Why does sunscreen irritate my eyes?

If you struggle with stinging, watering or irritated eyes after applying sunscreen on your face, you're not alone. Some sun creams contain ingredients that can trigger discomfort, especially for those with sensitive skin or eyes.

Eye irritation from sunscreen is often caused by some UV filters (such as Oxybenzone, Octinoxate and Avobenzone), fragrances and drying ethyl alcohol (ethanol).

Our fragrance-free sunscreens avoid these common irritants, offering a more comfortable sun care experience for those prone to sensitivity.

Why choose a Green People sunscreen for sensitive eyes?

We offer scent-free sunscreens that are suitable for:

  • Sensitive skin
  • People who may be prone to eczema, rosacea or allergies
  • Babies, children and adults alike

As part of our range of sunscreens for sensitive eyes, we have some 100% mineral facial sun creams. These use natural mineral filters like non-nano Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide to provide broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

These sit on the surface of the skin rather than absorbing into it, making them less likely to cause irritation. Plus, our formulas are free from synthetic fragrance, essential oils, parabens and harsh alcohols.

Created by the experts in sensitive skin

Green People has been a pioneer in organic skin care for sensitive skin for over 25 years. Our gentle sun creams are:

  • Dermatologically tested
  • Natural and organic
  • Reef-safe, vegan and cruelty-free
  • Enriched with calming plant actives like Aloe Vera, Green Tea and Edelweiss

These skin-friendly botanicals help to soothe and protect the skin barrier while safe, non-toxic UV filters provide effective sun protection.
