Convenient sun protection on the go

With this tinted mineral sunscreen, you can bring buildable, skin-perfecting coverage and full-spectrum UV protection with you anywhere.

The easy-glide formula features non-nano, reef-safe zinc oxide, so it’s safe for our skin and the ocean. With its water resistance up to 80 minutes, it’s your ideal surf and sand sidekick. And most importantly, it’s effective against the full spectrum of UVA and UVB radiation, so you know you’re covered.

It’s perfect for tossing in your beach bag or keeping in your waist pack to accompany you on every adventure — from the rainforest to the concrete jungle. In four blendable shades, you might even find yourself replacing your makeup with this convenient multitasker.

How to use

Apply to any body part that's exposed to the sun, rubbing it in to help the sunscreen blend in with your skin tone. The more you apply, the more protection you’ll have.

Unlike conventional, synthetic, chemical-based sunscreens, mineral sunscreens start working the second that you apply them to your skin, so you don't have to wait before enjoying the outdoors.

Always rely on common sense when in the sun, and use clothing and hats as your primary form of solar protection. Respect your personal exposure limits.

A prohibitive price point and narrow skin suitability

I could swear I have leather skin the way I have been able to use almost any kind of skin care and have great results, but the immediacy with which I saw millia-like occlusions in my skin after using the full system? It didn’t matter which combination, after three full system cycles I had bumpy skin. The feeling wasn’t nice, either; my face felt greasy rather than dewey. I will say that my skin rebounded after I returned to my normal routine, and there was no lasting damage, but it's really a disappointment to have spent $50 on a tiny travel set with a company that would have been awesome regarding sustainable packaging, only to find the products themselves limited to what I must assume is a narrow spectrum of skin types.

So sorry to hear the samples were not a good fit for your skin. We appreciate you trying Activist!

So far, nice

I’ve only used it for a few days, but I like it so far. I think my skin is showing signs of improvement (less redness in random places). It feels good on my face, too. I appreciate the glass/metal/cardboard housings,
versus plastic.
