Description

Moisturize your face and body while protecting it from harmful UVA/UVB rays with the Black Girl Sunscreen. This sunscreen is broad spectrum with an SPF of 30. It blends effortlessly and eliminates all white cast. It is infused with natural ingredients such as avocado, jojoba, cacao, carrot juice and sunflower oil. These soothe, moisturize, protect, hydrate and heal skin.

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 all together, women of color have come up with their own methods of protecting their skin. For years, sunscreen has been tailored to light skin individuals, leaving behind a visible white-residue on our darker skin 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, BGS 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: Well if this isn’t racial division.

submitted by MollieMae - 4 years ago
  • A: You're ridiculous.

    submitted bySuperMama42 - 3 years ago
  • A: Its not. Its clearly formulated for use by more melanated individuals, by melanated individuals.. as opposed to the *other* sunscreen that does not offer the "Black Girl" prefix. Thankyouuuu

    submitted bybeesbites - 2 years ago
  • A: Black Girl Sunscreen protects people of ALL skin tones and helps to reach people of color who are more likely to skip sunscreen because most other brands leave a chalky residue on darker skin. I hope this helps!

    submitted byTeam BGS - 4 years ago
  • A: You're right, it isn't racial division -- it's introducing a product to fill a need that hasn't been filled before: sunscreen that doesn't make dark skin look chalky. Which means that people with darker-hued skin can protect themselves without having to sacrifice appearance, which wasn't a problem for lighter-hued people. Now we can all put our skin health first! Hooray for inclusivity! (recognizing factual differences isn't division ... it's only "division" if you apply qualitative judgements to them)

    My holy grail sunscreen

    Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
    Allyg90 - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
    I have had a troubled history with sunscreens. Of all of the ones that I've tried, they either leave a white cast, sensitize my skin, dry me out, or make me itchy. This is the only one that I've used that feels nice on my skin, gives me a nice glow on no-makeup days, and wears well under makeup. As someone with combo-normal skin, it can make me feel greasy sometimes, especially in really hot weather. Personally, I would proceed with caution if you have really oily skin, especially if you live in a hot environment. Aside from that, I quite enjoy it, and have used it faithfully for the past several years. I may try others in the future, but this is my staple for the time being.

    Amazing!! New staple in my skin care regimen. I added sunscreen to my regimen for a few reasons. I added a new product to help with a few stubborn acne scars and some eczema scars (a sunscreen is needed with that). I also have dry sensitive skin, but winter has been kicking my skins butt this year. So two bird with one stone. By itself, it is very moisturizing without being greasy. Paired with my actual moisturizer, they are perfect and layer so well. They give my skin the dewy look and feel. You don’t need a lot. Just a small squeeze and you’re good. 10/10 recommend!

    The title says it all. The sunscreen does exactly what I expected based on reviews and research. Just like many of the reviews mention the bottle is too small. I don't mind paying a premium for something that is quality but I do mind having to buy several at one time so that I am not constantly needing to go to the store.
