Spoiler alert, mineral sunscreens protect us from the sun's rays in much the same way as chemical sunscreens do. But their differences are more than skin-deep...

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, “It only takes one blistering sunburn during childhood or adolescence to nearly double a person’s chance of developing melanoma.” Luckily, there are things you can do to protect your babies from sunburn, even when they’re tiny.

Here's what to look for in a sunscreen for you and your family.

In 2021, the US FDA called for more research in order to determine the safety of many common UV filters, declaring them "Not GRASE due to insufficient data." That doesn't mean the others are not safe, but it does mean there is enough research out there to raise questions. The good news? Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide have been found to be not only safe, but effective. GRASE!

Our sunscreen has arrived! And like many a proud Mama, I just want to share all the details leading up to its delivery. After months of fine-tuning our formula, it's everything we'd hoped for: easy-to-apply, actually clear, totally effective and pregnancy-safe. We absolutely love it, and know you will too.

All of our ingredients come from natural sources, either in their raw form or processed without chemicals or synthetic additives. But did you know 3/4 are good enough to eat? From calendula to zinc, our organic sunscreen ingredients are multitaskers for your skin... and in the kitchen!

100% natural, our Daily Tinted Mineral Sunscreen is packed with nourishing, skin-loving ingredients like jojoba, sunflower and calendula. Our reef-safe hero, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide, is one of only two UV blockers recommended in pregnancy and classified by the US FDA as safe and effective.

Pregnancy comes with a host of new skin challenges – increased sensitivity, increased likelihood of sunburn, dryness and itchiness, oiliness and acne, pigmentation – the list goes on! But it also comes with a new list of ingredients to avoid, to keep yourself and your bub safe.
