my dream product

This product is a dream come true. I was searching everywhere for a physical sunscreen with no white caste (I'm already pale enough!); a high quality, water repellent formula I could as an everyday moisturizer and would stand up to my athletics outside; and no plastic packaging.

The formula is smooth and silky without being greasy. There's absolutely no white caste left over. The packaging is perfect.

check, check, check. My search is complete and I am a lifer.

My daily SPF Moisterizer

Utu’s SPF 30 Daily Moisturizer is a game-changer! I use it every morning and it feels so smooth and soaks in more than anything else I've used. I dont like the greasy feeling of all the other brands I've tried and when I first used UTU's, I was incredibly impressed.
Its Packed with high quality ingredients like hyaluronic acid, squalane, and vitamins C & E, it keeps my skin hydrated. Its also reef safe and though I live inland, Its cool to know I'm supporting a brand that cares.

Great daily sunscreen!

This is my go to when I'm leaving the house for the day. It blends in to my skin without leaving white residue, and doesn't clog my pores. Love the non-plastic packaging and wholesome ingredients. I am outside for long hours at high elevations almost every day, and I feel great putting in on my skin :)

Best one out there!

After getting breast and thyroid cancer, scar/sun protection without hormone disruptors is paramount. I have tried every outdoorsy and cosmetic non chemical sunscreen out there and Utu is superior to all of them, even the pricey European brands. No ghostface, feels amazing, no endocrine disrupting chemicals and comes in recyclable packaging? That’s perfection! Love love love!

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. With daily use, hyaluronic acid can rejuvenate the skin's texture, leaving it looking radiant and glowing.

Squalane
Squalane is a non-comedogenic and lightweight oil that effectively hydrates and nourishes the skin. Its properties contribute to enhancing skin elasticity and brightening the complexion. Additionally, it contains anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, which help soothe skin irritation and prevent breakouts.

Sea Buckthorn
Sea buckthorn is rich with antioxidants that help promote skin hydration, soothe irritated skin, and reduce redness. Its omega fatty acids nourish and protect the skin, helping to maintain a healthy and vibrant appearance. Moreover, sea buckthorn can also brighten the skin, even out skin tone, and improve its radiance.

Sesame Seed Oil
Sesame seed oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, has anti-inflammatory properties, can help protect the skin from harmful UV rays, and nourish it due to its high content of fatty acids.
