Our Fight

Big brand cheap, ineffective and toxic sunscreen chemicals

Big skincare brands choose to produce chemical sunscreen products because they are cheaper to produce and are typically easier to apply for daily use.It is estimated that more than 14 thousand tons of sunscreen enter the ocean each year and the toxic ingredients in most sunscreens are wrecking havoc on the world’s coral reefs. Reefs host the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem on the planet, and are home to over 25 percent of all marine life. The damage is not contained to the environment. Chemical sunscreens are absorbed into the skin, and penetrate living tissue. Many studies have raised concerns about endocrine-disrupting effects, that may increase the risk of breast cancer and endometriosis. These chemicals have also been shown to block the effects of testosterone in cellular studies. They have been found in breast milk and blood plasma samples.

Solution

Patented EarthWell Zinc Technology

Zinc Oxide is a naturally occurring mineral that is considered Broad Spectrum due to its ability to block the sun’s UVA and UVB radiation from being absorbed into your skin. Zinc, in non nano form, cannot be absorbed into the skin or other living tissue. It rests on top of the skin, creating a physical barrier. If it comes in contact with reefs and aquatic life, it cannot be absorbed to cause damage, and instead settles to the bottom of the ocean as particulate matter. Amavara’s only active ingredient and UV filter is naturally sourced Non Nano Zinc oxide.

My absolute favorite sunblock

Its the only "makeup" I wear, it's safe for me and the planet. I love the non-nano zinc! It works very well at keeping my sun sensitive skin condition under control, doesn't cause breakouts.... I wear it EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. If this company goes out of business I don't know what I will do! Haha!

Trusted in the tropical sun.

As someone whose entire family surfs long hours in the tropics, I believe Amavara makes the best sunscreen on the market to keep me and my family safe.

BEST shade/color match!

I absolutely loved this product. This is the first mineral sunscreen I have tried that does not feel sandy AND has a nice, natural undertone. Other brands I've tried have a noticeable orange or pink undertone OR feel sandy to the touch. Amavara has a more subtle beige undertone which blends nicely with any skin tone AND the texture is smooth and hydrating.

My favorite

I found amavara a couple of years ago doing some research on sunscreens for my type of skin…I’m a surfer from the caribbean and I need something that at least doesn’t make my face break out like crazy. So found through a vlog and gave it a chance.

Reasons why I love..
it last a long time…sometimes I feel like I’m gonna be super burnt because I was out at noon for a long time, but no. And my face doesn’t feel súper dry after.
I do get clogged pores once in a while but I think thats normal and it’s not acne like other sunscreen gave me.
Random plus is that it works like a makeup base without making you look like a clown like other brands do >_<
And once it’s dry it doesn’t stain my bathing suits(like other brands do)
Long story short…I recommend!

Best Product Ever

I use the SPF 50 face stick every day. The best sun protection product on the market.
