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.

No White Cast, Lightweight, Not Very Runny, Non Sticky, Protective!
honestly don’t know why so many people don’t like this sunscreen maybe they have oily skin?
For me, I personally love dewy skin which it is not sticky but makes my skin looks healthier!
This sunscreen is my favorite , I have extremely sensitive and dry skin . I even feel like my skin has improved from sun damage. I am purchasing the second time.!!!
Just keep in mind that it could be too shiny when apply too much.
- MMichelleVerified BuyerReviewingBeet The Sun SPF 40 PA+++I do not recommend this productAge Range 25 - 34Skin Concern AcneWhat is your skin type? NormalRated 1 out of 5 starsYesterdayCystic acne & Clogged pores
It pains me to write this review, but for anyone who has struggled with acne it’s important to know.
Started developing a lot of clogged pores and cystic acne - hadn’t changed much in my routine and I don’t typically have sensitive skin so I was surprised when I stopped using this sunscreen that my skin started to clear up but that when I went back to using it the cystic acne was back. When I was younger I was on accurate and haven’t experienced painful pimples in quite some time.
I am really bummed this sunscreen didn’t work out for me as I bought 2 bottles of it and now it’s too late to return :/

Although we formulated BTS with all skin types in mind, there is still a chance your skin may react to the formula. We always advise performing a patch test when testing out a product for the first time to see how it would react to your skin.

I normally love Krave products, but this was a total miss for me. The texture is really runny and leaves your skin really dewy, both of which aren't my personal preference but could be a positive for some. Unfortunately, this burned my eyes pretty bad. It didn't burn right away, but every day I used it without fail at some point my eyes would start to burn to the point where I needed to wash my eyes. I've used other chemical sunscreens that don't do that and I also don't have sensitive eyes so this is a pretty unusual thing for me. Really disappointed in this product.
