Here’s Why We Have 40+ Sunscreen Options

When we launched our brand in 2005, we set out with a mission change the way the world thinks about sunscreen and help everyone, everywhere wear SPF daily.

So on top of making sure our formulas are comfortable, we've created more than 40 sunscreen options for every single skin type (whether you lean more on the dry side, oily or anywhere in between), skin tone (looking at you, Unseen Sunscreen!) and desired finish. Below, we break down some of our favorite formulas so you can find the SPF you want wear.

Every. Single. Day.™

PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 was our first product ever, and was created more than 15 years ago when our founder, Holly Thaggard, wanted to create a sunscreen formula that didn’t feel sticky, smelled good and could work on all skin tones.

To this day, PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 is one of our bestsellers. The formula is truly universal; it can be worn for a day of casual activity, a day at the beach or for a long run. The formula is sweat- and water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, plus it's easily blendable and fast-absorbing. Another reason why PLAY is so beloved? It doesn’t have that traditional “sunscreen smell.” Instead, it has a very light fresh scent.

Our team realized that the world needed a 100% invisible sunscreen that could be worn everyday, on its own or under makeup. The whole idea was to create a sunscreen that eliminates all of the reasons why people don’t like to wear sunscreen. Enter: Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50. Our most popular product, Unseen Sunscreen goes on completely clear on every single skin tone, is scentless and feels completely weightless.

In addition to being a sunscreen that is guaranteed to never leave a white cast, Unseen Sunscreen provides broad spectrum SPF 50 protection. Unseen Sunscreen can be worn alone or as a primer before you apply makeup. If you use it as a primer, it leaves a beautiful natural finish for foundation.

If you have sensitive skin or are looking for a mineral sunscreen that isn't chalky or heavy, Zincscreen 100% Mineral Lotion SPF 40 is a great bet. We created this lightweight sunscreen lotion with sensitive skin in mind — it’s made with gentle zinc oxide and it moisturizes and nourishes skin with a non-comedogenic formula.

Zincscreen blends in sheer on most skin tones, but because no 100% mineral sunscreen can be completely invisible, we formulated it with a subtle pink tint to minimize white cast. If you're set on choosing a totally invisible formula, we suggest our bestseller, Unseen Sunscreen!

As we said, we have more than 40 sunscreen options, for all skin types, tones and routines. If you’re looking for a richly hydrating moisturizer, check out Superscreen Hydrating Daily Cream SPF 40. We have options for eyes, too. Bright-Eyed 100% Mineral Eye Cream SPF 40 is a mineral SPF formula that’s specially made for the delicate skin around your eyes, and Shimmershade SPF 30 is the first eyeshadow with SPF 30!

We have sunscreen mists that spritz on super light and airy, like our PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50, and our Glow Oil SPF 50 is a glowy sunscreen oil that leaves skin glowing (not greasy!). Speaking of glow, if you’re in the business of looking luminous at all times, you’ll want to explore our cult beauty favorite, Glowscreen SPF 40, and our go-to for an on-the-go glow, Glow Stick SPF 50.

We know that sunscreen isn't one-size-fits-all. Like our founder, Holly, always likes to say, “What works for my skin may not work for yours". So, in order to fulfill our mission of getting everyone under the sun wearing sunscreen every day, we want to make it as easy (and fun!) as possible to find the perfect formula for your exact needs.
