3 Types of Body Sunscreen for Any Routine

At Supergoop!, we know sunscreen isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we’ve created different types of body SPF so you can find the one (or two, or three) that fits seamlessly into your routine. Because when sunscreen feels good and works with your lifestyle, it becomes more than a habit — it becomes something you actually want to wear every day.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through three types of body sunscreen we offer—lotions, oils, and sprays—so you can discover the right match for your skin, your schedule, and your sun-filled adventures.

SPF Lotion

When most people think of sunscreen, lotion is what comes to mind. SPF lotions can feel nourishing and moisturizing, making them a great option for starting your day with SPF. They’re easy to apply evenly, can help keep skin hydrated, and deliver protection you can count on.

Our PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 is a bestseller for good reason. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and fast-absorbing. Plus, it’s water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it works as hard as you do, whether you’re out for a jog, chasing kids at the park, or heading to the beach. And with multiple sizes available, you can keep one at home and one in your bag so you’re never without it.

Prefer a mineral option? Our PLAY Mineral Lotion SPF 30 is gentle, blendable, and suitable for all skin types. It offers the broad spectrum protection you expect, in a mineral formula that's recommended for sensitive skin.

And if you’re already a fan of our face favorites, you’ll love the body versions. Unseen Sunscreen Body SPF 40 is a 100% invisible, weightless, scentless sunscreen crafted specifically for your body. And then there’s Glowscreen Body SPF 40: a shimmery daily body lotion with SPF that hydrates and illuminates your skin for a healthy-looking glow.

SPF Oil

If you love the ritual of applying body oils, SPF oils might be your perfect match. They’re spreadable, nourishing, and often leave skin looking hydrated and luminous — so suncare feels like self-care.

Our Glow Oil SPF 50 is an ultra-nourishing, non-greasy body oil that leaves your skin looking radiant. It’s powered by ingredients like argan oil, grapeseed oil, and meadowfoam seed oil. Together, they condition skin, help lock in moisture, and leave behind a silky finish. It’s also water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so you can use it everywhere from the pool to your morning walk.

SPF Spray

For quick touch-ups, travel or hard-to-reach spots, sprays make SPF application effortless. They’re a favorite for kids (or adults who don’t love rubbing in lotion) and they make reapplying during the day so easy.

Our PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50 is a weightless spray that protects skin wet or dry, so you can use it right after a swim or on sweaty skin post-workout. It delivers an even mist from any angle, so you won’t miss a spot.

A quick note on spray SPF: To get the best protection, make sure you’re using enough product and applying it evenly. Spray close to the skin, and if you’re outside on a windy day, spray into your hands and then rub it on to ensure nothing gets lost in the breeze.

The Right SPF for Any Body

SPF lotions, oils, and sprays may look different. But they all have one important thing in common: They protect your skin when used correctly. The choice comes down to what feels best for you. Maybe you love the hydration of a lotion, the indulgence of an oil, or the convenience of a spray. Better yet, keep all three on hand for different moments!
