Looking for All-Natural SPF products for summer? I Got You 😎

It’s summertime!! Which means one thing— time to get your fave holistic sun care products to take care of your skin.

One of my fave brands just launched their new line of SPF products and i’m so stoked about them 👏

I am a summer girl through and through. But I am also someone who goes from white to red, without much tanning anywhere in the process. That means my family takes a conservative approach to sun safety— without stressing about it.

I’ve written a few posts about holistic sun safety in preparation for summertime, and this one is along the same lines. But this time, I get to highlight one of my all-time favorite brands.

What I Love About Primally Pure

I have used Primally Pure products for YEARS, and it has easily become one of those brands where I know I will have a great experience no matter what I order. And at this point, there are very few products I have not tried.

I love that Primally Pure focuses on practices that I prioritize in my everyday life:

• Ancestral Practices with Animal-based Products

  I love that they prioritize ingredients like grass-fed, pasture-raised tallow that is deeply hydrating and nourishing to the skin.

• Down to Earth Ingredients

  Naturally-based ingredients that are also science-backed to be effective

• Packaging with Purpose

  I love minimizing plastic where I can so when brands make that really easy, i’m such a fan. Primally Pure uses

So when I heard they were launching an SPF line, I was stoked. Because, while there are a lot of good sunscreen options on the market, there haven’t been very many that I love.

The New SPF Line

I was so excited to get their products as part of their launch— so yes, these items I’m sharing were all gifted to me (thank youuu PP), but they are already things I am planning to keep stocked through summer.

What I Love About Primally Pure SPF:

I am obsessed with the priorities of this company— and they held true for this new line too.

• Broad-spectrum- This refers to a sunscreen providing protection against UVA and UVB rays—- which is what you want when you are out in the sun for prolonged lengths of time, or during peak hours.

• Reef Safe - are you lathering up for a day at the beach, or swimming in the ocean? This SPF line is safe for reef and wildlife health. Win Win Win.

• Animal-Based- I love tallow for my body— it is hydrating, nourishing, and protective of your skin barrier. Not to mention, it is a much more stable fat than seed oils (which are commonly used in sunscreen products)

• Clean Ingredients- It can be so confusing trying to research all of the different ingredients in health and beauty products. That is why I am so thankful when Primally Pure does it for me 😍 They take it even one step further by only using nine, nature-based ingredients for their entire sunscreen line. That is nearly unheard of— and I love that I can use this for both of my kiddos (who both have very sensitive, eczema-prone skin) without worries.. or flare-ups

• Application- anytime you are looking for healthier sunscreen options, a mineral sunscreen is the common recommendation. And while I agree, I often realllyy dislike the whitecast that comes with it. Until now! Primally Pure uses a non-nano zinc oxide which creates a more sheer coverage, and not that standard stark white.

Now Let’s Talk About the Lineup…

In their SPF launch, Primally Pure has 3 brand new products. Here is a little introduction to each, plus how I’ve been using each!

• Sun Cream SPF 30 - This is the perfect cream to use on your body or face while you’re out in the sun. I love that it goes on smooth, absorbs quickly, without an overly greasy feel. It also has a light and summery scent of lavender and mint, which was unexpected, but I’m such a fan.

  To Use: Twist the cap to open and squeeze out the Sun Cream. Apply generously 15 minutes before sun exposure for full protection. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying and at least every 2 hours.

  (P.S. The twist cap is such a great feature— no lost lids, or slippery hands trying to close the bottle!)

• Sun Stick SPF 25- This handy sun stick is portable and convenient and is my absolute favorite for applying sunscreen to my kiddos faces! And with them both being prone to eczema, I love knowing these ingredients won’t cause a flare-up.

  Usually with a sun stick, I expect a really thick occlusive white layer of sunscreen when I apply. When i first used this one, I was shocked. While there was the tiniest white cast, it was nothing compared to what I have been used to over the last couple of years, primarily using other mineral-based products.

• Sun Lip Balm SPF 15- This lip balm is hydrating, nourishing, and protective. I have always been a big fan of Primally Pure lip balms and am so excited to add this to my lineup for summertime!

The Ingredients

I mentioned it briefly, but I really think I need to go further into this ingredient list. All of their SPF products are made with at most 9 ingredients. And these 9 ingredients are nature-based and nourishing to the skin and body.

Ingredients List:

UNSCENTED SPF 25 Active Ingredients: Zinc Oxide (20%) Inactive Ingredients: Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Beeswax, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Organic Tallow, Organic Mango Butter, Tocopherol
