The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends SPF 15 every day you leave your house and SPF 30 if you plan to be in the sun most of the day
The FDA, World Health Organization and the CDC recommend SPF 15 or higher, and to reapply that every two hours.
All of those authorities agree that you should be using a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which protects your skin against both UVA and UVB rays. Make sure any sunscreen you buy clearly states that on the bottle.

Featured Ingredient
Found in all our sunscreens, caprylic/capric triglyceride is derived from coconut oil.
At the molecular level, caprylic triglyceride never goes rancid and is completely stable.
This ingredient has a silky feel to it that leaves your skin feeling smooth and non-greasy, and helps disperse the minerals evenly on the skin.
Why Use Mineral Sunscreen
You Eat Natural Foods, So Shouldn’t Your Sunscreen Be Natural, Too?
In today’s world, it seems like we constantly hear messages about “going natural,” but what are the actual benefits of a natural sunscreen?
The conventional sunscreen you have purchased your whole life works just fine at preventing sunburn, but take a look at the ingredients on the bottle of last summer’s sunblock.
If you find ingredients such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, or even isobutane, you may want to consider the purchase of Goddess Garden’s mineral sunscreen instead.
Reef Safe
All Goddess Garden Sunscreens are Reef Safe
Some of the most common chemical sunscreens, oxybenzone and octinoxate, have been linked to the destruction of our coral reefs.
This damage can occur even at very low concentrations of these chemicals in the water.
Because of this, they’ve even been banned in placed like Hawaii, Key West, Bonaire and the Republic of Palau.
Minerals, on the other hand, are reef safe, so do not harm reef environments and the vast life they support.
We never use toxic or harmful chemicals, so all our sunscreens are completely reef-safe!
Certified Organic
All Goddess Garden ingredients are Certified Organic wherever possible.
Pure minerals offer powerful UV protection, but they can never be considered “organic” ingredients since they’ve never been alive.
This means mineral sunscreens (whether made by Goddess Garden or not) will never be 100% organic.
Leaping Bunny Certified
By 1996, ‘cruelty-free’ shopping had become popular, but it was also confusing, sometimes misleading, and ultimately frustrating. Companies had begun designing their own bunny logos, abiding by their own definition of ‘cruelty-free’ or ‘animal friendly’ without the participation of animal protection groups.
In response, eight national animal protection groups banded together to form the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC). The CCIC promotes a single comprehensive standard and an internationally recognized Leaping Bunny Logo. We work with companies to help make shopping for animal-friendly products easier and more trustworthy.
Certified B Corporation
Certified B Corporations are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit.
They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.
This is a community of leaders, driving a global movement of people using business as a force for good.
Recyclable
Goddess Garden products are recyclable.

We love this product. My children both have very fair and sensative skin, my boy even has eczema, and this is the ONLY sunscreen we have found that they can use without having a reaction.

I really wanted to love this. It was just ok. I much prefer blue lizard sunblock. This one was sticky and very heavy on the scent, which smells a bit like men’s cologne. I don’t hate the scent, just not on my baby daughter’s face. I like the stick applicator but that’s about it. Came with some sample packets of serum and sunblock. Horrible. Made my face so sticky I had to go wash it off after half an hour.

Very effective and easy to apply. Small and we went through it quick but we will buy it again.

I use this as a daily facial sunscreen. I keep it in my purse and it has been a lifesaver when I’ve ended up walking around downtown and wanted to put some on my arms and chest too
Amanda Sutton –
It goes on reasonably clear (not totally), but it smells nice, and it reef safe and not full of chemicals. I love that I don’t have to get my hands dirty when I use the stick.
Becky K –
I have used a few different sunscreen sticks and I love how sheer this goes on…I don’t have to rub it in nearly as much as with other ones. I even use it on my face and no breakouts! It’s easy enough for the kids to use and although it’s a little pricey…with subscribe and save if you plan ahead you can save a little more. I would say it’s worth the price- no sunburns yet and this is our primary sunscreen that we use.
Jojo –
Easy to apply with the stick. It smells really good. It does leave a little white film but it gets less as you rub it in a little.

Boo. Is like trying to glide a rubber sole over your skin. Such a good idea with terrible consistency. Impossible to use on my kids faces.

Great sun protection without the worrisome chemicals. My two year old granddaughter did very well with it. No allergic reaction. Will continue to purchase Garden Goddess in the future.
Carmen –
Tried many different brands of sunstick. This one is the best – No heavy scent and glides through easily without streaks! Will be a repeated customer.
SM Louis –
My kids hate sunscreen. This has made it easier to apply at least. It stays on top of the skin as it is mineral based. It is not supposed to soak into the skin so it leaves a white sheen. We have not had any issues with sunburn so that’s positive. It’s a small stick so I keep one in my purse at all times. The stick rubs on gentle. I tend to hold it to a face for a few seconds before gliding. It seems to warm up and bit and flow easier. Def recommend.
