What the gurus are saying

Gurus are deeply divided on this product, largely due to serious concerns about testing integrity and efficacy claims. Multiple reviewers flagged that Naked Sundays was among sunscreens implicated in an Australian regulatory scandal where products failed SPF testing, and that the brand used a lab with a history of questionable practices. On performance, those who reviewed it found it thick and casty with a noticeable feel on skin when sweating, though some appreciated the fair tint and fragrance-free formula. The core issue overshadowing any cosmetic feedback is whether the product actually delivers the claimed protection.

"Mineral sunscreens are really tied to two different ingredients. And a lot of mineral sunscreens, if they look great and elegant, a lot of times they're not going to be the best. Naked Sundays felt very elegant. I'm like, that's too elegant feeling. Just something doesn't seem right."

Favorite Mineral Only Sunscreens ☀️ Best SPF's for All Skin Types 😎 Fragrance Free
"Naked Sundays is 22.5% zinc oxide, their mineral version. It's thick, and you need to make sure to apply it liberally to get anywhere near the protection that they promise. It does have a feeling like you feel it a little bit throughout the day if you're out sweating a lot, so this probably would not be my recommendation if that's your situation. But it has a nice finish and on a lot of days if I'm lazy I just set it with powder and I'm good to go. The tint is pretty fair and there's no fragrance in it, it's quite nice."
Deep Thoughts on How to Lose & My Weight Loss Journey, Sun Protection, & Jelly Roll
"If you're going to do one product, I'm just kind of surprised that they don't actually make it. That's your one thing. You don't make serums. You don't make cleansers. You don't make anything else. You make sunscreen. And you don't even make it yourself. It's kind of disappointing all the way around. And then to hear that Naked Sundays might be using the same base formula. So that's a red flag right there. I just wonder how many other people are walking around without real sunscreen on without really knowing that they might not have SPF 50 on. Their formula is the same formula being sold in the US as it is everywhere and Australia is supposed to have some of the strictest sunscreen standards. So it's kind of concerning because a lot of people probably around the world are wearing it without knowing it."

"Naked Sundays is among the sunscreens implicated in the SPF testing scandal where the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia found that 16 of 20 popular sunscreens failed to meet the SPF claims on their labels. Naked Sundays used Princeton Consumer Research to test their SPF, and PCR is run by people with a history of ethical concerns around fraudulent testing practices."

"This one also did terrible and is using some of the similar base formulas. It may be a zinc supplier is what this comes down to. The brands may not have known, but anyway, Naked Sundays kind of skated under it for a while. Now they're finally being called out and these formulas are available in the US and Australia."

"I bought this a while ago, the Naked Sundays mineral sunscreen was pretty casty but and a little on the dry side if I remember correctly."
