Black Girl Sunscreen

We know you have an amazing summer planned. Let us protect your skin while you live it up in the sun! #BlackGirlSunscreen

Black Girl Sunscreen

No one wants to be ashy on their vacay (or in life). Shontay Lunay changed the sunscreen game for women of color with Black Girl Sunscreen ($18.99, BlackGirlSunscreen.com) . It’s an SPF 30 sunscreen that became a cult beauty fave thanks to it’s ability to not leave a chalky white residue on black skin like a ton of other sunscreens do. It absorbs quickly, is super moisturizing, and dries clear thanks to its natural formula and ingredients like shea butter, sunflower seed oil, carrot oil and jojoba.
