Face & Body Sunscreen SPF 50

A Tallow-Based Mineral Sunscreen for Maximum Broad-Spectrum Protection, Skin Nourishment & All-Day Defense

The same clean, ancestrally-rooted formula as the SPF 30, dialed up for days when your skin needs maximum protection. Sky & Sol's SPF 50 delivers the same foundation of grass-fed tallow and non-nano zinc oxide with no chemical UV filters, no processed seed oils, and no silicones, at a higher concentration of active mineral protection that blocks approximately 98% of UVB rays. It's the choice for extended outdoor exposure, high-UV environments, beach and water days, active outdoor recreation, and anyone who simply wants the highest level of clean mineral protection available.

The SPF 50 formula has a slightly thicker texture and slightly more visible white cast than the SPF 30, which is the natural trade-off for greater UV protection. Sky & Sol's Anti-White Cast Tech™ minimizes this as much as possible: jojoba-coated zinc oxide prevents particle clumping for a smoother, more even finish, and tallow's high oleic acid content keeps the formula non-greasy and genuinely wearable even at this strength.

What Makes This Formula Different

Most high-SPF mineral sunscreens are notoriously thick, chalky, and difficult to wear. Sky & Sol achieves SPF 50 protection without synthetic UV boosters, silicone smoothers, or processed oils by working with the skin's own biology rather than against it. Tallow's bioidentical lipid profile allows the formula to be absorbed readily rather than sit on the skin's surface, and the jojoba wax coating on the zinc oxide particles keeps the formula smooth and consistent throughout wear.

Key Ingredients & What They Do

• Non-Nano Zinc Oxide (Active, 25%): A physical UV filter that sits on the skin's surface and reflects both UVA and UVB rays. At the SPF 50 concentration, it blocks approximately 98% of UVB rays without absorbing into the bloodstream, disrupting hormones, or harming marine ecosystems. Non-nano particles are too large to penetrate the skin
• Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Tallow: Sourced from regenerative pastures in Australia where fields are not sprayed with pesticides. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K and conjugated linoleic acid, tallow's bioidentical lipid profile nourishes the skin barrier, supports lasting hydration, and is the foundation of this formula's non-greasy, skin-loving feel
• Cold-Pressed Jojoba Oil: Mimics the skin's natural sebum while also coating the zinc oxide particles to minimize white cast and clumping through Sky & Sol's Anti-White Cast Tech™
• Jojoba Ester (Wax): A plant-derived wax that contributes texture, slip, and smooth, even spreadability across the skin
• Babassu Starch: A silky, oil-absorbing plant powder from the Babassu palm of Brazil that keeps the formula lightweight and breathable, absorbing excess oil and sweat without clogging pores
• Kaith Bark (Wood Apple Tree): A time-honored Ayurvedic ingredient rich in natural tannins that calms redness, supports the skin barrier, and defends against everyday environmental stress
• Sunflower Lecithin: A plant-based stabilizer derived from sunflower seeds that improves formula texture and supports the skin's natural barrier function
• Sustainable Beeswax: Forms a breathable protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and supporting lasting protection throughout outdoor activity
• Radish Root Ferment Filtrate: A gentle, plant-based preservative from fermented radish roots that preserves formula freshness without synthetic chemicals
• Astaxanthin: A powerful antioxidant from microalgae that defends the skin against environmental and oxidative stress and supports a healthy, radiant complexion

SPF 50 vs. SPF 30

SPF 50 blocks approximately 98% of UVB rays and is the better choice for prolonged outdoor exposure and high-UV environments. The formula is slightly thicker with slightly more visible white cast than the SPF 30. For everyday indoor-outdoor use and a seamless daily finish, the SPF 30 is the more wearable option.
