"Supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50 has no oxybenzone or octinoxate, actually the first traditional sunscreen formulated without oxybenzone. The current formula does use avobenzone and homosalate at 10%, octisalate, and octocrylene. It has really nice texture and it's water resistant. The homosalate [...] is at 10%, which is above the EU guideline of 7.34%, but it's still a solid option if oxybenzone is your primary concern."

"It's a chemical sunscreen, which is fine, but it does contain irritants in it. It's got orange peel oil, lemon peel oil, plus fragrance, so this again is a no. I have no idea why they've added these ingredients in it. If you're coming from the perspective of trying to create a sunscreen with minimal irritation, maximum hydration, this doesn't make sense to do this. I really don't know what the thinking is here."

"It's not my favorite. It's an organic sunscreen with [...] no cast, but it has citrus oils, which in my opinion are not great additions to sunscreen because they can be irritating. That's not my preference, and it's not a sunscreen I would ever choose myself."

"First up we've got Supergoop, this is the Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50. It's water resistant for 80 minutes. It's a little thicker than the other one, but it still disappears right away, just a few swipes and it goes right into your skin. It's SPF 50 and PA4+, so the UVA coverage is at its max. It does have a smell to it, it has some botanical ingredients so it has a nice sweet citrus smell. This one is good for face and body, it's five and a half fluid ounces."

"There is Super Goop Play, this is a mineral stick which is an SPF 50. These will kind of remove your makeup and mess it up, but if you're looking for sunscreen coverage and you don't really care that much how your makeup looks, you can use one of these."

"Super Goop has a larger format sunscreen called SPF Play. This is an everyday lotion as well. It is a great sunscreen to use for your body."

"When it comes to the body and going to the beach, Supergoop Play is a very easy everyday lotion that you can use on your body. It's [...] their body sunscreen. It is chemical, and it has burnt my eyes a few times, but not as consistently as some other products. I think they don't put in many vitamins, antioxidants, etc."

"Supergoop Play SPF 50 is something stronger if you live more in the southern hemisphere or closer to the equator. You probably need something SPF 50 every single day. Miraculously this one does not burn my eyes and I use it every day as a makeup base."

"Supergoop has their Play sunscreen, is the chemical sunscreen. If you have sensitive eyes and you get this in your eyes, it will burn. So that is why I love it for my kids. I don't necessarily love it for me because of my eye situation."

"I also love Supergoop Play, which is a great one for the body. But again, you need to reapply, especially if you are sweating or jumping in and out of a pool, because nothing is sweat proof or sweat resistant. It is not going to stay on your skin despite all the sweating, especially if you are working out hard and sweating a lot. But this is a great body one."

"I do recommend Super Goop Play, which you can buy in the US, but again just be careful if you have sensitive eyes."

"Supergoop Play Everyday Sunscreen [...] is very easy and lightweight. If your face can tolerate it, I would say tolerate it on your face as well. [...] It's nice, it's elegant, it melts into your skin, and then it disappears."

"Supergoop actually sells a gallon version of sunscreen. It's legit like a gallon that you pump out. Especially if you are prone to polymorphous light eruptions, aka sun allergies, you should get that. But honestly, if you love sunscreen and you love Supergoop, like everyone should get that. Amazing. Can more brands make gallon jugs of sunscreen? This is like the twenty-first century version of the milk cartons that people used to get delivered to their doors with, like, the milk boy."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
