Description

Black Girl Sunscreen for Kids is an everyday SPF 50 moisturizing sunscreen lotion for the face and body. Our FDA-approved sunscreen protects against harmful UVA/UVB rays and has eliminated all white residue. Soothes, moisturizes, protects, hydrates and heals your child's skin. Water resistant for 80 minutes. No fragrance. No Parabens. No silicones. No aluminum. Oxybenzone and octinoxate free means your child's broad spectrum sunscreen is environmentally friendly.


Our story begins with the need for a sunscreen brand that caters exclusively to women of color.


From carrying expensive umbrellas to the beach to avoiding the sunshine altogether, women of color have come up with their own methods of protecting their skin. For years, sunscreen has been tailored to light-skinned individuals, leaving behind a visible white residue on our darker-skinned sisters. Blotchy makeup and white residue were enough to keep people from truly enjoying a beautiful sunny day. Our founder thought it was about time to change that.


In 2016, Shontay Lundy created Black Girl Sunscreen, a 30 SPF lotion infused with natural ingredients and formulated for women of color. Made with melanated skin in mind, BGS dries completely clear and protects melanin without the white cast.


Today, Black Girl Sunscreen is making moves! Black Girl Sunscreen has grown exponentially because of you. The goal of BGS is to start the conversation globally around sun safety to educate and protect melanin beauties worldwide. Now with four products, we’re saying Black does crack and it’s in our power to protect it.

Q: Can this be used for colored 11-year-olds with oily skin?

submitted by Naula Isa - 6 years ago
  • A: Guys, Naula Isa is a Spanish name. It's also common in South America. These countries never had Jim Crow. The term "colored" is not offensive as it is in America. It just means brown or dark olive complexion. She just wants to know if she can use this on her daughter.

    submitted byTruthInAdvertising - 5 years ago
  • A: We are unsure of what "colored 11-year-old" means. However, BGS Kids SPF 50 can be used on melaninated skin ages 6 months and older.

    submitted byTeam BGS - 6 years ago
  • A: Homosalate is a chemical sunscreen and is recommended to be avoided by pregnant women and CHILDREN due to its harmful effects . SMH this has 15% homosalate. Do better.

    submitted byDo your Research - 2 years ago
  • A: If you mean POC yes...colored should not be a word used to describe melaninated skin.

submitted by Cindy - 5 years ago
  • A: Hi Cindy, BGS Kids is not Tear-Free. However, we have not received any feedback indicating that is an issue. Hope this helps!

    submitted byTeam BGS - 5 years ago

    Best Sunscreen

    This is the only sunscreen I can use that doesn't break me out. I was using the original black girl sunscreen, but I kept breaking out with bumps. Someone suggested using the kids version and I haven't had any issues since. Lightweight and no scent. Great price.

    Wonderful!

    I absolutely adore this sunscreen. I have mixed race kids with sensitive skin so finding something that works for them has been a lot of trial and error. This sunscreen goes on so easily, with no white cast at all on their medium brown skin tone! My 5 year old twins and 2 year old don't even complain about having to put it on! A total win, in my book!

    Simple the best

    This has been the only sunscreen I've used over the past few years. I happily go through tubes of it in sunny Houston, Texas and whenever I go anywhere else. It's moisturizing without being greasy, stays out of my eyes, and keeps me protected. Please do not change the formula or worse stop making it. I plan to be a loyal customer for decades to come.

    Acne and bumps.

    Texture is great. Makes face a little oily. Gave my child bumps on face. Gave me acne. Unfortunate. ! Not a mineral Sunscreen even though this always comes up when you google “kids mineral sunscreen with no white cast “. Will continue to use the remaining sunscreen on rest of body except face.

    Best for normal to dry skin

    Probably the best sunscreen but you will look like a glazed donut. I’m sorry, not for my oily boys and girls out there. I mean the only way it would work if you have oily skin is that you have no acne and small pores cuz that’s kinda the only exception.

    The best spf on the market!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent, no cast, moisturizing, high-protection product. The shea butter really agrees with my skin-type and the filters do not irritate my eyes. The price is an excellent value and the larger size is good for all-over application.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's true. . . no white residue!! I was very excited and pleased about this. For so long I have purchased and tried sunscreens making this claim only to be disappointed. Some of the brands tried were much more expensive than BGS. Never again. This is now my preferred product and will continue to be.
