Coconut & Pineapple Sunscreen Body

The FDA regulates sunscreen as an over-the-counter drug. Isn’t that interesting? If you want to get nerdy about it: Currently 16 UV filters are listed as approved actives, 14 are organic filters commonly referred to as chemical filters, and 2 are inorganic filters commonly referred to as physical or mineral filters. A mineral sunscreen includes one or both of those two inorganic filters, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. All UV actives absorb UV rays, but mineral UV actives like Zinc oxide also scatter (reflect) UV rays. This means that mineral UV actives protect you in two ways, like a jacket that is both thick and wind breaking. You’re literally shining, as you should!

Native recommends using water resistant sunscreen when swimming or sweating. We are in the process of ensuring that our sunscreens deliver water resistance up to 80 minutes.

While you can apply both version of our sunscreen to your body & face, our face sunscreen was designed to be invisible under make-up & volunteer-testing helped confirm that. We also added a moisturizer, avocado oil, intended to condition your beautiful skin without any negatives. Finally, we packaged it in a unique tube & pump for easy, mess-free use (only 2-3 pumps needed at a time.)

We recommend 2-3 pumps of sunscreen for the face. For most adults we recommend about 1 ounce - or enough to fill a shot glass - to fully cover your body. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two hours.

Our sunscreen has an 18-month shelf life and the expiration date can be found in the crimp at the top of the tube. Our sunscreen tubes should not be exposed to direct sunlight, it is best to keep them in the shade or wrapped in a towel while outside for extended periods of time.

No application trade-offs! The Native mineral sunscreen is easier to rub in, many other mineral sunscreens are thick, tacky, and very difficult to rub in. Craftsmanship: a water-based blend of hand selected Zinc Oxide active, moisturizers, stabilizers, and Native fragrances.

We haven’t had any child or baby volunteer testers for our sunscreen products, so we recommend you consult with your pediatrician just to be safe!
