A lightweight chemical sunscreen that’s made to look and feel like your skin. It has UV and antioxidant properties from supercharged beetroot extract to help defend against the sun and other environmental aggressors without any extra drama.
A Simple Solution to a Once-Complicated SPF Protection
We’ve all been there before. You’ve completed your skincare routine and now you’re trying to find the right sunscreen so you can get on with your day. But now you’re faced with so many options and too many SPF facts that’re making you, your brain, and your skin go haywire.
Enter Beet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++! We formulated it to remove the barrier that once made us stressed out when thinking about sun protection. With its truly universal formula and full transparency from production to launch, it’s the sunscreen you know that has your back and wants to keep reaching for again and again.
PETA-certified vegan and cruelty-free.
Key Ingredients:
Beetroot Extract: provides anti-inflammatory & antioxidant properties to combat free radicals and UV rays.
Vitamin E: helps reinforce barrier repair and smooths out the look of skin.
Hyaluronic Acid: attracts & retains moisture to keep skin hydrated all day.
Propanediol: helps prevent skin damage & water loss.
Actives:
Homosalate 10% which absorb short-wave UVB rays
Octisalate 5% to help with the water-resistance of the formula and also provide protection from UVB rays
Avobenzone 3% to keep skin safe from both UVB and UVA rays
Octocrylene 3% to capture harmful UV rays before its absorbed into the skin and also has emollient properties
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.

Pair with Oat So Simple Water Cream
When you're craving: Gentle, extra hydrating sun protection
Why it works: Lightweight hydration meets defense against harsh UV rays and other environmental aggressors.
How to use: Apply moisturizer as needed then follow up with sunscreen.
Extra Tip: Allow sunscreen to absorb into the skin 15 minutes before sun exposure.
Step 1: Clean and separate! Before recycling, make sure you rinse the tube and cap so that they’re completely free of product. It’s important to separate the cap from the tube.
Step 2: Investigate! The tube is made from 90% PCR CoEx tube. Unfortunately, because CoEx is a mix of 3 different plastics (LDPE, PCR HDPE, and EVOH), it is not currently recyclable throughout most of the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The cap is made from 100% PCR PP [5] cap. PP is a “rigid plastic” so it can be recycled through some curbside programs. We recommend checking with your local recycling.
Step 3: Recycle (the cap)! If your local recycling program accepts type 5 plastic, feel free to toss the cap into your recycling bin.
Materials Used

If you are looking for a silky, light weight, and no white cast sunscreen, then you have come to the right place. I used the OG beet the sun sunscreen back in 2020 and was so excited for it's return! The Krave team did not disappoint because the formula feels the same and glides onto your face so easily. I actually REMEMBER to reapply. This is by far in my top 3 sunscreens I've used. The only downside for me is that it can be noticeably oily on my face upon using in the morning, but it does not feel oily.

I like that the formula sinks into the skin quickly, leaving the skin very hydrated but not greasy or heavy feeling. There is zero white cast and no sunscreen smell, since it is not mineral based. I like to wear this under my makeup. Love this sunscreen!
