My Crunchy Mom Friends Made Me Read My Sunscreen Label. I Switched the Same Day.

It started with one line I couldn't unsee.

Some of the most common sunscreen filters are restricted in Hawaii.

And I was rubbing them into my skin. Every. Single. Day.

Your skin is your body's largest organ. What you put on it daily is not a small decision.

So I did something I had never done before. I flipped my sunscreen over and read the label.

I couldn't pronounce half of it.

Thankfully, I have a lot of crunchy mom friends. When I asked what they use, they all said the same name.

Sky & Sol.

Here's what changed my mind:

Hawaii's Act 104 restricts the sale of sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate.

Then I read about Thailand. Since 2021, sunscreens with oxybenzone, octinoxate, and two other ingredients are banned inside its marine national parks. Get caught using one there, and you can be fined.

And the FDA? It has asked sunscreen makers for more data on most common chemical UV filters. Only two filters were proposed for its GRASE category: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

That's when it clicked. Sky & Sol's only UV filter is 25% non-nano zinc oxide. It sits on the surface of your skin rather than being absorbed into it.

Bright. Busy. Full of color and life.Places like Hawaii and Thailand restrict certain sunscreen ingredients out of concern for reefs exactly like this one.

I don't want anything from those lists in my beach bag.

Sky & Sol is formulated without reef-harming UV filters banned in Hawaii. No oxybenzone. No octinoxate. None of the four ingredients on Thailand's list. Just mineral protection.

This is the entire ingredient list. Right there on the tube.

Non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection. Grass-fed tallow, close to the oils your skin already makes, to help keep skin comfortable and moisturized. Cold-pressed jojoba for a smooth, lightweight feel.

Formulated without chemical UV filters, parabens, synthetic fragrance, or highly processed seed oils.

It's SPF 50. It's 80-minute water resistant. It's dermatologist-approved. And it's one tube for my face, my shoulders, and my kids (kid-friendly from 6 months up).

"But doesn't mineral sunscreen leave you chalky?"

That was my one real fear. I'd tried mineral sunscreens before that left a white film I spent all day rubbing in.

Sky & Sol coats its zinc oxide in cold-pressed jojoba so the particles don't clump together. They call it Anti-White Cast Tech™.

Over 92% of surveyed customers said it leaves less white residue than other mineral sunscreens they've tried.

It blends in fast. I forget I'm wearing it.
