By Viktoria @vioda.makeup · Published · Updated
Black Girl Sunscreen is a mid range makeup brand from the United States, founded in 2016 by Shontay Lundy. It's best known for its Broad-spectrum SPF 30 with no white cast, Formulated for melanated skin and First Black-owned sunscreen in major US retail.
Black Girl Sunscreen was founded in 2016 by Shontay Lundy in Miami, who used roughly $33,000 of personal savings to develop a broad-spectrum SPF 30 lotion formulated specifically for melanated skin — designed to absorb without leaving the chalky white cast that plagues many traditional sunscreens. It became the first Black-owned sunscreen brand stocked in major US retailers including Target, Walmart, and Ulta.
In dupe and beauty culture, Black Girl Sunscreen sits at the intersection of skincare and complexion makeup: its sheer, no-white-cast finish makes it a frequent recommendation alongside tinted SPF and skin tints like Ami Colé. While it is a sun-care brand rather than a color line, its glow-friendly, melanin-first formulas show up in 'skin tint and SPF' comparisons that matter to the dupe audience looking for inclusive, lightweight base products.
