SPF 50 broad spectrum protection for the whole body. Water-resistant & reef-safe. Delivered in a recycled plastic, recyclable tube.

This sunscreen provides great broad spectrum SPF 50 sun protection while also being water-resistant and reef-safe. Redness and sun damage won’t stick around for long after application.

"This formula includes ingredients that are thought to be safest for reefs. It rubs in easily, feels nice on skin, and doesn’t leave a white cast..."

"This natural brand uses regenerative farming practices, PCR packaging, and clean ingredients. So already we'd consider it a winner in our books. But it also works—like really works. The mineral formula rubs in effortlessly, is hydrating, and doesn't irritate even the most sensitive of skin types."

"As a South Asian woman living in Florida, I'm always on the hunt for a mineral sunscreen that applies quickly, doesn't leave a white cast, and is marked at a reasonable price for all-over use. This one blends well into my skin, feels moisturizing thanks to tons of antioxidants, and is packaged in 100% plant-based material that's easy to recycle. Plus, the regenerative model should be lauded as it focuses on farming techniques that restore soil."

BODYSHIELD 50, THE BEST REEF-SAFE SUNSCREEN

BODYSHIELD 50 NAMED 'BEST REEF-SAFE SUNSCREEN' BY NYT WIRECUTTER

"The main active ingredient in Thrive Bodyshield SPF 50 is non-nano zinc oxide, the most coral-friendly option available in the US. Zinc oxide sunscreen might conjure images of lifeguards with white noses, but this one rubs in the clearest of those we tested with minimal effort. Once on skin, Thrive’s Bodyshield SPF 50 feels less greasy than many other sunscreens."
