Our Ingredients

At Rays Sunscreen, we know that young men are notorious for under-using sunscreen. It was important for us to create a formula that didn’t add any unnecessary or complicated steps to your daily routine. We understand the importance of incorporating sun protection into your daily routine as a young & active man and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to do the same.

That's why our sunscreen formula was specifically designed to seamlessly fit into your lifestyle; providing you with the easiest way to achieve optimal sun protection and nourishment for your skin every single day.

Our carefully crafted formula combines a powerful blend of active ingredients with carefully selected inactive ingredients to create a sunscreen that not only shields your skin from the sun's harmful rays but also enhances your daily grooming routine. And most importantly, daily use of sunscreen is shown to prevent long-term and potentially dangerous side effects of UV exposure.
