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 is lightweight and eliminates all white residue.
It has been specifically crafted for women of color and is infused with natural ingredient such as avocado, jojoba, cacao, carrot juice and sun flower 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.

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)
submitted byAster - 1 year 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!

Q: What is the difference between the regular version and the kids version?
submitted by - 2 years ago
A: Hi there! Great question! The main difference between BGS Kids and the signature Black Girl Sunscreen is the SPF protection 50 vs 30. The BGS Kids contains soothing ingredients such as chamomile, hypoallergenic, and is great for ultra-sensitive skin. It can be used at age 6 months or older. The SPF 30 is sufficient for adult skin. It also contains ingredients such as jojoba which is beneficial for acne-prone skin and avocado a great moisturizer. And remember, a little goes a long way. Hope this helps!

Fit Babe - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
I LOVE this sunscreen! This is the best one I’ve ever tried. It goes on very smooth and completely clear. It doesn’t leave that ugly, ghostly white cast on your face. While it does have a typical sunscreen smell it’s not strong at all. I can hardly smell it. It leaves a nice glow on my face, which is nice since I have somewhat dry skin. I highly recommend this sunscreen. It’s well worth the money!

I really like this sunscreen. It does not leave a white cast on my skin which as a black women I love. It does not have a bad smell, it just smells like sunscreen too me. The only bad thing I can say is that it does leave my skin oily, it could just be my skin type but… I usually just use a napkin or something to dab at my skin if it looks to oily for me. I wish they were sold in a bigger bottle for $15 though.

I Love the Diversity in Target Products! It was great to be able to purchase this Black Owned product in a big box store. Do not hesitate, just because it says Black Girl Sunscreen does not mean others cannot use it! I recently traveled to Uganda and purchased this Sunscreen from Target prior to travel. I shared this Sunscreen with all my travel buddies of varied ethnicities and races. It Worked Well for all of us, protecting us from the Sun even in Africa! Do not delay, Purchase this product Today! There is no white casting left on your skin. Blends in very easily.

I used this for years and would still use it again. It rubs in and acts a primer. It's moisturizing. It doesn't leave a cast or any residue, or cause breakouts or irritation to the skin. This also usually lasts a long time. It's one of my faves.
