Raw Elements Sunscreen

Face + Body Tin SPF 30

Aluminum

Mineral sunscreen with 23% non-nano zinc oxide, packed in a 3 oz aluminum tin that Raw Elements labels plastic free. Its FDA drug label lists broad spectrum SPF 30 and an 80-minute water-resistance direction.

Good to know: Raw Elements also sells this formula in a bio-resin tube, which is plastic; this listing is the tin. It contains beeswax, so it isn't vegan.

Why we picked it

Raw Elements puts its SPF 30 face and body cream in an aluminum tin and calls the listing plastic free. The only active ingredient is 23% non-nano zinc oxide, carried in sunflower oil and beeswax, so it suits people who want a mineral filter and don't mind a thick cream. The company's FDA drug label claims broad spectrum protection and tells you to reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. Raw Elements says to recycle the empty tin with other aluminum. The beeswax rules it out for vegans.

What it’s made of

Aluminum tin; zinc oxide cream. Chosen for what it’s made of, not what it’s wrapped in.

Aluminum
Infinitely recyclable; refillable formats cut packaging for good.
