Reef-Safe Sun Care

Beautycounter's Countersun Protects Against UVA, UVB and Blue Light

Beautycounter's Countersun is now being introduced as a clean and safe sun care collection that's lightweight and water-resistant. The product range includes the Mineral Sunscreen Mist, the Mineral Sunscreen Lotion and the Mineral Sunscreen Stick, all of which boast SPF 30.

The sun care products are powered by the antioxidant-rich California Poppy and non-nano zinc oxide, which are large particles that are less likely to be inhaled or absorbed into the skin. Additionally, the products are free from Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, which are commonly used in sunscreen products around the world and known to harmfully impact coral reefs and ocean life.

The Countersun sunscreen products provide protection from not just UVA and UVB rays, but also the blue light that is emitted from electronic devices that can speed up the visible signs of aging.
