Ocean-Friendly SPF 30 Sunscreen (Lavender + Eucalyptus)
Absolutely LOVE this sunscreen. A little bit goes a long way and the small glass container has lasted me all summer long. It smells fabulous and rubs in easily. Great feeling to get that sun protection while also feeling good about what I'm rubbing into my skin. Highly recommend!

Seriously - The Best Sunscreen
I love this stuff! I use it daily - First of all - it smells amazing. You'd never know you are wearing sunscreen. It goes on easily, smoothly, and actually feels really moisturizing! I'm sold for life!

Sunscreen favorite
I like to feel like a sunscreen is really protecting my skin, and this one does. It is a little thick, in that the white streaks need to be blended in, but that's ok with me if I prevent a burn!

messy
It's super-runny. And when I shake the bottle, it leaks out the cap/pump and sprays everywhere. And being a pump, I can't take it traveling. I like the ingredients, but I'm not sure I'd buy it again unless they change the bottle.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your concerns about our sunscreen! I know we've chatted about this via email, but I wanted to update here too that our newest batch of sunscreen is definitely thicker and shouldn't have this problem. I've also spoken with our vendor about this issue and she's going to keep this in mind for future batches to ensure it's not as thin as the batch before. Thank you again for sharing your concerns!
refills to your doorstep
Refill > Landfill
It's easy to get your everyday essentials refilled, no matter where you live.
Here's how it works...
1. On your first order of a new product, choose the “New Bottle” or “New Jar” option.
This tells us it’s your first time purchasing this product from our online shop.
2. We’ll ship (or deliver) it to you!
If you’ve ordered something liquid (maybe shampoo or body lotion), we will include a plastic pump in your order.
3. When you’re running low, order the same product, but choose the “Refill” option.
We’ll send you another bottle or jar of your chosen product, and will include a return label in the box for your empty container. If you’ve ordered something liquid, the refill order will not include a pump.
If we're delivering your order instead of shipping, just leave your empties on your porch on delivery day (Tuesday) and we'll pick them up when we drop off your new items.
4. If you’ve ordered something liquid, transfer the pump from the old bottle to the new one.
Then place the cap from the new bottle onto the old one.
5. Pack the empty container(s) into the same box the new ones arrived in, put the return label on the box, and hand it off to USPS.
When we receive the empty containers, we will wash and sanitize them, and get them back into circulation to be used again and again.
