Travel Tube vs. Everyday Tin

Why We Made It

We wanted a sunscreen that protects like SPF and feels like skincare. Too many mineral sunscreens feel dry, heavy, or leave a strong chalky cast. This formula is portable, moisturizing, reef-safe, and easy to wear every day. Using our "if you wouldn't eat it, don't wear it" philosophy, we paired non-nano zinc oxide with grass-fed beef tallow and other simple, skin-loving ingredients to create a travel tube sunscreen that feels comfortable on sensitive skin and blends in more naturally than most mineral formulas.

Pairs Perfectly With

• After Sun Balm — Aloe + cucumber recovery after a day in the sun.
• Original Tallow Moisturizer — Layer under sunscreen in the morning for all-day hydration + protection.
• Everyday Tin SPF 30 — The untinted sibling for home use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this travel tube have a tint when the tin doesn't?

The Travel Tube has a light cocoa tint added specifically to reduce the white cast that's common with mineral sunscreens on medium to darker skin tones. The tint is subtle — it blends in within about a minute on most skin and looks more natural than uncolored mineral SPF. The Tin formula is untinted for people who prefer zero color transfer.

Is this sunscreen reef safe?

Yes. This sunscreen uses non-nano zinc oxide as its only active ingredient and contains no oxybenzone, octinoxate, or any chemical UV filter. It meets Hawaii's reef-safe sunscreen requirements.

What does non-nano zinc oxide mean?

Non-nano means the zinc oxide particles are larger than 100 nanometers, so they sit on the surface of your skin rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream. This provides a physical UV barrier without systemic absorption.

How long does the water resistance last?

80 minutes. Reapply after swimming, heavy sweating, or toweling off.

Can I use this on my face?

Yes. It's formulated for both face and body use, and the travel tube format makes clean face reapplication simple. A pea-sized amount covers the whole face.

Is the travel tube TSA-carry-on approved?

Yes. The tube is under 3.4 fl oz (100ml), which fits TSA liquids rules for carry-on bags.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Non-nano zinc oxide is considered one of the gentlest UV filters available and is the only sunscreen active the FDA classifies as Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective (GRASE). No chemical UV filters or synthetic fragrance.

Is it safe for kids and babies?

Zinc oxide is one of the few sun-protection actives considered safe for use on infants by most pediatric dermatologists. This formula is edible-grade and has been used by Eat My Face customers on children. Patch test first for any new skincare on a child.

What's the SPF?

SPF 30. SPF 30 blocks approximately 97% of UVB rays — the dermatology-consensus sweet spot between protection level and everyday wearability.

How is this different from the Travel Tin?

Same active ingredient (non-nano zinc oxide), same SPF 30, same reef-safe formula. The Travel Tube adds a light cocoa tint to reduce white cast and uses a squeeze format for easy reapplication on-the-go, while the Tin is untinted and ships in a slim gold tin better suited for home or bag use.

This travel-ready sunscreen tube makes reapplication clean, quick, and easy.

1. Squeeze & warm. Squeeze a generous amount onto your fingertips. Rub between your palms for a few seconds to warm and spread evenly.

2. Apply generously. Smooth evenly over all exposed skin — face, neck, ears, and body. For full SPF 30 coverage, use about two finger-lengths for your face and a golf ball-sized amount for your body.

3. Let it set. Give the sunscreen a minute or two to absorb and form its protective layer before heading outside.

4. Reapply often. Reapply every two hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or toweling off. Water resistant for 80 minutes, but no sunscreen lasts forever.

5. Don't skip overcast days. Up to 80% of UV rays pass through clouds. If you're outside, you need SPF — rain or shine.

Tips:

• A little goes a long way. Start with less and build up coverage as needed.
• The tube format makes reapplication easy — toss it in your beach bag, backpack, or car door.
• Works beautifully as a moisturizing base under makeup.
