Description
I actually try to get at least 15 minutes of sun everyday. Vitamin D is very good for us! That said, there is a point when, too much direct sun is not good. This is when I pull out my SkinShade (non-nano sunscreen).
You might already know that many summer sun products readily available on the market today are packed full of horrific chemicals. In fact, oxybenzone, which is found in 80% of chemical sun care products has been shown to penetrate the skin, cause allergic reactions, and has been shown to disrupt hormones. Eek!
I have a wonderful solution – Pronounce SkinShade (non-nano sunscreen). My lotion is an incredibly smooth, mainly scentless, *non-toxic* one, which is incredibly effective. Because of the types and quality of ingredients I use, you can feel completely safe putting this on your 90 year old grandmother, you infant’s face, and your own skin. In fact, you will be moisturizing your skin by applying it!
______________________________________
Pronounce SkinShade contains the following ingredients…
*Coconut Oil (certified organic)
*Shea Butter (certified organic)
*Beeswax Pastiles (naturally processed)
*Sweet Almond Oil (certified organic)
*Zinc Oxide (uncoated, non-nano, and not micronized)
*Vitamin E Oil (non-GMO soy source)
The zinc oxide I use in Pronounce SkinShade is uncoated, non-nano, and not micronized. This all means that there are not nano-sized particles entering your body, which many other products certainly cannot claim. The FDA does not regulate this yet, but I think that they should and I take it very seriously.
Because I use zinc oxide that is not micronized (meaning that the particles aren’t crushed into super small parts that enter our bodies), this is like a thick, incredibly soft lotion. It melts when it hits your skin and it rubs it in beautifully, but it is not thin and runny like other toxic sun protection products. I actually appreciate this very much.
______________________________________
I do not have equipment to scientifically measure levels of SPF, however, through all of the research I have done, I can tell you that this product is at least SPF 20, possibly higher.
Speaking of…did you know that the higher the SPF number does not really mean better coverage? Really, it’s true! Do a quick Google search! I have learned that SPF protection does not increase proportionally to an increase in SPF. For example, an SPF of 2 absorbs 50% of UV rays, SPF 15 absorbs 93%, and an SPF of 34 absorbs 97% of UV rays. Interesting, huh?
______________________________________
**Just like other natural and non-toxic products of this nature, you should reapply this at least every hour or so. I add beeswax to this recipe, which helps it stay on in the water, but like many other products like this, it will come off with lots of water play (and excessive sweating).
Also, this product will “set up” when in cold temperatures and will soften (not melt)Â when really hot. None of this affects the function of the product, at all. If it gets cold and solidifies, put it somewhere warm and vice versa.
______________________________________
2.3oz, 6oz, & 16oz SkinShades are housed in beautiful recyclable, thick-walled glass jars; 4oz SkinShades are packaged in fantastic recyclable squeeze tubes.

I just received my second jar of sunscreen. I have a strong family history of melanoma and I tend to burn easily, so sunscreen is a must for me. I work outside in a large vegetable garden many hours a day, and this sunscreen protects me from burning! I usually only need to apply it once during the day, because it lasts so long (probably would need to apply more if I were in water). The sunscreen is white when initially applied, but a little rubbing absorbs the color change. This is the ONLY brand of sunscreen I use – please never stop making it!! Thanks to Jess for her great customer service and superb, safe products!

I have fair, sensitive skin that burns easily. I have tried other sunscreens with zinc oxide and I ended up with a clown-white face. This product goes on smooth and isn’t sticky or greasy. And most important, I’m protected. I love it!

This is the only sunblock I can put on before my runs outside..I even wore it for a marathon and I didn’t get a sun burn after almost 5 hours of running outside! I use it daily and it never burns my eyes when I’m sweating:)

I have all kinds of skin irritation/ allergies so this year I went searching for a natural sunscreen that still did its job but didn’t irritate my face and this stuff is it!! It feels like store bought but goes on nice, feels great all day and doesn’t give me a rash or make me feel itchy!! Also I love that it has no scents, I hate the artificial smells in some sunscreens so I was pleasantly surprised to open the container and find out I could put it on my face and not have a horrible smell all day!! Total win!!

Purchased the 4 oz squeeze bottle and smeared it on my arms and neck before a day walking around Portsmouth, NH, all day and my SKIN DID NOT BURN. It hardly got any color! It felt so luxurious and kept my skin nice and silky soft. I did not have that icky sticky sunblock feeling at all. Definitely recommending!

I tend to break out when wearing store bought facial sunscreen, so I was really happy to come across this product. It smells great, goes on super smooth, and feels really light. As other people are saying, a little bit goes a long way so this stuff will last. I love that it has real ingredients that are healing to the skin. I love this stuff so much, I now use it everyday as my moisturizer before I put on the Pronounce foundation and powder.
I can’t say ‘thank you’ enough to Pronounce for bringing high quality skin products to the marketplace that contain healing, healthy ingredients ! Thank you, thank you!

I was a little leery of using a natural sunscreen because I burn so easily. This product also applies a little greasy which had me concerned that I would fry in the sun. However I did not burn at all! I feel like I had comparable sun protection as I would with an SPF 50. One thing to note, I was rather sweaty and the sweat would literally just roll down my skin. I’m assuming because of the beeswax and oil. Not a big deal though considering the amount of sun protection and the lack of harsh chemicals. Will definitely purchase again!

So I found this Skinshade via Pinterest – planning to make my own. But I’ve got 3 kids under 5 and realistically don’t have the time yet. So when I discovered that I can buy it ready made, knowing exactly what is in it, I was over the moon! I’m really impressed with the quality and that the recipe is published so I can make my own once I’ve got more time! Great!!

Anyone who knows me is aware that I’m obsessed with sunscreen.
That’s because I’m very obsessed with preventing skin cancer, wrinkles, dark spots, and sunburns. I always apply sunscreen before I head out the house and I try to remember to grab that one bottle of sunscreen in my backpack after a few hours, but admittedly, I’m always uncertain about reapplying it because of all the chemicals in it. In high school, I heard that sunscreen actually CAUSED skin cancer and I read articles about some of the ingredients in some sunscreen brands were actually shown to be toxic to the skin. There were some brands that were listed to be more safe for the skin, so I just stuck with those.
But now I have discovered the Pronounce SkinShade, my new sunshade obsession. I had no idea what non-nano zinc oxide even meant until I read the description, which made me order this product immediately even before I was addicted to Pronounce products. I was initially unsure about how effective this product was and figured that I may as well just use it as a day moisturizer if it failed to work since it’s so moisturizing, but let me tell you, when I’m out in the sun for just a few minutes, my face and the back of my neck immediately turns very red and sensitive. I’ve been using this product for the past few weeks and my skin has yet to turn red or feel sensitive even when I’m in the sun for over an hour.
It works. But even if didn’t work, it’s a great moisturizer!

This Skinshade face lotion and sunscreen is amazing! I have very sensitive skin — most drugstore brands irritate my skin — but I have no problem using this product. I love it! I use it as my daily moisturizer and get the added benefits of sun protection. My face stays hydrated throughout the day.

This sunscreen is great! Love that it is non toxic and I don’t have to re-apply when swimming like regular sunscreen. Definitely worth the extra money! Also as a side note, it is very thick, but I find it easier to spread when it’s warm.

I started using the Pronounce Sunshade last summer. We ride motorcycles a lot and I’m pretty pale. I love that this product is all natural and it works just as well as the commercial stuff without all the bad chemicals. It goes on smoothly, like a moisturizer, and is actually great for my skin. I highly recommend it. By the way, thank you for coming out with the 4 oz tube. It’s great for throwing in the saddle bag to reapply when needed.

Pronounce Sunshade is not only a phenomenal sunscreen, it’s a rich moisturizer too. I put it on my face daily & any exposed areas of my body when going out in the sun whether walking or driving. I’ve had no burns or any issues since using it for the past couple of months. It moisturizers my dry skin perfectly. I have experienced no burning or itching as I have with other sunscreens. Thanks for such a wonderful product.

I love the basic ingredients I’m this product and it’s effectiveness. I use it all the time for all activities with my 2 year old and infant and they never burn!!! Love this product!!

I love this! I have extremely sensitive skin (allergic to almost everything) as well as being very very fair skinned. Best product I’ve used!
Option suggestion adding 2-5 drops of tea tree oil per 8oz (2 works great but can add more based on preference of scent and cooking effect) it discourages bacteria growth for a longer shelf life and gives a great cooling effect on hot days

Forgot to use my coupon. Scratch Mommy promptly made things right. Pleasant transaction and quick delivery. Love the label design. Love the ingredients. The lotion was very stiff and a bit lumpy but after rubbing it in my hands it “melted” into a divine spreadable body butter like consistency. The zinc oxide made me look a bit white but I’d rather look white than lobster red. lol. Loved the smell. I wore it on the beach (didn’t test in the ocean yet) then went to bed without a shower. I was exhausted for one reason. The other reason is that I felt good about the ingredients remaining on my skin. My skin felt moisturized and soft in the morning. This is a great product. The ONLY thing I would change is accessibility to the product. A deep and wide jar would be my preference. It was a bit difficult squeezing it out of the bottle. I had to take off the lid. Maybe a bottle with a wider spout/opening in the lid. Anyway, will purchase again. Love it. Thank you.
