Looking for the best natural and organic sunscreens? You’ve found them!

We’re proud to have thousands of 5-star reviews for our natural and organic sun care collection. Here we explain what makes Green People sun creams so good at keeping sensitive skin safe in the sun.

Discover the benefits of Green People sunscreens

Natural, organic & skin-friendly

Many people ask us what makes our natural and organic sun care collection so special, and we say it's what we leave out!

Designed to be kind to sensitive skin and prickly heat, we don’t use pore-clogging filler ingredients or skin-drying alcohols; our gluten-free sunscreens are powered by natural plant actives that benefit your skin!

Did we mention that most are dermatologically tested, too? We only use ingredients that we consider safe for the skin and are proud that so many products in our sun care collection are clinically proven to be kind to sensitive skin.

Here are some of our favourite sunscreens for sensitive skin:

365-day protection for all the family

We believe that everyone should protect their skin from the sun every day. That’s why we offer a wide range of sun care products to suit every skin type and every season!

Our travel-size tubes make it easy to top up your sun protection wherever you go. We also protect the most delicate skin with our gentle but effective SPF collection for children.

Broad-spectrum

We protect against more than just sunburn. All Green People sun creams are broad-spectrum, effectively shielding against ageing UVA and burning UVB sun rays.

How do we achieve this? The physical mineral filters we use are Titanium Dioxide and non-nano Zinc Oxide. These work by physically reflecting UV rays to prevent UV radiation from reaching the skin's surface.

Some Green People sun creams also feature organic Edelweiss, which is a natural UV booster.

Other filters we use include Isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate, which comes from the cinnamon tree, and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzyl Hexyl Benzoate, which protects against UVB.

Antioxidant-rich

Every Green People sun cream bottle has a moisturising base made with antioxidant-rich Aloe Vera. Gentle on the skin, this soothes and softens with skin-nourishing vitamins and minerals.

And Aloe Vera is not the only antioxidant we use. Edelweiss Extract, Rosemary Extract and Green Tea all make it into our sun care formulas and protect your skin cells from free radical damage. Read more about the benefits of antioxidants in sunscreen.

Water repellent

Need your SPF to be water repellent? Our organic plant oils, plant-based waxes and emollients repel water but allow the skin to breathe.

Perfect for protecting against prickly heat, our non-pore clogging formulas also allow sweat to escape the skin.

Ocean-friendly

We care as much about the ocean as you do! To help make our sun creams ocean-friendly, we refuse to use Oxybenzone, Octinoxate and Octocrylene

To further protect our seas and shorelines, we are proud to continue our partnership with the Marine Conservation Society and donate 20p from selling every full-size Scent Free SPF30 Sun Cream to this vital cause.

Ethical

Care for your skin without compromise. Our sun care products are cruelty-free and verified by the Vegan Society, and we’re proud to present them in fully recyclable, renewable sugar cane tubes.

For every 1 kilo of sugar cane plastic produced, 3 kilos of C02 is removed from our atmosphere. This exchange can be described as being climate-positive. Read more about our innovative sugar cane packaging.
