Natural Sunscreen

What is natural sunscreen?

Natural sunscreen usually refers to sunscreen made with a mineral UV filter, such as zinc oxide, and a formula focused on naturally derived ingredients. A natural zinc sunscreen uses zinc oxide as its active UV filter.

What makes Sky and Sol sunscreen natural?

Sky and Sol uses 25% non-nano zinc oxide as its active mineral ingredient and grass-fed tallow as a moisturizing base. Its beef tallow sunscreen formulas are fragrance-free.

Is natural sunscreen the same as mineral sunscreen?

The terms often overlap, but they do not mean exactly the same thing. Mineral sunscreen describes the type of active UV filter used. Natural sunscreen is a broader term that can refer to the rest of the formula.

Does natural sunscreen provide broad-spectrum protection?

It can when the product is formulated and labeled for broad-spectrum protection. Sky and Sol offers broad-spectrum SPF 30 and SPF 50 formulas that help protect against UVA and UVB rays.

Is Sky and Sol an organic or all natural sunscreen?

Sky and Sol uses a mineral UV filter and selected naturally derived ingredients, including grass-fed tallow. These terms can mean different things, so check each product's full ingredient list and certifications rather than assuming the entire formula is certified organic.

Does natural mineral sunscreen leave a white cast?

Zinc oxide sunscreens can leave visible residue, particularly when too much is applied at once. Sky and Sol's Anti-White-Cast technology helps its natural mineral sunscreen blend more easily. Results can vary by skin tone and application.

Can I use natural sunscreen on my face?

Yes. Sky and Sol offers natural sunscreen formulas intended for use on the face and body. Apply face sunscreen evenly and follow the product label for reapplication.
