sun protection.
1. Gentle on Sensitive Skin
If you’ve ever experienced irritation or breakouts after using chemical sunscreens, you’re not alone. Many conventional sunscreens contain synthetic fragrances, parabens, and preservatives that can cause allergic reactions. Natural sunscreens, on the other hand, are formulated with gentle, non-toxic ingredients that are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
2. Eco-Friendly and Reef Safe
At Sky & Sol, we are committed to sustainability. Many chemical sunscreens contain ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which can harm marine life and coral reefs. Natural sunscreens, however, use mineral-based ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are reef-safe and less likely to contribute to environmental damage. Choosing a natural sunscreen helps protect not only your skin, but also the oceans we all love.
3. Nourishes Your Skin
Natural sunscreens do more than just protect your skin from the sun; they also nourish it. With plant-based oils like jojoba, coconut oil, and shea butter, these sunscreens hydrate and soothe your skin, leaving it soft and glowing. These ingredients are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids that support your skin’s natural barrier and keep it looking youthful.

How to Apply Natural Sunscreen for Maximum Glow
Applying natural sunscreen isn’t just about slathering it on—it’s about making sure your skin gets the maximum benefits. Here’s how you can achieve a healthy, glowing complexion while protecting your skin from the sun:
- Cleanse Your Skin: Start with a clean face and body. Use a gentle cleanser like our Nourishing Cleanser to remove impurities without stripping away natural oils.
- Hydrate: Moisturize your skin with a natural moisturizer before applying sunscreen. This helps lock in moisture and keeps your skin supple.
- Generously Apply Sunscreen: Use a generous amount of natural sunscreen and apply it evenly to your skin. Don’t forget areas that are often overlooked, like the ears, neck, and feet.
Reapply: Reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours or more frequently if swimming or sweating.
