Our goal as a sunscreen company was to create socially responsible, broad spectrum sunscreen that uses not harmful chemicals, is effective and healthy for the your family, and the environment. AMAVARA guarantees the sun protection and skin aesthetics to feel confident enough to stay active outdoors and embrace nature.

Innovation, eco protection and inclusivity are at the heart of Amavara’s formula; meticulously designed by world renowned chemist and sunscreen expert, Laura Singleton, and skin cancer survivor and entrepreneur, Craig Irving, to function with all skin types and skin tones, allowing everyone to achieve superior protection with ease.

Craig’s love for surfing, swimming, hiking, the outdoors combined with Laura’s unparalleled expertise in sun care and skin aesthetics informed the AMAVARA brand. We are so proud of the products we have developed, the commitment to an eco safe future, and a healthier you, inside and out.

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.

Great for surfers

Stayed on and no sunburn. Love this sunscreen!

Amavara IS the BEST

My favorite Sunscreen hands down - and its reef safe!

Flawless

It’s my favorite sunscreen. It’s tinted enough to smoothen my skin, but not so much that makes me look fake! I play tennis and beach volleyball and absolutely LOVE it.

Love Amavara

This is my 5th year using Amavara sunscreen. I work outside on top of a mountain summer and winter. This is the only sunscreen I trust to protect my face. Love it❤️

Great product!

This is one of the few SPF 50 tinted moisturizers I found that were rated to have safe ingredients on EWG’s Skin Deep website. I like it a lot but pricier than similar products.
