How it compares
- Its label lists no scent ingredients, which is true of 16 of the 31 products in Daily Sunscreens & SPF Moisturizers with a recorded ingredient list.
- Its 19-ingredient list is one of the shortest among the 31 products in Daily Sunscreens & SPF Moisturizers with a recorded list (median 37).
What it is
Jack Black Oil-Free Sun Guard is a broad-spectrum SPF 45 sunscreen built for active days. The brand says it absorbs quickly without a greasy residue and won’t run into your eyes.
Key ingredients
- Zinc oxide 8%: A mineral filter covering UVA and UVB.
- Octinoxate 7.5% and octisalate 3%: Chemical filters for UVB protection.
- Vitamin C and calendula: Included as an antioxidant and a soothing botanical.
How to use
Apply generously and evenly 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply after heavy sweating or towel drying, and at least every 60 minutes in the sun, as the brand directs.
Who should be careful
This is a mixed mineral and chemical sunscreen, not a mineral-only one, and it contains octinoxate. Jack Black does not describe it as fragrance free. Its page lists retinyl palmitate among the inactive ingredients.
What the brand claims
Jack Black calls it oil free and says it is water and sweat resistant for intense activity in and out of the water. The page we checked doesn’t state a water-resistance time in minutes.
