What is non-nano zinc oxide?

Zinc oxide is a mineral and the active ingredient in many mineral sunscreens. Unlike chemical sunscreens, it sits on the surface of your skin and protects by scattering, absorbing, and reflecting UV rays. Non-nano means the zinc particles are large enough that they won’t penetrate your skin or enter your bloodstream. This makes non-nano zinc oxide a safer, more skin-friendly option—especially for those concerned about absorption and long-term exposure!

Does this product contain oxybenzone?

Nope—our suncare line is completely free of chemical UV filters like oxybenzone, as well as parabens, sulfates, and PEGs. Just clean, mineral-based protection!

Yes! Our suncare line is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes—perfect for pool days, beach hangs, and sweaty workouts.

Does this offer blue light protection?

Yes! Our sunscreen offers some protection against blue light thanks to non-nano zinc oxide, which helps reflect and scatter not just UVA/UVB rays, but visible light too—including blue light. Plus, it’s packed with antioxidants like quercetin, sea buckthorn, and milk thistle to help defend against oxidative stress caused by environmental aggressors like blue light from the sun and screens.

What step should this be applied in my skincare routine?

All of our sunscreens use physical-blocking ingredients, so they should be applied as the final step in your morning skincare routine!

Moisturizing, full of antioxidants, never sticky. The fine mica gives a real glow — without making my face look like a disco ball.

Elena V.

Light and easy to apply, with a luminizing finish that reads like light makeup. Lasted me all summer — and the tube's biodegradable.

Finally, a daily SPF that doesn't smell like sunscreen. Light, moisturizing, and it leaves a gorgeous glowy shimmer. I'll absolutely repurchase.

I am looking forward to trying this product

I am looking forward to trying this product since I am having good outcomes with Mad Hippi so far

I have very dry and sensitive skin and i LOVE this sunscreen.

So good! Doesn't irritate my crazy sensitive skin at all. My only complaint is with the bottle-- the cap is really finicky about being screwed on correctly, so ill have put some sunscreen on my fingers, then go to put the cap back on the bottle, and it takes so much finagling and the formula is so runny that it can drip everywhere off my hands and out of the bottle if Im not careful. Maybe a flip top cap?
other than that, no complaints. it sits on the skin beautifully, and the little bit of glowy sparkle is so pretty-- i hesitated to even use the word sparkle, because its not glittery, just a subtle brightness. Will absolutely be repurchasing, and hoping that maybe a flip top cap can be added to it? but even without it, still a great product.

We love the Luminizing (Facial) SPF! Compared to other zinc sunscreens, this one is great for the face (and neck) because it goes on so light. It doesn't cake up and leave a white tracks. Highly recommend this product!

Excellent Skin Sun Protection

I just returned from 16 days in southern Italy and I used the sunscreen serum and lotion everyday. Despite hours of being put in the hot sun and at the beach my face did not burn at all and was well protected. I also used the sunscreen for my body while swimming and it is fantastic. I cannot recommend these products enough. I love this skin care line and I am 66 and want my skin to continue to look good. I also use it on my two grandchildren and it is gentle and lasts long.
