Mother Nature-approved sun protection
It’s no secret that conventional sunscreen contains chemicals and artificial ingredients that wreak havoc on precious marine life, especially our coral reefs. As a brand on a mission to protect the oceans, Raw Elements is committed to only using ingredients that have been produced by Mother Nature herself. They individually select and source sunscreen ingredients to be certified cruelty-free and non-GMO certified, along with other certifications. And their plastic-free line is a testament to their dedication to eventually reaching 100% plastic-free packaging for all of their products.
If it isn’t made by Mother Earth, it isn’t in Raw Elements sunscreen. Their sole active ingredient is non-nano zinc oxide, and all of their inactive ingredients are either certified organic or certified natural and sustainably sourced.

About the Brand
Raw Elements
Founded by an ocean lifeguard, Raw Elements is making the safest and most effective sunscreens on the planet. Not just a brand, they are a global movement on a mission to protect the health of people and the environment.
Through his experience as a lifeguard, founder Brian Guadagno realized how harmful chemical sunscreens were and went on a quest to find a safe and effective solution, but found a void in the market instead. After doing a great deal of research, he turned his kitchen into a lab and began formulating his own. Today, Raw Elements is developing new, innovative ways with their team of fellow humans to create the most trustworthy sun care.
