Black Girl Sunscreen

Black Girl Sunscreen was founded in 2016 by Shontay Lundy to create SPF products specifically designed for melanin-rich skin tones -- leaving no white cast, no ashy residue, and no chalky finish. The brand addressed a massive gap in the sunscreen market where most products were formulated and tested primarily on lighter skin tones. Black Girl Sunscreen's flagship SPF 30 moisturizing sunscreen absorbs completely clear on dark skin. The brand has expanded and is sold at Target, Walmart, and Ulta.
