Goddess Garden was sparked by a mother’s journey to create a sunscreen gentle enough for her daughter’s sensitive skin. She started by making lotion in her family’s kitchen using all natural, purely botanical ingredients, and later recognized other opportunities to introduce chemical-free products into her life. After giving chemicals the bird by making sunscreen for her daughter, Nova decided she didn’t need them in her own facial routine either, and she knew others would feel the same way. She also wanted a simplified product that provided a moisturizer, SPF coverage, and a primer all in one. Cheers to a central product for a natural daily facial routine that helps revive sun damaged skin.
Press pause on skin aging! Year-round sun exposure causes 90% of wrinkles and skin aging. Our Daily Facial Routine helps reverse damage for a healthy, youthful look! It can even reduce the depth of wrinkles by 23% in 90 days.

Featured Ingredient
Goddess Garden lavender essential oil.
Lavender gives our products their signature scent, and also soothes and softens the skin.
This multi-purpose oil is a strong anti-inflammatory that is good for minor burns, insect bites and stings.
We love our lavender!
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.

Why We Designed our Daily Facial Routine
To understand why we designed our Daily Facial Routine to address sun damage and other skin aging, it helps to go back to the start of our company. Our founders, Nova and Paul, were inspired to create Goddess Garden because they needed a safe sunscreen made with clean, natural ingredients for their daughter.
They identified a problem and created their own solution.
They learned a lot along the way, including that the sun is responsible for 90 percent of the visible signs of skin aging.
That means if we’d all used sunscreen on our faces every time we were exposed to the sun in our lives, we’d all boast baby faces—but we didn’t.
Here, Nova and Paul saw another problem: How do you undo years of not wearing sunscreen?
True to their innovative spirit, they again went to work on a solution—the Daily Facial Routine.
Repairing Sun Damage Naturally
Repairing sun damage is pretty complicated stuff. That’s because the damage itself is complex as well. It has to do with the different spectrums and wavelengths of the UV rays and how each affects the skin. Mineral sunscreen is the first step to addressing the problem. You have to stop the damage so your skin can begin to heal itself. Goddess Garden has been providing this solution to our customers for years.
Then we decided to take it to the next step: The repair process.
To further complicate the problem, synthetic chemicals are commonly marketed to help people turn back time. Luckily, we geek out on finding natural alternatives. We read about willow bark and baobab oil for fun! We’re like kids in a candy store when it comes to nature. There are so many wonderful ingredients to choose from that won’t cause their own problems later on.
A Plant-Powered Skincare Solution
We looked for ingredients that could restore the things years of sun exposure takes away from our skin. Nature once again provided just what we needed: strong antioxidants, vitamins, moisturizers and ways to deliver nutrients where they’re needed most. We mixed and tested, and even started over when we found ingredients that were higher in antioxidants or provided a better firming effect. We learned and mixed and tested again.
And all that testing and experimenting resulted in eight facial products—all with nutrients you can feel and natural ingredients that really work—to help undo the visible signs of aging!
The Daily Facial Routine
Our morning and evening products make skincare routines a snap, while providing all the complex nutrients your skin needs. Just take a peek at the product line:
Morning:
Fresh Start Invigorating Cream Cleanser:
- Effective against breakouts, yet gentle enough for sensitive skin. It tones and refreshes with witch hazel and tea tree oil as willow bark gently exfoliates.
Goddess Garden Bright Eyes Firming Eye Cream:
- Powerful antioxidants from red tea minimize puffiness while seaweed extract mimics the effects of hyaluronic acid to preserve and support collagen production.
Under the Sun Hydrating Vitamin Serum:
- Sunscreen primer ensures even distribution of our Face the Day SPF lotion, with a nourishing vitamin complex to help repair sun-related aging and protect skin from daily damage.
Face the Day Daily SPF 30 Moisturizer & Firming Primer:
- Completely sheer, lightweight SPF from reef-safe, non-nano zinc protects the skin while chicory root imitates retinol to firm, lift fine lines and promote long-term collagen production.
Tinted Face the Day Daily SPF 30 Moisturizer & Firming Primer:
- An lightweight four-in-one product that protects, moisturizes, primes and offers a subtle tint in four color-adaptive shades that smooth the skin and even complexion.
Evening:
Erase the Day Purifying Clay Cleanser:
- Kaolin clay pulls away impurities, minerals and makeup to reveal soft, smooth skin as oat protein replaces hydration lost throughout the day.
Day Undone Softening Night Serum:
- Powerful after-sun serum uses natural ingredients like nourishing mango butter and pomegranate oil to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark spots caused by sun exposure.
Dream Repair Brightening Night Cream:
- Sunscreen primer ensures even distribution of our Face the Day SPF 30 moisturizer, with a nourishing vitamin complex to help repair sun-related aging and protect skin from daily damage.
Sun Repair Made Simple
That’s it. It’s pretty simple. The Daily Facial Routine protects your skin to halt the damage; it helps your skin help itself while providing an extra boost that delivers instant results with long-term benefits—all with plant-based formulas and gentle ingredients.
So look back with nothing but fondness at every moment you’ve spent on this Earth, even if you forgot the sunscreen a time or twelve. We’re all about simply enjoying life, so we hope sun damage can be one less thing to worry about!

Love this product. Use it on whole body daily. Smells heavenly!
lizardmom –
love this stuff, makes their daily sunscreen go on smooth and keeps my face soft
Maggie Mae –
This product is great! I have ordered it several times and it has become my first choice for a daily moisturizer. It does go on shiny as other reviewers have said, but it absorbs fairly quickly and leaves my skin soft. I love that it is natural, that it does not make your skin sensitive to the sun, and that it comes in a cute little bottle. I’ve tried other Goddess Garden products as well, but this one is my favorite.

Moisturizes my face without clogging pores. Smells good, a little runny but just don’t use too much!
Kiersten Hill –
Works well.
J A –
I absolutely love this product. I bought it because I use the Goddess Garden zinc sunscreen and this makes the sunscreen go on easier. I like having a 2 step process. The moisturizer should absorb and the sunscreen should sit on top of the skin.I had no idea that they advertised this product as reducing wrinkles – but I definitely noticed the difference on my own skin! My skin looks fresher, younger and more even-toned.

I like this more than I expected to! A light moisturization is all I need. You do have to be careful not to apply too much, since it’s an oil… and it smells heavily of lavender. I’m not a fan of lavender, but it dissipates throughout the day. If they added it for scent alone, I wish they’d have chosen something more subtle, or that they’d offer an unscented version.

My skin is so so sensitive and this oil blend doesn’t make me break out and my skin looks very healthy when I use it. It works wonderfully under makeup too. The lavender scent fades quickly if that’s a smell you’re not a fan of.
