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.

I love this sunscreen I have a pretty oily, redness prone, and acne prone skin. It is so nice. It makes your skin glowy but not greasy looking. It soaks in really nicely and I put makeup over it after waiting like 10-15 minutes and there was no peeling. There was no weird separation. I'm really enjoying it so far!!

SensitiveWhat did you like about this product? Nourishing, Hydrating, Lightweight, Layers Easily, GentleRated 4 out of 5 stars1 week agoExcellent Product, Poor Packaging
I love this sunscreen! It makes my skin feel hydrated, the sun protection is great, and the formula is gentle on my skin in a way chemical sunscreens usually aren’t. I’m on my third bottle and it’s such a joy to use on my skin. Ive used it for field work and also as my daily driver sunscreen. However, it’s pretty much impossible to travel with this sunscreen bc the cap has a terrible seal and product leaks everywhere! It doesn’t matter if you’re flying or driving, this product will get all over the inside of the cap, wasting a lot of valuable product because of a poor seal on the cap.
