Why Is Non-Toxic Mineral SPF So Rare for Melanin-Rich Skin? We're Changing That.

Coming July 4: Daydream Mineral SPF for Deeper Skin Tones

Because suncare should work with your skin tone, not against it.

Finally, a deeply nourishing, truly non-toxic SPF made with darker skin tones in mind. It provides the same skin nourishing benefits as our original Daydream Mineral SPF formula but is specifically designed for your hue. No cast, no chalky or greasy residue. This SPF blends beautifully into your skin tone while offering real sun protection without covering up your skin. It’s not just SPF. It’s skincare.

 

Let’s talk about it: the lack of non-toxic mineral spf options for deeper toned skin


3 Main Issues:

 

1: Most mineral SPFs leave a white cast

Many mineral SPFs that claim to “blend in” still leave a chalky finish or white cast on deeper skin tones. And, while our original Daydream Mineral SPF melts beautifully into many complexions, we know it can still leave a slight cast on some darker skin tones. We heard you!

 

Our Solution

We took our popular Daydream formula and created a rich, deeper-toned shade that melts beautifully into melanin-rich skin without changing the ingredients you already know and love. No cast. No compromise. Just natural, non-toxic, nourishing skincare that doesn’t aim to cover up but blends right in.

 

2. Tinted SPFs are marketed as the solution but often contain harmful ingredients.

In a recent study of 385 sunscreen products found in retail stores, nearly 79 percent were traditional light formulas, while only 6 percent were specifically made for deeper skin tones. With that, none of the options for darker skin were truly natural or non-toxic.

 

Our Solution

We don’t believe deeper skin tones should have to choose between safe SPF ingredients and a seamless finish. Our new SPF is truly non toxic: no synthetics, no harsh preservatives, no fragrance. Just pure, holistic nourishment and mineral sun protection that blends in beautifully without covering up your skin. Because every hue deserves sun care that’s safe, not poison disguised as protection.

 

3. SPF options specifically formulated for deeper skin tones can be expensive

Even when you can find a mineral SPF formulated for darker skin tones, it’s often expensive, and that’s not even for the “cleaner” ones. And even then, many experience that the ingredients don’t live up to their claims.

 

Our Solution

We believe access to truly non-toxic sun protection shouldn’t be a luxury. Our Daydream Mineral SPF formula is non-toxic, natural, coconut-oil-free, and made with the same high standards we hold for every SBA product... without the inflated price tag. Bonus, a little goes a long way!
