Juice Beauty Organic Sunscreen Review

Green Apple, Melasma, Natural Skincare

Having researched the chemicals that are so often found in our every day skin care products, I have always made an effort to pay a little more money for quality, all natural, and organic choices.

Ten years ago when I was doing my research, I found it very frustrating because there were very few companies who had my high standards in the formulations of their products, today all natural and organic versions are much more abundant in the market place.

When more natural selections of beauty products started to make their way on store shelves, I still found it more difficult to find natural sunscreens. I’ve recently found one company who rates high on my list of preferences! This company is Juice Beauty, and they make a nice variety of all natural and organic sunscreens.

Juice Beauty tag line seems to be “The Organic Solution”. Their sunscreens feature formulations free of chemicals, yet they still offer a full spectrum SPF protection from the suns harmful rays. They protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

Some sunscreens contain what is called nano-sized ingredients, and if you do a simple search on this word, you will find numerous articles addressing concerns about these tiny particles capabilities to penetrate the skin. Juice Beauty does not use the nano sized particles, but rather micro-sized.

Their sunscreens feature mineral moisturizers. For your choosing, they offer:

SPF 30 Mineral Sheer Moisturizer for all skin types (in .25 & 2 ounces)
SPF 30 Mineral Light Moisturizer (lightly tinted, in .25 & 2 ounces)
SPF 20 Mineral Medium Moisturizer (a bit darker tint, in .25 & 2 ounces)
SPF 15 Green Apple Moisturizer
SPF 20 Green Apple Antioxidant Moisturizer
SPF 8 Lip Moisturizers

The moisturizing sunscreens available give you the option to choose your level of tint coverage, with mineral tints, to hide those nasty age spots, melasma spots, or any possible blemishes you wish to hide.

I am in my early 50’s, and I shudder to think about the chemicals that I have put into my body via sunscreens or moisturizers. Our skin is our bodies largest organ, and what we put on it ends up in it. How I wish organic, natural skincare products had been available 30 years ago! But if they were, I never saw them, nor heard of them.

One thing I always look for when purchasing a skincare product, especially online when I can’t see it for myself, is full disclosure of ingredients. If a company is confident enough to let me know what goes into their products, I am much more apt to purchase from them. The ingredients in Juice Beauty SPF 30 Mineral Sheer Moisturizer are as follows:

Active Ingredient: titanium dioxide 10%

Inactive Ingredients: juice of pyrus malus (apple) juice,* vitis vinifera (white grape) juice,* punica granatum (pomegranate) juice* & aloe barbadensis leaf juice,* cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract,* camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract,* glycerin, glyceryl stearate, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil*, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, caprylic/capric triglyceride, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), sodium PCA, hyaluronic acid, phospholipids, panthenol (vitamin B5), allantoin, cera alba (beeswax),* magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (vitamin C), benzyl alcohol, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, citrus aurantium (petitgrain), cinnamomum camphora (ho wood) & citrus reticulata (mandarin) pure essential oils.

Not only do Juice Beauty give the chemical name for the ingredients, but they also tell you the common name, and I find that SO helpful! Would you know that “pyrus malus” translates into “apple”? Not me! These formulas are full of amazing ingredients like certified organic white grape and pomegranate juices, vitamin antioxidants and essential nutrients to replenish and protect for optimum anti-aging benefits.

When considering natural, organic moisturizers containing sunscreens, Juice Beauty is right at the top of my list! These are excellent quality products.
