Yes. Surface protects your skin from harmful UV rays, but doesn’t block out the sun entirely. You can still get that sun-kissed glow—safely. We recommend SPF 30 or higher and reapplying every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. 

Absolutely. All skin tones are at risk for sun damage, including sunburn, spots, wrinkles, and skin cancer. Surface is designed to be lightweight and blendable for all skin tones—with minimal white cast (except for our mineral lotion, which may leave a slight residue).

Every 2 hours—more often if you're sweating, swimming, or toweling off. Pro tip: apply 15 minutes before heading outside so it has time to set. Our travel-sized lotions make reapplying on the go easy.

Always. We love animals. 

Yes! Surface is hypoallergenic, dermatologist-recommended, and gentle on sensitive skin. Our lightweight formulas are easy to apply, so even kids don’t mind wearing them. Try our mineral lotion for an extra natural option.

Mineral sunscreen sits on the skin and reflects UV rays whereas chemical sunscreen absorbs into the skin and converts UV rays into heat. Surface offers both so you can choose what works best for your skin and lifestyle.

It means our formulas follow Hawaii Act 104 and are free from oxybenzone and octinoxate—ingredients harmful to coral reefs. While "reef safe" isn't FDA-regulated, we choose to lead with care.

Same protection, different scent. Dry Touch is fragrance-free. Sheer Touch has a tropical mango, coconut, guava scent. If you're sensitive to fragrance, stick with Dry Touch.

Yes. All Surface sunscreens are safe for the face and body. For facial application, we recommend lotions or sticks over sprays to avoid contact with eyes and lungs.

Yes. Surface sunscreens are FDA-regulated and have a 3-year shelf life. Expiration dates are printed on the packaging.

Yes—up to 80 minutes, which is the FDA maximum. Reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
