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.

How to recycle
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
Tube: 90% PCR CoEx tube
Cap: 100% PCR PP [5] cap
Box: FSC paper and soy based inks

CombinationWhat did you like about this product? Hydrating, Lightweight, Layers Easily, Gentle, Works Under MakeupRated 3 out of 5 stars2 hours agoIt’s good
It’s good, this is actually my first time trying the sunscreen from Keave Beauty. Wish I could have tried the original one but so far I’m liking it. It is a bit runny and I strongly dislike the packaging. I have to use it with the tube standing up or else is a mess everywhere and that makes the product waste. Please think of a better packaging. Also I recently heard they’re changing the formula for the Oat So Simple Water Cream and I’m saddened because I really love the moisturizer.

I love this product so I’m giving it 5 stars! I have loved it since its first iteration and I love the re-launch too. It feels like the perfect sunscreen for me. However I do wish the cap wasn’t so leaky. I find that a decent amount of product leaks out when I leave it standing on its cap. I hope they change the packaging so that stops happening.

NormalWhat did you like about this product? Lightweight, Non-sticky, Works Under MakeupRated 2 out of 5 starsYesterdayDefect in the packaging
This is my first time using the Beet the Sun (previously the Shield). I was excited for its return as I wanted to try the original one before. The product itself is 4/5, it applies well and wears well under make-up. However, the packaging is what makes me take it down to 2 stars.
It might be hard to tell from the photo but the sunscreen leaks out and pools in the lid. Not only is this wasted product but it also makes me question whether it is safe for me to continue using as it is constantly exposed to the air and elements without a proper seal. I don't know if I just got unlucky and got a defective product and the others are fine. But this was rather upsetting as my first experience. I won't be repurchasing this and probably will look to toss this as I can't trust whether the product is shelf stable any longer.

SensitiveWhat did you like about this product? Lightweight, Non-sticky, NourishingRated 4 out of 5 stars2 days agoWish it lasted longer!
Love how moisturizing it feels and that It doesn’t leave a white cast! Everything about the sunscreen itself is perfect the only negative is that it empties so quickly! Not sure if it was the bottle I got but I use 2 finger length’s every few hours and I’ve had sunscreen with the same fl oz last me at least a month and a half but this barely lasted 3 weeks! Not sure if I want to spend $20 every three weeks for sunscreen even though it’s great
- MMarinaReviewingBeet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++I recommend this productAge Range 18 - 24Skin Concern Acne, Oiliness, PoresWhat is your skin type? OilyWhat did you like about this product? Lightweight, HydratingRated 3 out of 5 stars2 days agoNot for oily acne prone skin!
I wanted to love this sunscreen so badly I bought 2 bottles and only was able to use the first one. I noticed that my eyes burned a lot especially after reapply it and after a couple weeks I was getting a lot of small white heads in places I usually don't break out, after stopping usually this product I haven't had any of these weird breakouts. It's also very dewy to the point where it was too much on my oily skin. I had people asking me if I was wearing a facial oil which I wasn't it was just this. This is probably amazing for dry skin.

Although we formulated BTS with all skin types in mind, there is still a chance your skin may react to the formula. The finish can definitely vary from person to person as it can be affected by other products in your routine or your skin type. We always advise performing a patch test when testing out a product for the first time to see how it would react or adjust to your skin.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, so please be on the lookout for an email from our Customer Care Team!
