Avasol Sunscreen
Surfer's Barrier Stick SPF 30
A 1 oz sunscreen stick with 24.5% non-nano, uncoated zinc oxide in a push-up tube Avasol calls plastic-free and bio-based. Sold untinted or in four tints, rated SPF 30.
Good to know: Avasol's product page claims broad spectrum SPF 30+; its FDA label lists only sunburn prevention under Uses. Keep the tube dry, since Avasol makes it to break down. The base is coconut oil, and the label warns against use with a nut allergy.
Why we picked it
Avasol designed this stick for surfers and sells it in a push-up tube the company calls plastic-free and bio-based. Its photos show kraft paperboard. The filter is 24.5% non-nano, uncoated zinc oxide in organic coconut and jojoba oils, and Avasol's FDA listing says to reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. A stick suits faces and ears better than whole limbs. Avasol asks you to keep the tube dry, since it is made to break down. Pick it untinted or in one of four tints if white cast bothers you.
