Meet Solar Milk Mineral SPF, Beekman 1802’s first-ever mineral sunscreen and the newest addition to our bestselling Solar Milk SPF skincare line.
Made with next generation mineral zinc technology, our clinically proven goat milk, and other natural, skin-friendly ingredients, Solar Milk Mineral SPF is the first mineral sunscreen on the market designed to protect and support sensitive skin like yours.
The best part? With Solar Milk Mineral SPF, you get all the benefits of using a 100% mineral formula—without the white cast and chalkiness caused by most other mineral sunscreens.
Read on to learn more about the innovative skin-first formula inside our new Solar Milk Mineral SPF and how it’s changing the SPF game for sensitive skin.
Why Mineral SPF Is Having a Major Moment
More people than ever report having sensitive skin, with one study claiming that approximately 70% of the world’s population is affected by the condition.
Despite this high percentage, most sunscreens are still made with chemicals that are too harsh for sensitive skin. And because chemical-based sunscreens absorb into the skin, they are more likely to cause redness, irritation, inflammation, and allergic reactions.
Mineral sunscreens are typically made with gentler ingredients that are safer for sensitive skin. They also don’t absorb into the skin like chemical-based formulas do; instead, they sit on top of it. Since ingredients aren’t passing through the skin’s protective barrier, skin is less likely to experience intense irritation or allergic reactions.
Here are a few other things to know about mineral sunscreens:

The Biggest Reason People Avoid Mineral SPF—and Why Solar Milk Mineral SPF Is the Solution
When it comes to sun protection, something is better than nothing. And with so many people experiencing painful irritation and redness caused by chemical sunscreens, mineral is clearly better than chemical.
So why aren’t more people using mineral sunscreens?
According to the Cleveland Clinic, many avoid using mineral sunscreen because of its thick texture and tendency to leave a white cast on the skin. Most options on the market are too heavy, too hard to apply, and too obvious—especially for those with darker skin tones.
But not anymore.
Our new Solar Milk Mineral SPF features two new, innovative technologies that make it light and easy to wear—no matter your skin tone:
-
Next Generation Melting-Microscopic Zinc Technology cuts the typical mineral sunscreen particle size in half. No more thick, clumpy application!
-
Sheer Shield goes on pink—thanks to antioxidant-packed dragon fruit—then blends in clear for a velvety finish that’s never white or chalky.
These innovations raise the bar for mineral sunscreen everywhere. And when combined with the Clinically Kind® ingredients you know and love, they take Solar Milk Mineral SPF from suncare to true Beekman 1802–quality skincare.
A Sunscreen That Acts Like Skincare
If you know Beekman 1802, then you know our goal is to create Kind-to-skin products that strengthen the skin barrier, balance the skin's microbiome, and make sensitive skin healthier and happier.
This goes for all our skincare products—including our new Solar Milk Mineral SPF.
Inside this first-of-its-kind mineral sunscreen, you’ll find natural ingredients that protect and support overall skin health, including:
-
Our clinically proven goat milk, packed with 31 key nutrients your skin needs.
-
Reef-Safe Zinc Oxide to protect and soothe skin during sun exposure without negatively impacting our ocean’s reefs.
-
Ceramides, a type of fatty acid that hydrates and replenishes your skin’s natural protective barrier.
-
Squalane, a naturally occurring oil that moisturizes dry skin.
-
Dragon fruit, a natural antioxidant that protects skin from oxidative stress and boosts collagen production.
Plus, it works over moisturizers, under makeup, and is non-comedogenic, so you never have to worry about greasy, clogged pores caused by traditional sunscreens.
And, like all your favorite Beekman 1802 products, Solar Milk Mineral SPF is dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, and safe for even the most sensitive skin.
It’s a mineral sunscreen unlike any other. But it’s still just one part of protecting your sensitive skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. To truly care for your sensitive skin this summer, you’ll want to pair Solar Milk Mineral SPF with another skin-safe Beekman 1802 product.
