I’m dialing it in, but it is a solid mineral based set of sunscreens. I’ll know more when I get through the bunch.

New: Outdoor Skincare® System Kit

One of my biggest things about sun screen is the texture/skin feel, especially for sun screens that are meant to be geared towards heavy activity (hiking, etc.) Lots of these sunscreens make you feel sticky or tacky after applying, and are generally unpleasant feeling after a short time. All of the Utu products I have tried just blend in neutrally to the skin and I never feel them after they set. The SPF 30 also just disappears without giving a white overcast. Great stuff! Will be buying more as soon as I burn through this set. Probably the most premium feeling sun screen I've ever bought.

The texture of the SPF 30 is dreammy. It leaves such a nice glow without looking like a grease ball.

Even in the cold rink, the sun comes through the glass. The balm is great for my kids chapped lips too.

I recommend this kit to all my clients. The antioxidant blend in the balm is actually helping my sun spots.

I train for ironmans and the eye sting from regular SPF is the worst. UTU solved that. No stinging at all.

Very impressed with the non-nano formula. It blends much better than expected on my tan skin.

Love the plastic free mission. It's hard to find high performance spf that isnt in a plastic tube.

Took this to Point Dume for a sunrise session. The stick stayed on through the sets and the saltwater. No stinging eyes while paddling back out!

New: Outdoor Skincare® System Kit

Finally a kit that handles the high altitude sun in Yosemite. The balm is a lifesaver for the dry mountain air up at the peaks.
