It goes on smooth and settles in comfortably, sitting on top of your skin as a light, powerful physical barrier that protects you in and out of the water. The Sahara tint is made for golden and olive undertones, so you get full protection without the stark white look. Fuller's Earth Clay leaves your skin feeling soft and clean afterward. The formula is non-greasy, water resistant (80 minutes), and won't run into your eyes. It's made with natural, certified fair trade and organic ingredients and comes in packaging that's free of plastic.

Another must have product
Had received my first Muscle Salve tin as a gift, and it is now definitely another of my favorite products from Sunmud. The scent is very light, it goes on smooth and helps a gentle massage to glide over the skin nicely.
I also want to share that after using the sunscreen on my face for three months now the condition of my skin has improved due to the protection it provides. Love my Sunmud products.

Finally an effective sunscreen in an easy to apply face stick that doesn’t feel greasy. I also like that it’s not harmful to the environment and is produced in earth friendly packaging.

Solid and long lasting coverage.
Another long surf session in the Tahitian water and felt covered for hours. Find what tint works best for you and go.

Sunmud is Proven in Arizona Sun & Heat
After using many types of products for my face, Sunmud has proven to prevent burns and also not run into my eyes…especially during sweaty MTB rides and workouts in sunny & hot conditions. The best part is that there is no chemical irritation in my eyes from wearing it on my face and neck like many other brands.

Surf Tested
I wanted a tinted stick that was reef safe and had staying power, so I pulled the trigger on the Sahara shade. I've been surfing this most recent south swell at a certain San Diego canyon break. After 2+ hour sessions, the sun-screen still wiped off on my towel, which proved it's staying power. Unburnt and I don't look white-ghostfaced when I go to get my post-session burrito. However, be warned, if you're precious about your towels maybe have some wipes or a separate face towel if that'll bother you. I'll recommend this stuff to the rest of my surf club.

Unbeatable Solar Serum and Sunscreen
I recently purchased some of the tinted terra sunscreen and the solar serum for my trip to Mexico. My face stayed unburnt the entire time with SUNMUD, and it felt smooth going on, and stayed on the entire day. The solar serum felt great after my shoulders got a bit burnt (forgot to put sunscreen on them) providing some much needed relief. Overall a 10/10, perfect for snorkeling, laying on the beach, and being in the sun all day. Loved it for my trip, and still have plenty more to use!

Long lasting
Great for a quick face application and a long surf. Won’t run in your eyes and you no it’s still there a few hours later.

Great Sunblock
Use the mineral sunscreen for sunblock when surfing….it stays on the skin for a couple of hours and provides great sun protection

Thank you…
I crossed paths with Charlie and Maricruz in the dog beach parking lot. I had been drone filming a sunset session and wanted to tell them I may have gotten clips of them surfing. Charlie asked me if I wore sunblock and I immediately thought to myself first of all, is my skin really that bad, that he was able to notice it when it was dark outside and next was like this guy is really mean. I was wrong on both accounts. They were smiling from ear to ear and were both very passionate as they began to tell me about SUNMUD. He stoked me out with a sample of the Ivory mineral sunscreen. I’m from south florida - we know sunscreens - trust. They are onto something here. Used it today and loved the product - not greasy and did not run into my eyes at all. Stayed on for whole day coverage. I just hope I can find their surfing clips now…anyways, hope we cross paths again sometime - see u in the water🤙!Aaron

Sports stick Sahara
As a swim teacher, I love using the sports stick most! It keeps my skin so moisturized instead of dry. I love using it on my face and hands the most! And as someone learning to surf, and someone who wants to protect Mother Earth at the same time, you are really getting the best of all worlds!

As far as the actual sunscreen it is a good product and works well. Only reason for the 4 star and not 5 is the cardboard container it’s in is a little flimsy if it had a wax coating on outside of it I think it would hold up better especially when it’s on a ski boat or beach where your around water and might get wet.
