What happens after it goes on your skin?

Most sunscreens in store rely on chemical UV filters, all of which absorb into your bloodstream. Some remained above the FDA’s threshold for additional safety testing for up to 21 DAYS!

These chemicals have raised concerns about hormone disruption and reproductive and developmental effects. The FDA says oxybenzone may affect the human endocrine system, and European safety reviewers concluded that homosalate was not safe at the concentration previously evaluated.

Why repeatedly expose your body to ingredients surrounded by unresolved safety concerns when you don’t have to? Simple Sunscreen uses a mineral barrier to reflect the sun with clean ingredients you can actually pronounce.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Simple Sunscreen different?

It gives you broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection with 25% zinc oxide, a ten-ingredient formula you can actually read, no harmful ingredients, and no white cast. It’s effective sunscreen without the long label of mystery ingredients.

Will it leave a white cast?

No white cast when applied as directed. Start with a thin layer, blend it in, then add more until you have full, even coverage. Because the formula contains 25% zinc oxide, a little goes farther than you may expect.

What’s actually in it?

Just ten ingredients: zinc oxide, beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, candelilla wax, jojoba oil, arrowroot powder, olive oil, propolis, and tallow. No scavenger hunt. No ingredient list you need a chemistry degree to decode.

How much sun protection does it provide?

Simple Sunscreen is broad-spectrum SPF 50 and water resistant for 80 minutes. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours, after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, and after towel-drying.

Does it contain oxybenzone or octinoxate?

No. Simple Sunscreen is free of oxybenzone and octinoxate and is compliant with Hawaii Act 104. You get mineral protection from 25% zinc oxide instead.

Is it vegan?

No, and we would rather tell you plainly. The formula contains tallow, beeswax, and propolis. If you avoid animal-derived ingredients, Simple Sunscreen may not be the right choice for you. If you value a short, transparent ingredient list, everything in the formula is listed above.

Which pack should I choose?

The 3-pack is the recommended value. It costs $69 instead of $87, brings the price down to $23 per can, and qualifies for free U.S. shipping. Keep one nearby, put another in the bag you actually take outside, and have a third ready for whoever forgot theirs.

Can I start with just one?

Absolutely. The 1-pack is $29 and is the simplest way to try the formula. But if you already know you want a sunscreen with SPF 50 mineral protection, no white cast, and a readable ingredient list, the 3-pack saves $18 and puts sunscreen in more than one useful place.

What gives me the best price per can?

The 5-pack offers the lowest quantity price: $99 total, or $19.80 each, compared with $29 for a single can. It saves $46 versus buying five individually and qualifies for free U.S. shipping.

Why is it packaged in an aluminum can?

The compact 2 fl. oz. (59 mL) can is easy to spot, stash, and pass around. It slides into bags, compartments, drawers, and pockets without the awkward shape of a typical sunscreen tube.

How quickly will my order arrive?

Our current average shipping time is 3–4 days. U.S. orders with a post-discount merchandise subtotal of $65 and over ship free; U.S. orders below $65 ship for $4.99. International shipping is calculated at checkout.

What is the return policy?

If you're not completely satisfied with Simple Sunscreen, let us know within 30 days and we'll make it right.

Made for the people we care about

Why we made Simple Sunscreen

A formula our own family could feel good about using.

If I couldn't put ‘normal’ sunscreen on my kids, I didn't want to absorb those things myself. The more we try to be healthy the more I notice things that probably aren't great for us, so we created a simple sunscreen that I feel confident my whole family can use.
