Description

Melanin rich skin is incredible. It glows. It’s beautiful. Melanin protects your skin cell’s DNA so you look younger, longer. It protects collagen-producing cells to strengthen skin. Melanin even has built-in UV protection, up to SPF 13, to prevent harmful damage from the sun. Melanin naturally exists in all skin produced by melanocyte cells. Everyone has a similar amount of the melanocyte cells that produce melanin, but it’s the quantity of melanin that these cells produce that varies from person to person. Melanin rich skin is also not treated by the skincare products we see today. We know one product doesn’t fit all. That’s why we created MELÉ. We understand melanin rich skin is unique, down to the cellular level. Excess melanin production can create dark spots and signs of aging. That’s why we created a range of skincare that treats, protects, and nourishes your skin. Looking for a skin oil with SPF to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV? MELÉ No Shade Sunscreen Oil SPF 30 provides the sheer protection you need throughout the day. The sunscreen is quick absorbing and lightweight. It also guards against harmful UV damage to help prevent signs of aging. Apply to your skin 15 minutes before sun exposure. There’s no residue, so you can enjoy your day immediately. Reapply at least every 2 hours. At a biological level, melanin rich skin is unique. We’ve worked with scientists, dermatologists, influencers, and consumers of color to develop skin care products that start with the science of melanin rich skin. We are MELÉ. And we see you.

Q: Is this fragrance free or good for sensitive skin?

submitted by Dre - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi Dre - Our No Shade Sunscreen Oil is not fragrance free, and we do not make any sensitive skin approved claims.

Q: I appreciate that this is for melanated skin, but I'd like to try an SPF oil on my dry, pale skin. I'd much rather support a black-owned business than shell out $40 to SuperGoop. Will this product have the same level of SPF on white skin?

submitted by Chels - 2 years ago
  • A: Fair-skinned or pale-skinned consumers are likely to absorb more solar energy than dark-skinned consumers under the same conditions. The amount of sunscreen applied also impacts the amount of solar radiation absorbed, because more sunscreen results in less solar energy absorption.

Q: how do i use this? i bought this at the target and did not know it was a oil form of spf 30. and i already have an oily skin is this going to break me out in pimples or any other way.

This is a repeat buy. I first bought this from Target and found that I love it. I don’t love the scent and I wish this was unscented but I do love what this does for my skin. As a person with brown skin, I didn’t know a clear sunscreen like this existed but this has made my skin texture really clean and clear. It’s something I will have to use permanently. My skin loves it.

I’ve been using this for a little over a month now. This is my first time trying this product but after seeing and hearing so many great reviews I decided to give it a try. Here are some of the things I liked: Does it’s job Feels very hydrating Leaves your skin looking very glowy which I love Smells great it’s a veryyyyy light scent What I don’t like: This thing is a bug magnet! I work with children so naturally during the summer I outside all day with them. First time I wore this it attracted so many bugs but I brushed it off to it’s summer bugs are everywhere etc. Dealt with it for a week. I decided to put it to the test and spent 2 days not wearing it chose a different sunscreen and lo and behold no bugs coming close to my face. Not sure what it is but it attracts bugs. Now summer is only 2 months long so I’m fine with dealing with it I just shoo them away and move on. Overall! I love this product and will continue to use it. Hope this is helpful to anyone looking to purchase!

It’s a very light oil that absorbs into the skin after a few minutes which is impressive because I have VERY oily skin, it will not leave you looking super greasy at all. And my dark spots have lightened too, which tells me it does its job.

Best Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin!

Denisse - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I have found that chemical sunscreen works best for my skin. I have tried so many sunscreens from high end brands to drug store and this is hands down the best sunscreen I have tried. I love how hydrating this is! It’s currently out of stock and I’m hoping it will come back! As someone who suffers with dry sensitive skin, this is the only sunscreen that has not broken me out in rashes or dried me out like other sunscreens! It definitely improved my skin barrier as well! I don’t find it as greasy as I already have dry skin. You just need to rub it in like any sunscreen and it’ll melt into your skin giving you a dewy look, which I personally love! Please restock soon! My sensitive skin needs it!!!

The product is lightweight. But, it makes my skin too shiny. And I'm not sure it works well. I switched from another sunscreen and after starting this it appears that my hyperpigmentation around the eyes got darker.

I stumbled upon this looking for plastic-free facial sunscreen options (glass bottle, plastic call) and I was excited to find out this line is specifically for women of color! I use 2-3 drops (so I know it will last!) on my face after my normal moisturizer and it dries clear and never leaves an oily sheen. I have already noticed some of my acne scars fading after a couple weeks of sun protection using this! Definitely recommend!
