How well does it protect my skin during outdoor activities?

Peak Performance SPF 50 provides strong broad-spectrum defense using mineral filters that sit on the skin to reflect harmful rays. With an 80-minute water-resistant claim, it’s built for sweat and splash, making it suitable for beach days, surfing, and longer outdoor sessions when reapplied as directed.

• SPF 50 broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) protection
• 80-minute water resistance ideal for water sports and heavy perspiration
• Non-nano mineral actives reduce potential skin irritation

Will it feel heavy or leave a white cast on my face?

The formulation emphasizes a sophisticated, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or suffocating. While all mineral sunscreens can show some initial pallor, this product is engineered to spread smoothly and blend down for a more natural finish on most skin tones.

• Fast-absorbing, non-greasy consistency for everyday wear
• Designed to minimize pastiness compared with traditional mineral options
• Fragrance-free and suitable under makeup or alone

What skin benefits does it offer beyond sun protection?

Beyond blocking UV rays, the formula contains plant-derived hydrators that support moisture balance and the skin’s microbiome. Ingredients like vegan squalane and B-silk vegan spider silk protein help nourish and reduce dryness while promoting a supple surface after sun exposure.

• Neossance vegan shark squalane for lightweight hydration
• B-Silk vegan spider silk protein to support skin texture and microbiome health
• Dermatologist-tested and gentle for sensitive skin types

Is this sunscreen environmentally responsible and cruelty-free?

Yes — the product was created with marine safety and sustainability in mind. It avoids microplastics, complies with Hawaii’s reef compliance standards, and is packaged using 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic. The brand is cruelty-free and the formula is free of unnecessary fragrances that can impact sensitive ecosystems.

• Reef-safe formulation, free of microplastics and reef-harming ingredients
• 100% recycled, ocean-bound plastic tube reduces waste
• Cruelty-free and co-founded by surfing pro Kelly Slater
