Raw Elements sunscreen at Rider Shack
Raw Elements is built around one active ingredient: 23% non-nano zinc oxide. That's it. No chemical UV filters, no synthetic additives. The zinc sits on top of the skin and physically reflects UVA and UVB rays — it doesn't absorb into the bloodstream. EWG's top-rated sunscreen. All ingredients are NPA Certified Natural or USDA Certified Organic. Never runs or stings eyes — important when you're getting worked in the surf.
Why non-nano zinc oxide matters
Nano-sized particles are small enough to enter the bloodstream. Non-nano particles stay on the surface of the skin. Raw Elements uses USP grade, uncoated, internationally certified non-nano zinc oxide — independently tested to confirm no nano-sized particles. The only FDA-approved broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection ingredient.
Plastic-free packaging
Most Raw Elements products come in recyclable aluminum tins — the Face + Body Tin SPF 30 is their best known format. No plastic waste in the ocean. The tin can be recycled curbside or reused. The Bio-Resin tube is made from sugarcane waste — a plastic-free alternative for the lotion format.
The full range
Face + Body Tin SPF 30 — the flagship product, full body coverage in a reusable tin. SPF 30 Face Stick — compact, boardshort-pocket format, no mess application. SPF 50 Face Stick and Face + Body Spray SPF 50 for higher protection needs. Travel Face + Body SPF 30 for smaller pack sizes.
Tinted formulas
The Tinted Bronze Face Moisturizer SPF 30, Tinted Bronze Stick SPF 30, Eco Tinted Stick SPF 30+, and Tinted Tin SPF 30 Pearly Sand add skin-tone color that reduces the white cast typical of high-zinc formulas. Available in Bronze and Pearly Sand tones. Note: tinted formulas can mark light-colored clothing and towels — apply and let set before contact.
Skincare and lip care
Raw Elements Lip Rescue SPF 30+ and Pink Lip Rescue SPF 30+ for sun-protected lip care. Herbal Rescue Lip Balm for hydration. Soothe Salve for skin repair after sun exposure. Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 and Daily Moisturizing Lotion for everyday face care with built-in protection.
