Let customers speak for us
Love this for my daily surf session out here in Hawaii where the sun does get quite strong during the middle of the day. I love how much this sunscreen moisturizers my skin while protecting it!
I am SO impressed with this spf daily moisturizer. Like…wow! To me, this is a true luxury skincare product. It applies so smoothly and really absorbs into skin while leaving a glow, but no pilling or white cast, unlike other high end mineral SPFs I’ve used (looking at you Alo!). Or leaves a real radiance on my skin, without a slippery silicone feeling like I get from chemical gel sunscreen or spf moisturizers. I also do not get any irritation, texture, or breakouts like I have with every single other zinc and mineral based face spf! This stuff seriously rocks. It looks, feels, and acts like skincare instead of just regular old sunblock or sport spf….and yet it is sports ready!
I tried a few products from utu and was not expecting the moisturizer to be the hero product for me but it really really is! I don’t wear face makeup, and with the utu moisturizer I don’t need to. I get all the glow I need (without the burn!)
I like my old sunscreen, it checked most of the boxes, environmentally friendly, great protection and good value. But then came Utu - which checked all those boxes and more! The difference - it feels great going on, it's smooth, not sticky with a filmy residue and leaves no trace of white paint on my face. My husband is now using it too. Highly recommend.
I love how easily & quickly it goes on. The ingredients are fabulous & clean. And no ghosty look! Being able to refill the stick container is awesome!
I've been on the hunt for an every day sunscreen. This one checks ALL the boxes. I am purchasing more after only a week of using it because I love it so much!
So stoked to have found this product! I’ve been making my own water sport friendly tinted mineral spf for my face by mixing badger with bronze drops… this is so much better, and still a true spf 50, for my daily river surf sessions. Love everything about it!!
First of all, I love this sunscreen. It's silky smooth and not too oily. The packaging takes it to a whole new level though. The feeling of rolling the tube with the little metal pin actually makes me excited to put on sunscreen.
This is my forever sunscreen, I can't see myself using anything else. This sunscreen goes on so smoothly & doesn't make me look ghosty! I am finally using sunscreen every day on my face. I truly love this stuff!
this skincare kit is the only thing that has truly helped protect, nourish and rejuvenate my face from eczema flair ups. i never thought i would look forward to reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours. these two products have replaced every other product in my skincare regimen making it easier for me to travel and spend more time outdoors. i am so grateful for utu.
This is the best sunblock I’ve used. Doesn’t leave me looking like a ghost and provides plenty of cover. Great product!
I used this on vacation in a humid rainforest and it was super comfortable and didn't break me out! The texture is great and it blends well into your skin. I also love that it is not housed in plastic! All around very happy :)
I have tried so many mineral and chemical sunscreens and this one tops the charts! I’ve been trying to switch to mineral only but it is so hard to find one that isn’t drying and leaving a white cast.
This ‘screen is hydrating and feels so great on the skin. It has so many good ingredients, I’m just hooked. Worth the money for this quality! Say goodbye to sunscreen being a chore and hello to it being a dream
Utu’s 50 SPF Sunscreen Stick is seriously the best sunscreen I have ever used and it actually protects me for the hours that I spend in the pool and ocean. It stays on despite putting on and taking off my nose clip and mask countless times during a session, which is a big deal. Is goes on sooo easy, doesn’t leave any white casting, friendly to sensitive skin, and is reef safe. Love my Utu ❤️
I heard about this stick from a friend who is a runner, she just told me to get it because its the only sunscreen she has used that feels good, works and doesn't sting her eyes when she's running distance. I use it when i'm out hiking and its fab, i love the way it glides on my skin, and doesn't leave any residue. just ordered a refill.
As a surf instructor, sunblock is more than just a singular part of my day... I'm constantly re-applying sunblocks and sunscreens. I use environmentally friendly formulas and packaging but it is nearly impossible to find a 100% plastic-free mineral-based sunscreen/sunblock UNTIL TODAY when my boss showed me UTU... I am hooked! Here's why... first, it's locally based out of Venice, CA. Second, the 20ml fits perfectly in my surf bag. Third, NO PLASTIC!!!! Fourth, it feels as if I'm putting on my fancy face lotion - no more thick white streaks that my hair sticks to with other brands. Thank you for making my days better with a 100% fabulous plastic-free sunscreen to protect me in the ocean and on the sand. Mahalo.
