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 - 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 - 4 months ago
  • A: You're ridiculous.

    submitted bySuperMama42 - 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 - 3 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)

Wow this is amazing. For any black person thinking we don't need sunscreen think again and then choose this one. I recently went on my first cruise to the Bahamas Sept 2023, and it was very hot on and off the ship' in and out of the water. This product worked great. First of all the application/Apply blow me away. It goes on smoothly and left me skin hydated and never chalky/ ashy looking. Moreover, I had had surgery on my back and the sun reallhy bothered it, but upon applying this suncreen it never gave me a moments trouble. So if you looking for a great sunscreen I highly recommend Black Girl Sunsccreen 30.

My go to. I made the mistake of trying neutrogena’s sunscreen and ended up an ashy, dull looking mess. I definitely prefer the results black girl sunscreen gives, even if I have oily skin. I just wish it was a bit cheaper.

I liked that it didn't leave a white caste, but the 30 spf wasn't strong enough for me when i went to the beach and I burned, unfortunately. I wish they made this one in 50 spf. I am hesitant to try the hybrid 50 spf because I have read several reviews that say that one DOES leave a white caste. I think from an everyday wear perspective I would use this, but for the beach, maybe try something stronger.
