Organic sunscreen for sensitive skin

Organic sunscreens are extremely gentle and many people with sensitive skin have had great success with them. The problem of sensitive skin is a common one; according to a Canadian study, almost 50% of women believe they have sensitive skin! If you do have sensitive skin, you may find that it reacts to a variety of skin care products – deodorants, skin creams and perhaps sunscreen too.

Sensitive skin care in the sun

Organic sunscreens like those from Green People are ideal for those with sensitive skin because they do not contain harsh ingredients. Some ingredients used in the “big brand” sun lotions can cause sensitive skin to come up a rash which is often misinterpreted as prickly heat.

Green People’s organic sunscreens also do not contain artificial fragrances as these are a common cause of reaction in those with sensitive skin. Some of our sun creams have a natural scent that comes from essential oils, such as our SPF15 sun lotion, whereas others, like the SPF22 sun lotion, are completely fragrance-free. Read more about the ingredients we avoid in our sun lotions.

If you are looking for a sun cream for very sensitive skin, we would recommend the No Scent SPF22 for adults or the No Scent SPF25 for children. Fragrance-free sunscreens are the gentlest option and least likely to cause a skin reaction.

Green People’s organic sunscreen

They protect against UVA and UVB rays and also support the skin’s immune system and protect against cell damage. Read more about why Green People's sun lotions are a great choice.
