My New Go-To for Sun-Kissed Adventures!

I recently got my hands on Utu Sunscreen, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! From the moment I first applied it, I was impressed by its lightweight feel. There's nothing worse than a heavy, greasy sunscreen, but Utu felt practically invisible on my skin. Plus, the scent was absolutely lovely – a refreshing change from the typical "sunscreen smell."

This past weekend, I put Utu to the ultimate test on a river float. It was scorching hot, and I spent hours exposed to the sun. Thanks to Utu, I returned home completely burn-free! Its effectiveness is truly remarkable. The on-the-go convenience of this sunscreen also made it a perfect companion for my adventure. It was easy to reapply, and the compact size fit perfectly in my bag.

If you're looking for a sunscreen that's effective, feels great, smells fantastic, and is perfect for all your outdoor escapades, I highly recommend giving Utu a try!

Best daily mineral sunscreen

Goes on smooth a leaves no white cast. I don’t how it holds up to sweat or water sports but it’s the best I’ve found for normal walking around

I've been looking for this!

Annually before summer I feel like I have to return to the drawing board in finding a strong SPF that doesn't feel like it suffocates my skin and can be worn daily. But alas, the search is over! The daily SPF feels rich and nourishing without being suffocating. It rubs in easily. Disappears on the skin while leaving me with a dewy look. I love the sustainable packaging. Everything about it is working for me. And thank goodness, I don't have to go insearch of the right thing anymore!

Hero Ingredient

Non-Nano Zinz Oxide
Ever heard of non-nano zinc oxide? A true mineral sunscreen, non-nano zinc oxide is recognized by dermatologists as the most effective broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection. And that’s not all…Antimicrobial and non-comedogenic, it can help reduce redness, and help your skin regain its balance.

Non-nano means the particles are too large to absorb into your skin, instead providing a physical barrier between your cells and the sun’s rays. Talk about performance suncare. 

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is well known as one of the most effective humectants, it helps retain moisture and keep the skin hydrated, plump, and supple. Additionally, it can help restore the skin's natural barrier function, which shields it from external aggressors.
