We created sun protection products for every day use. Black Girl Sunscreen should be incorporated into your everyday skincare routine. It fights against
sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. BGS protects your skin from sun rays without leaving behind a white cast and also doubles as a
moisturizing lotion.
Why should everyone wear sunscreen?
Everyone should wear sunscreen to protect them against UVA & UVB rays. Protection against these rays helps prevent skin cancers,
hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and sunburns.
Should people of color wear sunscreen? Why?
People of color SPECIFICALLY should wear sunscreen because according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, the 5-year melanoma
survival rate for black people in the United States is 71%, compared with 93% for white people. While black people are getting
melanoma less, we are dying more frequently than others.
Yes, darker skin does protect from some UV rays, but we actually do need to wear sunscreen too. Learn more about why melanin is
amazing but still needs sunscreen protection
What is SPF? What SPF should I use?
SPF stands for sun protection factor which measures how long a sunscreen will protect you from ultraviolet (UV) rays. For reference
SPF 15 sunscreen blocks 93% of UVB rays, SPF 30 sunscreen protects 97% of UVB rays and SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays. We
suggest using an SPF 30 or SPF 50 as this will provide adequate protection and coverage.

Broad spectrum is protection against both UVA and UVB rays. These are the rays that cause aging and burning.

against sun damage leaving no white residue and a dewy finish. You can shop Make it Hybrid™ SPF 50
