About Supergoop!
When Holly Thaggard had a close friend who was diagnosed with skin cancer in her early 30s, she learned that serious sun damage can start at a surprisingly young age. In 2007, Thaggard started Supergoop!, a sunscreen brand that’s making sun protection so much more fun. Never sticky or tacky, Supergoop! is SPF you won’t mind wearing daily — and with 1 in 5 American adults diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime, that habit has never been more important. Offering more than 40 SPF options with ingredient-conscious, feel-good formulas, Supergoop! products also comply with the EU’s notoriously strict ingredient requirements. And Thaggard is still dedicated to emphasizing the importance of daily SPF use: Supergoop!’s Ounce by Ounce program donates free 50-ounce bottles of its SPF 40 to schools across the country.
Why we love them
KCM’s Aneri loves Unseen Sunscreen, a totally invisible, oil-free formula that glides right onto the skin while providing broad-spectrum SPF 40. Aneri says this is the first time she’s found a product that blends well on her skin, unlike other sunscreens that leave a white casting. Supergoop! Sheer Screen is a fave of KCM’s Alaina, because its mineral formula goes on clear, layers nicely under makeup, and doesn’t smell or feel sticky. For a portable option that can fit in even the smallest clutch or pocket, go with the Supergoop! Cloud 9 Sun Balm. The all-mineral, SPF 40 sunblock glides on to moisturize and protect sensitive, dry skin without any harmful chemicals. (And don’t forget your sensitive lips, either — try this handy SPF lip balm.)
