Test Results:
For Beet The Sun we carried out a total of 6 tests: 2 FDA Broad Spectrum Tests, 2 FDA SPF Static Tests, 1 ISO 24444 (2019 version) and 1 ISO 24442. It’s common to only perform these tests once, but we knew it was important for you to be extra clear.
The Broad Spectrum Test and ISO 24442 helps measure UVA protection and results in the “+++” in the PA value. Through these tests, we found that Beet The Sun can protect against 88 to 94% of UVA rays!
The SPF Determination Test (AKA the FDA Method and the ISO 24444:2019) measures UVB protection and results in the SPF rating value. For Beet The Sun, we found the exact rating to be 42 & 43 which fell under our projected 40 SPF rating.

SensitiveWhat did you like about this product? Nourishing, Hydrating, Lightweight, Layers Easily, GentleRated 4 out of 5 stars2 days agoExcellent Product, Poor Packaging
I love this sunscreen! It makes my skin feel hydrated, the sun protection is great, and the formula is gentle on my skin in a way chemical sunscreens usually aren’t. I’m on my third bottle and it’s such a joy to use on my skin. Ive used it for field work and also as my daily driver sunscreen. However, it’s pretty much impossible to travel with this sunscreen bc the cap has a terrible seal and product leaks everywhere! It doesn’t matter if you’re flying or driving, this product will get all over the inside of the cap, wasting a lot of valuable product because of a poor seal on the cap.

OilyWhat did you like about this product? Lightweight, Non-stickyRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoI love it!! But my eyes don't...
First, nothing wrong with the product. It clearly states that consumers avoid the eye area on the packaging. However, when I rub my eyes or if my eyes water, I guess some sunscreen gets into my eyes and it irritates them a lot.
Still, I love the consistency and how it leaves no white cast on my darker skin tone.

I ran out a few months ago of this, so I just tried to finish my other SPF's, but I realized how my skin was just not IT. I figured out this SPF was the thing that made my skin look amazing! I have an acne prone oily skin and it never broke me out. Retire the non-essentials of your skincare and invest in your SPF!
