Launched in 2016 by founder Shontay Lundy, Black Girl Sunscreen was created to address a significant gap in the market for effective sun protection that caters to women of color. Motivated by her own frustration with sunscreens that left a visible, chalky white cast on her skin, Lundy invested her savings to develop a solution. The brand’s core product is a moisturizing SPF 30 lotion formulated with natural ingredients like avocado, jojoba, and sunflower oil, designed to dry completely clear. This unique formulation doubles as a hydrating lotion, eliminating the ashy finish common with traditional sunscreens.
