Meet the Ingredients: A Closer Look at Our Star Players.
At Sun Savvy, every ingredient we use is chosen with intention. Our suncare isn’t just about protection—it’s about nourishing your skin and respecting the planet. Curious about what goes into our signature blend? Let’s introduce you to the all-star lineup that makes Sun Savvy shine.
1. Organic Grass-Fed Tallow
This ancient skincare secret is the MVP of our formula. Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow is deeply nourishing and mimics the natural oils in your skin. It’s like a comforting hug for your skin—hydrating, soothing, and protecting against the elements.
Why we love it: Rich in omega fatty acids, tallow helps restore your skin’s moisture barrier. It’s especially great for sensitive or dry skin types.
Eco impact: We source our tallow sustainably from grass-fed, ethical farms, ensuring that it’s as kind to the planet as it is to your skin.
2. Beeswax
Nature’s very own water-repellent, beeswax forms a protective barrier on the skin without clogging pores. It locks in moisture and adds a subtle, natural structure to our suncare.
Why we love it: Beeswax is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and an all-around team player.
Eco impact: Supporting ethical beekeeping practices helps sustain our buzzing pollinators and promotes a healthy ecosystem.
3. Zinc Oxide
The protective shield of our sunscreen, zinc oxide is a natural mineral that reflects harmful UVA and UVB rays. Unlike chemical sunscreens, it works immediately and doesn’t absorb into your skin.
Why we love it: It’s gentle, safe for sensitive skin, and offers broad-spectrum sun protection.
Eco impact: We use non-nano zinc oxide, which won’t harm coral reefs or marine life.
4. Organic Coconut Oil
This tropical treasure is a multitasking marvel. Coconut oil deeply hydrates, soothes irritation, and gives our sunscreen its silky-smooth application.
Why we love it: Rich in antioxidants and antibacterial properties, it helps keep your skin calm and nourished.
Eco impact: We source our coconut oil from sustainable farms to ensure minimal environmental footprint.
5. Shea Butter (Nilotica)
Move over, regular shea butter—Nilotica shea butter is here to steal the show. This rare variety from East Africa is softer, creamier, and even more luxurious.
Why we love it: It’s packed with vitamins and fatty acids that soothe and hydrate, leaving your skin feeling like velvet.
Eco impact: Harvested sustainably, Nilotica shea butter supports local communities and biodiversity.
6. Organic Cacao Powder
Yes, cacao isn’t just for chocolate lovers! This unexpected ingredient adds a subtle tint to our suncare, reducing the white cast often associated with zinc oxide.
Why we love it: It’s full of antioxidants that protect your skin from environmental stressors.
Eco impact: We use organic, sustainably sourced cacao to ensure every swipe is as ethical as it is effective.
7. Love
Okay, so you won’t find this on a traditional ingredients list, but every batch of Sun Savvy is made with care, passion, and a whole lot of love. It’s our secret ingredient to creating suncare that’s not just protective, but joyful to use.
Why we love it: It’s what makes Sun Savvy more than suncare. It’s a commitment to your skin and the planet.
