Solara Suncare Review

Solara Suncare

I’m so excited to share my Solara Suncare review with you guys! When it comes to switching to healthier personal care products, you know that sunscreen ranks pretty high on the list of things to find a better swap for. But if you’ve ever tried to find a cleaner sunscreen swap, then you know some of the struggles (hello chalky texture and pasty, white cast!).

Luckily, I’ve found a few favorites in this category over the years, but I’m always happy to discover another high-quality, squeaky clean sunscreen brand. So, thanks to lots of time at home and warm, sunny weather the last several weeks, I’ve spent some time testing out Solara Suncare and knew right away it was a special brand that I needed to share it with you!

Solara Suncare Review

Solara Sunscreen

Clean Freak Nutrient Boosted Daily Sunscreen 

This one is great for everyday or for beach days and it’s perfect for the whole family. It does go on fairly sheer and has a light-weight feel. I recommend shaking or kneading the tube a bit first and then thoroughly rubbing it in so it doesn’t leave a white cast. This is also a nice pick for those looking for a face sunscreen SPF 30 or around that.

I also love the nice beachy, slightly fruity scent made from plant extracts. It hydrates skin without leaving any greasiness behind (another problem which plagues most mineral sunscreens!). So it’s good for oily skin.

Good Karma Dry Oil Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30

Good Karma quickly became one of my favorites! I love a good dry oil and this lives up to that. It rubs on easily and absorbs into skin well. It works great on dry skin or if you need a bit of moisturizing, too. With Sunflower Seed Oil and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, it has just the right level of hydration and moisture. 

This is one of the few mineral sunscreens that I feel applies just as sheer as chemical sunscreens do.

Pout Protector Moisturizing Lip Serum 

The lightweight gloss protects lips from the sun and other environmental damage and also has skin-nourishing ingredients. This was the only product from Solara Suncare that I had an issue with the white cast. It was much harder to rub it in enough so I couldn’t see it. I did apply it over some lip colors to solve the problem (while it did slightly change the color, it was less obvious than on my lips alone). That said, the performance seems to be pretty good and as someone who has had a sunburn on their lips before (really not fun) I’ll probably continue wearing it through the summer when I’ll be in the sun all day.

Guardian Angel Super Peptide Sunscreen Milk SPF 50

This is such a unique product! It’s a sunscreen serum that goes on like skincare but protects your face with SPF 50. It’s great for all skin types, even sensitive skin. It has so many beneficial ingredients to treat skin. In addition to the sunscreen actives, it has chubula fruit extract (full of antioxidants and hydrates similar to hyaluronic acid), peptides, jojoba esters, coco-caprylate and caprylic capric triglyceride, and more.

Day Dreamer Super Peptide Eye Primer

Not only does this protect with SPF 30, it also has a dream list of ingredients to treat the eye area. Everything from tackling puffiness, brightness, texture, and of course, protecting from future damage. A blend of peptides, adaptogenic chaga, and snow mushroom provides lasting hydration and soothing care, while skin-conditioning botanicals support a refreshed, silky-smooth finish that feels cool and comfortable all day.

Overall, I’m really impressed with this line and excited to add it to my pool bag this summer. Here’s to sunny weather!

  1. You are the second person to recommend this line and I am so encouraged that you both said that it doesn’t turn your skin white. So very happy to hear this! Thanks for the review.

  2. Hi Annette! I was so happy to find it actually is more sheer than some other versions. It has a different feel and I think it’s due to it being a water-based formula rather than an oil-based one like most. Thanks for reading!
