That's why we built this around grass-fed tallow — the same fat ultra-marathoners use to prevent chafing — plus non-nano zinc oxide that stays put through sweat, water, and the toughest conditions.

SKY&SOL's Skin-Nurturing Shield Guarantee:
We stand behind the quality of what we make. We are so sure you will love how this product nourishes and protects that every order is covered by a 180-day, 100% satisfaction guarantee. If SKY&SOL does not meet your expectations within those first 180 days, you get a full refund — even if the bottle has already been opened and used!
Shipping Policy:
Sustainability guides everything we do at SKY&SOL — the products themselves and the way we run the business. Orders are processed within 1 business day, and standard delivery normally lands in 3-5 business days. Expedited shipping is available for selected locations.
Each bottle holds about 3 oz (85 g), which lasts most people 1-3 months depending on how often they apply. Used on the face alone, that works out to roughly 75 applications.
SPF 50 gives you more sun protection, though the formula is a little thicker and leaves slightly more white cast than our SPF 30. Pick whichever one matches your priorities.
Think UV is only a summer problem? Here's what athletes training outdoors don't realize:
Reflection multiplies your exposure
Altitude intensifies radiation
Trail runners, mountain bikers and climbers pick up roughly 10% more UV exposure with every 1,000 feet of elevation they gain.
Peak training = peak danger
Most athletes train between 10am and 2pm — precisely the window when UVA rays, the ones behind premature aging and skin cancer, hit hardest.
The reality: no amount of training outruns sun damage. What you can do is protect yourself against it without giving up performance.
UV Filters
Chemicals like Avobenzone and Oxybenzone that absorb into your skin.
Heavy sweating makes chemical filters absorb into your bloodstream faster — stacking up systemic exposure across long training blocks and race days.
OUR COMMITMENT:
Absolutely NO Chemical UV Filters
Highly Processed Seed-Oils
Highly processed oils from soybean, sunflower, safflower, etc. They generate damaging free radicals that harm the skin.
Oxidized plant oils + UV exposure + sweat = inflammation that slows recovery and damages skin's protective barrier.
OUR COMMITMENT:
Absolutely NO highly processed seed oils
Silicones
Potentially harmful silicone-based ingredients, like dimethicone or triethoxycaprylylsilane, used to improve texture.
Because your body is your equipment. Fuel it right, protect it right.
OUR COMMITMENT:
Absolutely NO silicones

Sky & Sol flips the script. We use pure ingredients you can pronounce and recognize—because your skin deserves safety, and your body deserves the best.
A nutrient-dense fat rendered from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle. Because it is bioidentical to the lipids your skin already makes, it sinks in deeply to nourish, moisturize and reinforce the skin barrier from the inside.
A mineral that occurs in nature and delivers broad-spectrum protection by resting on the surface of the skin. It physically bounces UVA and UVB rays away, staying exactly where your own barrier already sits.
Clean, purified water forms the gentle base of the formula. It carries the actives and the skin-friendly ingredients so they spread evenly across the areas that need them most.
A plant oil that behaves almost exactly like your skin's own sebum. It seals in moisture, keeps the formula stable and holds the texture smooth and light enough to wear every single day.
A plant-derived stabilizer made from sunflower seeds and purified so it carries no sunflower seed oil. It refines the texture of the formula while supporting your barrier and helping every ingredient work together.
A traditional Ayurvedic ingredient taken from the wood apple tree. Its natural tannins help settle the look of redness, support the barrier and defend skin against day-to-day environmental stress.
A silky plant powder from the Babassu palm of Brazil. It soaks up surplus oil and sweat without blocking pores, leaving a smooth, breathable finish that stays light even in heat and humidity.
Harvested from sustainable bee farms, beeswax builds a breathable shield on the surface of the skin. It helps hold moisture in and guards against dryness alongside the rest of the formula.
A plant-based preservative drawn from fermented radish root. Gentle but effective, it keeps the formula fresh and stable while working naturally with everything else we selected.
A potent antioxidant found in microalgae and regarded as one of the most protective nutrients in nature. It helps shield skin from everyday environmental stress and keeps the complexion looking healthy and youthful.
Made from nature’s purest ingredients, our sunscreen delivers deep nourishment and uncompromising sun protection— every season, every day.
We are not here just to be "low-impact" or "carbon-neutral."
We’re about doing more. Our mission is to help revive ecosystems that need a little love and bring them back to life.
So when you choose our sunscreen, you’re not just protecting your skin—you’re also making a real impact on the planet.
At Sky & Sol you have every right to know exactly what lands on your skin. In an industry full of hidden ingredients and half-truths, we stand for complete transparency you can trust.
That signature texture — and the absence of white cast — comes from our jojoba coated zinc oxide, made with purified, cold-pressed jojoba oil. The natural coating stops the zinc oxide from clumping.
The clumps are the cause for white residue and reduced SPF protection in natural mineral sunscreens.
Our ingredients hold the formula silky smooth, cut down white residue and let it block UV rays for longer. The jojoba comes from high-quality, cold-pressed jojoba oil so it stays rich in nutrients.
We also identified that tallow's high concentration of oleic acid is the key to a super moisturizing and white-cast free sunscreen.
From there we tracked down the ideal source of tallow for a silky-smooth application.
The overall effect? Over 92% of surveyed customers says that it has less white cast compared to other mineral sunscreens.
Right now we are the only natural sunscreen using this combination of ingredients.
With us there is no trade-off between safety, effectiveness and environmental responsibility. This is sun care that goes the extra mile for you and for the planet.
What to Expect From One 3 oz Bottle
Shoppers often judge a sunscreen by how long the bottle lasts, not only by what is inside it. Because Sky & Sol spreads smoothly and evenly, a single bottle typically covers weeks of regular use for one person or a whole family.
* Estimates are based on typical consumer use and may vary by individual, body size, application thickness, activity level, and reapplication
frequency. For FDA-recommended use, apply sunscreen generously and reapply at least every 2 hours, or after swimming, sweating, or towel
drying, as directed on the Drug Facts label.
Our gentle mineral formula was designed with eyes in mind. Where chemical sunscreens can burn, zinc oxide stays on the surface of the skin and does not migrate into your eyes with sweat.
No. The babassu starch in the formula soaks up excess oil, so you get a matte, grippy finish instead of the greasy film traditional sunscreens leave behind.
80 minutes of continuous sweat and water resistance. For ultra-endurance efforts that run past 2 hours, reapply at the 80-minute mark.
Absolutely. Snow bounces back up to 80% of UV rays, which makes protection a year-round job. Our formula will not freeze, separate or turn hard to spread in the cold.
If it does not hold up through your hardest training — or if you are not completely confident in the formula — we refund you. No questions asked.
No — and that is not what it is there for. The UV shield is non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral filter that sits on top of the skin and physically blocks UVA and UVB. Tallow's job is to nourish and support the barrier so it stays healthy, hydrated and resilient in the sun.
Because it is the safest and most effective way to block UV rays without being absorbed into your bloodstream. Non-nano zinc oxide stays on the surface and forms a physical barrier against UVA and UVB. It is reef-safe, gentle on sensitive skin and free of the health concerns tied to chemical filters.
Tallow carries a long list of skin-loving properties. It is packed with vitamins A, D, E and K, all excellent for skin health, and it closely resembles the oils skin makes on its own, so it absorbs well and helps build a healthy barrier.
It is also one of the most environmentally friendly ingredients available. Grass-fed tallow is produced with no pesticides, no fertilizers and no industrial processing.
And for anyone who assumes this means animals are killed for it: no rainforest or land is cleared the way it is for seed oils, and most tallow is simply discarded — repurposing it cuts waste.
There is ZERO risk of Mad Cow Disease. We source our tallow from Australia which has no record of the disease.
Additionally, our tallow goes through a rigorous purification process that removes proteins and other impurities.
It comes from regenerative pastures in Australia where cattle are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished and the fields are never sprayed with pesticides. That approach rebuilds soil health, captures carbon and keeps the tallow pure and free of toxins.
We purify our tallow through Wet Rendering, a process that uses only water and mild natural substances such as baking soda — no harsh chemicals, no toxic solvents like hexane. Keeping the temperature low preserves the nutrients and vitamins and leaves no lingering beef smell.
Customers describe it as a rich, spreadable cream. It leaves the skin feeling nourished rather than greasy.
It is water-resistant, which is exactly why it stays put and keeps protecting you. A sunscreen that rinses away in seconds probably is not doing its job. To take it off, use an oil-based cleanser or a gentle scrub with soap and water.
Of course. It is non-greasy and absorbs beautifully, which makes it a great primer under makeup. It also plays well with the rest of your routine, vitamin C or moisturizer included — in fact it doubles as a solid moisturizer itself.
Absolutely. It is formulated for broad-spectrum protection, meaning it shields skin from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA ages skin prematurely with wrinkles and age spots; UVB burns it. Too much of either can lead to skin cancer. Our active ingredient, non-nano zinc oxide, blocks both types highly effectively and is recommended by the FDA for its safety and performance.
Sky and Sol sunscreen is formulated to be non-comedogenic, so it will not clog pores. Tallow closely mirrors the structure of the oils your skin already produces, which is why it absorbs so readily and behaves so well. Everyone's skin is different, though, so we always recommend a patch test with any new cosmetic.
Reapply every 2 hours while you are in the sun. If you have been swimming or sweating, reapply right after towel drying. It holds up for as much as 90 minutes in water.
Our sunscreen is refined to remove any impurities that may cause insect attraction.
Yes. For the full details, click here.
The expiry date is printed on the back of the product. Stored properly — somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and heat — it keeps for three years. Since we skip synthetic preservatives, freshness does depend on storage. Once opened, use it within 12 months for the best experience.
Mixing method, zinc oxide particle size and final texture all swing SPF dramatically. With a homemade sunscreen you simply do not know what level of protection you end up with — and when the stakes include skin cancer, guessing is not good enough.
Yes! This specific tube is TSA-compliant and travel-sized, so you can safely pack it in your carry-on.
We stand behind the quality of what we make. We are so confident you will love how nourishing and protective this product is that every order carries a 180-day, 100% satisfaction guarantee. If Sky and Sol falls short of your expectations within those first 180 days of use, just send it back — even if the product is used - and we will issue a full refund.
All reviewers received compensation, regardless of whether their review was positive or negative. • Results may vary
I've tried many mineral based sunscreen products and this one is by far the best. I love how it feels on the skin and doesn't leave that white film on the skin like other products.
Like the better price for purchasing multiples.
Awesome mineral sunscreen with very minimal white cast. Make bigger tubes please!! This stuff rocks!
No white cast
I really like how Sky and Sol feels. There is no fragrance, and it disappears on the skin really fast.
The product is great
Holds up in activities in the southern sun!
Ingredients clearly listed
Great sunscreen for kids that love the water. I just wish it came in a much larger bottle. It goes fast.
Clean and safe ingredients
This stuff is thick and creamy, blends easily and so far has protected my skin very well. I haven't used it yet for a pool or beach day, but it's worked well for running and working outside.
The product works
I live in Arizona where the sun is intense. I applied this sunscreen and spent hours working outside. I probably should have reapplied it at some point but I didn't and just hoped for the best. It stayed put and I had no burn whatsoever. It disappears when you apply it with no white residue. Will definitely continue using it!
The product arrived quickly. The price point is relatively high but the ingredients are what makes it worth the cost.
I like Sky and Sol sunscreen. It is healthy for my skin. It provides really good coverage without making my skin white.
All of it
Played multiple matches in direct sun and never felt eye sting or slippery hands. Definitely feels made for athletes.
I have acne prone skin and many sports sunscreens clog my pores. This one stayed breathable and didn’t cause irritation.
