No sticky mess, no white cast, just everyday uvb and uva protection that actually fits into your routine.
In this review, I’ll unpack everything you need to know about these products: how they feel on the skin, how they perform in real-world conditions, what’s inside them (including potential irritants and skin-friendly ingredients), and whether they really live up to the hype. From the hydrating texture to the scent, finish, and wear under makeup, this Everyday Humans sunscreen review is your one-stop guide to figuring out if these products deserve a spot in your daily lineup (FYI, sunscreen is always the last step of your skincare routine).
Let’s dive in.
About the Brand: Everyday Humans
Everyday Humans was born out of one simple idea: sunscreen shouldn’t feel gross. Charlotte Pienaar started the brand back in 2018 after getting fed up with heavy, greasy formulas that made putting on SPF feel like a punishment. She wanted something that felt like skincare: light, easy, and comfortable enough to actually want to wear every day.
Since then, Everyday Humans has been all about making sunscreens that people actually use. They blend in skin-friendly stuff like hyaluronic acid and plant oils, so your skin gets a little extra love while staying protected. And they’re not just about your skin either. They’ve put a lot of thought into making their packaging recyclable and their production more climate-friendly.
Basically, Everyday Humans is on a mission to make SPF feel like the easiest, most normal part of your day. Nothing fancy. Just good, reliable sun protection that works with your life, not against it.
Everyday Humans Sheer Guard SPF50 Natural Mineral Sunscreen ($24.00)
Everyday Humans Sheer Guard SPF 50 is one of the better mineral sunscreens I’ve come across. Lightweight, smooth, and surprisingly easy to blend. Unlike most zinc-based SPFs that leave you looking like a ghost, this one rubs in with minimal effort and leaves a soft, natural finish that doesn’t mess with your makeup. There’s a tiny bit of a white cast if you’re super fair, but nothing too noticeable. It’s got zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection, plus skin-friendly extras like jojoba oil and sodium hyaluronate to keep things hydrated. It dries down nicely (no greasy mess or thick film) and it holds up well through the day, even in warm weather. If you’re looking for a mineral sunscreen that actually feels wearable and gives you reliable sun protection, Sheer Guard SPF 50 is definitely worth a spot in your routine.
Active Ingredients: 25% zinc oxide and Hyaluronic Acid.
Benefits: Provides broad spectrum sun protection from UVA and UVB rays.
Cons: Leaves a sheer white cash on fair skin.
Skin type: Normal, sensitive, and dry skin.
Fragrance-free: Yes.

Everyday Humans Oh My Bod! SPF 50 Light Sunscreen Lotion ($19.00)
Everyday Humans Oh My Bod! SPF 50 is one of those sunscreens that actually makes you want to use it every day. It feels more like a lightweight face lotion than a heavy body sunscreen. First off, there’s zero white cast. It’s got chemical filters, which means it does the job when it comes to broad-spectrum protection without that thick, chalky feel. It spreads easily, soaks in fast, and leaves your skin feeling fresh and smooth, not sticky or greasy. Plus, no white cast, so you can throw it on and go without looking like a ghost. I’m always a bit. I love that they’ve also added a bit of skincare, like hyaluronic acid to keep things hydrated, along with jojoba and safflower oils for extra softness, plus green tea, aloe, and cucumber to calm the skin. If you’re tired of body sunscreens that feel like a chore to apply, this one’s worth checking out
Active Ingredients: Homosalate, Octocrylene, Octyl Salicylate, Avobenzone, and Hyaluronic Acid.
Benefits: Provides broad spectrum sun protection from sun damage without the white cast.
Cons: If you don’t like chemical sunscreens, this isn’t for you.
Skin type: Normal, combination, and oily skin.
Fragrance-free: No.
Everyday Humans Sun Glazed SPF30 Sunscreen Glow Oil ($22.00)
Everyday Humans Sun Glazed SPF30 Sunscreen Glow Oil sounds like a dream come true. SPF protection and a subtle glow in one bottle. But here’s the thing: when you look at the ingredients list, there’s no mention of the actual UV filters that make it an SPF. Seriously, no sign of homosalate, octinoxate, avobenzone, or any mineral filters either. Makes you wonder how it’s hitting that SPF30 mark, right? What’s in the bottle? Lots of skin-loving oils like coconut, sweet almond, and jojoba. Great for that soft, silky feel. But also a heavy dose of citrus oils like bergamot and orange, which can be irritating (and even photosensitizing) for sensitive skin. That means this oil might give you that pretty glow, but it could also cause redness or a rash if you’ve got delicate skin or rosacea. Bottom line? Feels nice, looks pretty, but I’d double-check how you’re getting that sun protection before relying on it as your main SPF.
Active Ingredients: Squalane and jojoba oil.
Benefits: Moisturising, gives skin a lovely glow.
Cons: There’s nothing listens in the ingredient list that protects from the sun’s UV rays, so I’m not sure how it protects from UV radiation.
Skin type: Normal.
Fragrance-free: No.
Everyday Humans Good Times SPF50 Sunscreen Spray ($20.00)
Everyday Humans Good Times SPF50 Sunscreen Spray is one of those “just spritz and go” kind of sunscreens. Super handy for days when you’re on the move. It’s got chemical filters (homosalate, octocrylene, octisalate, and avobenzone) for broad-spectrum protection, and it feels light and fresh on the skin. No greasy mess. But here’s the thing: with sprays, it’s way too easy to miss a spot or not apply enough, so you’re probably not getting that full SPF50 protection you’re hoping for. It’s got some skin-loving extras like papaya seed oil and vitamin E, plus a fragrance that might be a dealbreaker if you’re sensitive. Nice for a quick top-up, but probably not your best bet if you’re going to be out in the sun all day.
Active Ingredients: homosalate, octocrylene, octisalate, and avobenzone
Benefits: Easy and convenient to use.
Cons: It’s easy to miss a spot, so it doesn’t provide the most reliable protection from UVB and UVA rays.
Skin type: All skin types bar sensitive.
Fragrance-free: Yes.
Everyday Humans Resting Beach Face SPF30 Sunscreen Serum ($12.50)
Everyday Humans Resting Beach Face SPF is the kind of sunscreen that actually feels like part of your skincare routine instead of a separate, sticky chore. It’s super lightweight and smooths on like a dream. Nno heavy, greasy feel that usually makes me dread putting on SPF. It’s thin but still feels nicely hydrating, thanks to a mix of glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and sunflower seed oil. It’s got chemical filters that handle the broad-spectrum protection, and a good dose of antioxidants from spinach and green tea extracts. The best part? No white cast. Just a subtle glow that lasts from early morning to late afternoon without turning into an oily mess (although, you still need to reapply sunscreen during the day). If you’re tired of sunscreens that weigh you down or make your face shiny, this one’s definitely worth a look.
Active Ingredients: homosalate, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, octyl salicylate, octocrylene, and Hyaluronic Acid.
Benefits: Provides good sun protection and a lovely glow that lasts all day.
Cons: If you don’t like chemical sunscreens, this isn’t for you.
Skin type: All skin types bar sensitive.
Fragrance-free: No.

Available at Revolve, Stylevana, Target, and Walgreens
The Bottom Line
Everyday Humans has definitely nailed the “everyday” part of their brand. Their sunscreen products are easy to use, generally lightweight, and blend nicely into a daily routine. No chalky cast or heavy feeling. That said, some formulas rely heavily on chemical filters (so maybe not the best fit if you prefer mineral sunscreens or have very sensitive skin). What stands out across the range is how wearable everything is.
The Sheer Guard SPF50 gives you mineral protection without that dreaded ghost look, while Resting Beach Face SPF30 feels more like a moisturizer than a sunscreen, making it perfect for layering under makeup. Oh My Bod! SPF50 is refreshingly lightweight for a body sunscreen, and Good Times SPF50 Spray is great for quick top-ups, though it’s worth remembering that sprays can be easy to under-apply. Sun Glazed SPF30 Glow Oil, on the other hand, is a bit of a question mark: it gives you that dewy finish but doesn’t list any UV filters on the label. Something to consider before relying on it for serious sun protection.
Overall, Everyday Humans offers fast-absorbing formulas and sun protection that feels modern, easy, and wearable, but make sure to double-check each formula to find the one that matches your needs and skin type.
