Should I wear sunscreen everyday?

We want to encourage you to rethink your relationship with the sun. While many brands urge constant sunscreen use out of fear, we believe in a more mindful approach: thoughtful, intentional time in the sun to nourish circadian rhythms, hormonal health, vitamin D synthesis and vitality – paired with truly non-toxic, broad-spectrum SPF for longer, sun-soaked moments. So short answer: No, we don’t believe you need to wear this product every single day – but for those extended days outside (for vacation or your vocation), wearing a safe, effective sunscreen does matter.

Can I use Sun Stick on my face and body?

Yes! Our Sun Stick SPF 25 provides mineral-based, biocompatible sun defense and a sheer finish for both face and body. Mindfully formulated with grass-fed tallow, beeswax and mango butter, this cream deeply moisturizes and improves skin barrier function while its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture leaves skin nourished and naturally glowing.

What are the benefits of non-nano zinc in sunscreen? Why do you use non-nano vs. nano?

This physical sun defense remains on the surface of skin without being absorbed, making it the safest and most effective option for sun protection. This is seen as a safer, better-for-you mineral option than Nano Zinc Oxide because Non-Nano Zinc Oxide has a larger particle size than Nano Zinc Oxide (larger than 100 nanometers) which means that is too large to penetrate the skin (i.e. doesn’t enter the bloodstream) and stays on the surface of the skin to reflect UV rays. Non-Nano Zinc Oxide is also considered reef-safe and less toxic to marine life than Nano Zinc Oxide. Plus our Non-Nano Zinc Oxide offers an advanced upgrade in mineral-based sun protection by providing broad-spectrum coverage, shielding skin from both UVA and UVB rays, with a sheer, barely-there finish along with antibacterial properties that help combat bacteria and protect the skin barrier.

What's so bad about seed oils in other sunscreen? What do you use instead?

In the context of sunscreen (even mineral-based SPF), there are concerns surrounding industrialized seed oils due to oxidation, inflammation, and skin sensitivity when these oils are exposed to sun and heat. Industrialized seed oils (like sunflower, canola, soybean, cottonseed, and safflower) are highly unstable when exposed to heat, light, and oxygen. On your skin, this means they can lead to the production of free radicals, which can damage skin cells, speed up aging and contribute to inflammation. By excluding industrialized seed oils, we avoid unstable, inflammation-prone ingredients and instead use saturated and monounsaturated fats (like tallow from grass-fed cows, coconut oil and mango butter) that are much more stable in sunlight, supportive of the skin’s natural lipid barrier and non-oxidizing, which means no sneaky free radical generation under UV exposure.

Are Primally Pure’s SPF products recommended for sensitive skin?

Yes! Formulated with restorative fatty acids from grass-fed tallow, moisturizing mango butter and vitamin-rich beeswax, our SPF not only provides a sun barrier, but it protects the skin barrier.

The Benefits of Vitamin D for Full Body Health: How to Get More Naturally

Why We Source Pure Cold-Pressed Seed Oils Over Industrialized Seed Oils

We want to encourage you to rethink your relationship with the sun. While many brands urge constant sunscreen use out of fear, we believe in a more mindful approach: thoughtful, intentional time in the sun to nourish circadian rhythms, hormonal health, vitamin D synthesis and vitality – paired with truly non-toxic, broad-spectrum SPF for longer, sun-soaked moments.
So short answer: No, we don’t believe you need to wear this product every single day – but for those extended days outside (for vacation or your vocation), wearing a safe, effective sunscreen does matter.
Yes! Our Sun Stick SPF 25 provides mineral-based, biocompatible sun defense and a sheer finish for both face and body. Mindfully formulated with grass-fed tallow, beeswax and mango butter, this cream deeply moisturizes and improves skin barrier function while its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture leaves skin nourished and naturally glowing.
This physical sun defense remains on the surface of skin without being absorbed, making it the safest and most effective option for sun protection.
This is seen as a safer, better-for-you mineral option than Nano Zinc Oxide because Non-Nano Zinc Oxide has a larger particle size than Nano Zinc Oxide (larger than 100 nanometers) which means that is too large to penetrate the skin (i.e. doesn’t enter the bloodstream) and stays on the surface of the skin to reflect UV rays. Non-Nano Zinc Oxide is also considered reef-safe and less toxic to marine life than Nano Zinc Oxide.
Plus our Non-Nano Zinc Oxide offers an advanced upgrade in mineral-based sun protection by providing broad-spectrum coverage, shielding skin from both UVA and UVB rays, with a sheer, barely-there finish along with antibacterial properties that help combat bacteria and protect the skin barrier.
In the context of sunscreen (even mineral-based SPF), there are concerns surrounding industrialized seed oils due to oxidation, inflammation, and skin sensitivity when these oils are exposed to sun and heat. Industrialized seed oils (like sunflower, canola, soybean, cottonseed, and safflower) are highly unstable when exposed to heat, light, and oxygen. On your skin, this means they can lead to the production of free radicals, which can damage skin cells, speed up aging and contribute to inflammation.
By excluding industrialized seed oils, we avoid unstable, inflammation-prone ingredients and instead use saturated and monounsaturated fats (like tallow from grass-fed cows, coconut oil and mango butter) that are much more stable in sunlight, supportive of the skin’s natural lipid barrier and non-oxidizing, which means no sneaky free radical generation under UV exposure.

Yes! Formulated with restorative fatty acids from grass-fed tallow, moisturizing mango butter and vitamin-rich beeswax, our SPF not only provides a sun barrier, but it protects the skin barrier. If you experience skin sensitivities, we suggest our Unscented SPF products for gentle, essential-oil free and deeply nourishing SPF protection.
Yes! Our SPF collection is family friendly and the safest option for young skin. Free from industrialized seed oils, synthetic fragrances and harmful chemicals that you definitely don’t want on developing skin/bodies, our formula contains non-nano zinc oxide for mineral-based, broad-spectrum sun protection along with moisturizing tallow, mango butter and beeswax to deeply nourish delicate skin. For your kiddos, we recommend our Unscented SPF products for gentle, essential-oil free SPF protection.
Yes! All sunscreen products are made with BPA-free packaging.

Reviews

"I’ve only used this once so far, but my first impression is really good! I love how convenient the stick is, especially for quick application or throwing in my bag. It smells really nice, glides on easily and doesn’t make applying SPF feel like a whole process. I need to use it more before I can speak to how it wears long term, but so far I’m really happy with it!"

— Danielle (5/5)

Best sunscreen

"Easy swipe application! Most clean sunscreens leave a greasy film and a white face, but this product works into the skin with such ease! Super effective!"

— Rachel T. (5/5)

Good Hydrating Sunscreen

"Easy application, goes on a little thick from the zinc and beef tallow. Makes for a good hydrating SPF, and leaves minimal white cast for how natural it's ingredients are. A little heavy though if you are going to be hot and sweating while wearing it, but amazing for protecting and moisturizing if you are in a cooler and drier climate."

— Grace B. (4/5)

love it!

"So easy to throw in a bag and love the CLEAN ingredients. I use it on my kids as well and they have not burned. I will say that my kids don't tend to burn easily."

— Desiree G. (5/5)

Sun stick

"It’s doesn’t clog your pores which is really good and I love that. It’s a good travel size sunscreen that you can take with you on the plane and it glides on smooth and evenly. The sunscreen touch is very nice"

— Ruzana D. (5/5)

Love that I can just

"Love that I can just throw it in my purse without worrying about a mess. It is easy to appy and reapply without leaving any white cast on darker skin."

— Guamma G. (5/5)

Love this product! I use

"Love this product! I use it frequently on my face, neck and shoulders. Can't live without this. Easy to throw in your purse and use on the go."

— Salena B. (5/5)

Super easy to apply which

"Super easy to apply which I appreciate. Doesn't feel too heavy on the skin and can be used as a base underneath your make up for good skin protection from the sun! I will order again in the future."

— Ansley J. (5/5)

"I meant to order this in unscented, but I guess they were out of stock and sent me the scented one. I would definitely choose unscented for your face, but the product itself is great."

— Melissa (5/5)

Best lip and face protection in the HOT and DRY sun.

"I LOVE this! I discovered something this summer. We go boating and my lips typically get wind or sun burned. This stick feels SO great on. It is moisturizing and protects my lips. There is also no strange chemical taste like other sunscreen lip products."

— Noel F. (5/5)
