FACEBRELLA™ 100% Mineral Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 30
Best Mineral Sunscreen for Pregnant or Nursing Moms from Harper's Bazaar
A 3-in-1 daily 100% mineral sunscreen with SPF 30, moisturizer, and makeup primer packed in a recyclable glass bottle. A highly effective, soothing, and lightweight sunscreen that feels luxurious to apply. Safe and nourishing for sensitive skin, pregnant moms, and nursing mamas. Dermatologist-tested. Created and approved by mamas.
What it does:
Our non-nano zinc oxide formula protects your face indoors and outdoors while also protecting coral reefs and Mama Earth. It blocks UVA and UVB rays, shields you from the sun’s IR (infrared rays you can feel), and gives you blue light protection from HEV (blue light) emitted by phones and devices.
What else you need to know:
Our formula goes on white so you can see where you’ve applied it; it blends into skin seamlessly with the warmth of your fingers. Mama Sol’s proprietary FaceSOL Complex™ helps minimize and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (we’ve all got them) while brightening the look of dull looking skin.
For deep hydration and locked-in moisture, there’s hyaluronic acid, moringa oleifera seed extract, squalene, and sacha inchi seed extract, which nourish, condition, and soften the look of skin. This lightweight silky cream is silicone-free (no greasy feeling!) with a subtle and mood-boosting natural lavender scent.

Complete Your SPF Routine
FACEBRELLA is a 3-in-1 formula that acts as a moisturizer, sunscreen, and primer. It was designed to feel like skincare—not traditional sunscreen—while delivering 100% mineral protection.
Yes. FACEBRELLA is formulated with non-nano zinc oxide to provide broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection against UVA and UVB rays. It also helps defend against environmental stressors like infrared (IR)—the heat you feel from the sun—and high-energy visible (HEV) blue light from screens and devices.
The initial white tint helps you see exactly where you’ve applied it, so you don’t miss a spot. As you blend with your fingers, the formula melts into skin and becomes fully transparent.
No. Once blended, FACEBRELLA absorbs seamlessly into skin, leaving a natural, skin-like finish.
Apply a teaspoon-sized amount to the face and warm between your fingers before blending into skin. This helps the formula melt in for a smooth, even finish.
Yes. FACEBRELLA is designed as a multitasking formula that hydrates, primes, and protects—streamlining your routine into one step.
Yes. FACEBRELLA works beautifully under makeup as a smoothing, hydrating base. Allow it to fully absorb before applying foundation or other complexion products.

"When I was pregnant with my first son, I discovered many sunscreens were unsafe — with harmful chemicals passing through to breast milk. I couldn't find one I trusted. So I hired a chemist and created one on my own."
