Our Story

Nature gave us the answers

Innovation, eco protection and inclusivity are at the heart of Amavara’s mineral based formula; meticulously designed by world renowned chemist and sunscreen expert, Laura Singleton, and skin cancer survivor and entrepreneur, Craig Irving. Craig’s love for surfing, and the outdoors, combined with Laura’s unparalleled expertise in sun care and skin aesthetics informs the Amavara brand. The goal was to create a sunscreen that is socially responsible, offers broad spectrum protection without any harmful chemicals, and is effective and safe for your family, and the environment. Amavara confidently protects and looks good on your skin so you can stay active outdoors, and embrace nature.

What makes our sunscreen unique is the patented EarthWell technology we use to make a zinc sunscreen blend transparently. Many competitors cannot do this, and use a lower amount of zinc to ensure blendability. Zinc is one of two, and the superior of the two, minerals the FDA classified as safe and effective in sunscreen. The more zinc, the better the protection. We specifically use a non-nano zinc, which is what makes our sunscreen entirely reef safe. We are compliant, and go beyond the reef safe sunscreen regulations passed in Hawaii and Florida. Mexico is expected to follow suit in the near future. We are proud of the products we have developed, our commitment to an eco-safe future, and a healthier sunscreen for you.Designed with all skin types and skin tones in mind, Amavara offers superior protection for everyone.

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.

Excellent sunscreen!!

I recently watched a video of a woman who said that this sunscreen was a dupe for a higher end. I wanted to try to see if it was true and behold, it is much better.
I really like it. You just have to make sure you warm it up in your hands before you spread it on your face.

Love this product!

Great product for all year. I put it on everyday before I leave the house.

Tinted Sunscreen

I received a bottle of your product from someone, and I loved it. So I decided to buy more, I bought four bottles so far. And I’ll continue to support you!!

SPF 50 TINTED LOTION

Reef safe sunscreen face stick purchase

I'm super happy with my purchase. I'm a surfer and I keep the face stick in my pocket while I'm surfing so I can reapply while in the ocean and not have to go back on the beach to put on more sunscreen. My friends that I surf with ask me to use my face stick while we are out in the water because they know I'm always prepared. It's a good thing I bought four of them on sale on the website for the same price I pay for one in a surf shop. I'm very happy! It's also an outstanding product it works very well!
