F.A.Q.

Does Ginger Armor Rub in Clear?

Why SPF 50+?

SPF 30 is the minimum recommended SPF.

But, most people put on about 1/2 the recommended amount of sunscreen.

1/2 the recommended amount of SPF 50+ gets you about SPF 30.

I made sure Ginger armor SPF 50+ because most of us forget to put on as much sunscreen as we're supposed to.

This way if you make a mistake or forget to reapply it’s more forgiving. Ultimately, reapplying based on how much UV radiation you’re exposed to is of the utmost importance.

 

How long does Ginger Armor last?

Most sunscreens last 2 hours from when you put them on. 

Ginger Armor lasts for 2 hours of sun exposure, NOT just 2 hours from when you put it on.

Assuming you're in the sun for less than 2 hours per day and don't shower or swim it off, 1 application of Ginger Armor is often all you need for the day to be protected and moisturized.

What makes Ginger Armor better?

4 key morals 

Performance: “The best sunscreen is the 1 you actually use” but some are better for you than others. So if we can get more people to use one that’s actually better (for their health and the planet) then we have done a good thing. People want sunscreen to be: unseen, unscented, ultra lightweight, ant not to sting their eyes, because the eye area is one of the most important places to put sunscreen.

Health: all natural ingredients that do not absorb into your blood (like most sunscreens on the market today ***insert hyperlink to italics words) https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-sunscreen-safety/sunscreen-ingredients-really-do-seep-into-the-blood-is-that-bad-idUSKBN1ZK20E

in AND provide full spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Plant based ingredients that soothe, moisturize and protect your sensitive skin. 

Value: 1 bottle that will last you 8+months if you use it EVERYDAY that not only has SPF 50+, but also is your moisturizer, lip balm, eye are cream & aftershave. (4 skincare ‘products’ in 1)

Planet Conscious: Reef safe, biodegradable formula, recyclable bottle and packaging

Where should I use Ginger Armor?

  • Almost everywhere. Baseball games. Beach. Car. Errands. Forest. Hike. Lake. Mountains. Office. Running. Snow. Sporting Events. Walking. Weddings. Work. 
  • Because of Ginger Armor’s lightweight formula, it is not ideal for surfing or if you’re doing outdoor water activities

Where should I apply Ginger Armor?

  • Everywhere on your body that is exposed to the sun, except in your eyes.
  • LEENN (Lips, Eye Area*our formula doesn’t burn eyes*, Ears, Nose, & Neck) 
  • Because of Ginger Armor’s plant and mineral based ingredients, it is safe for every part of your skin. It is not for your eyes but will not sting like chemical sunscreens do

How often should I reapply Ginger Armor?

  • Every 1-2 hours in direct sunlight (check the UV index) (10am-4pm typically)
  • Every 4-6 hours in front of blue light (from phone, computer, and device screens)or indirect sunlight. (Our sunscreen wears out when exposed to direct sunlight, so the less time in the sun the longer it lasts)

 

How long does 1 bottle last?

  • 250 uses for faces that need 3 sprays (750 sprays per bottle)
  • Our recommended amount of sprays for the face area is 3 sprays, so here is an estimated breakdown of each of our products;
    • The twist-open 8ml has approximately 20 uses with 4 sprays for each use
    • The twist-open 10ml has approximately 25 uses with 4 sprays for each use
    • The Large 100ml has 250 uses with 3 sprays for each use

    When does Ginger Armor expire and why does it last so long?

    • Because Ginger Armor is a plant and mineral based formula free of silicone and chemicals, our first batch made in 2021 will last until 5/2024! Every bottle has an expiration date at the bottom

    What does SPF mean?

    • SPF means “sun protection factor” 
    • SPF 30 protects you form 97% of UV rays & SPF 50 protects you form 98% of UV rays 
    • People often apply 1/2 as much sunscreen as they need so if you apply our spf 50+ at 1/2 the recommended amount, it’s close to SPF 30.

     

    What is the UV index?

    • A ranking from 0-11 showing how intense the UV rays are at a given place and time
    • Check the UV Index tab on our menu or ask Siri/Google, “what’s the UV index”
    • Another easy way to tell how much UV exposure you are getting is to look for your shadow:
      • If your shadow is taller than you are (in the early morning and late afternoon), your UV exposure is likely to be lower.
      • If your shadow is shorter than you are (around midday), you are being exposed to higher levels of UV radiation. Seek shade and protect your skin.

    10/10 for this spf for sensitive skin!

    I am extremely particular about the ingredients in my skincare. I don’t have words to tell you how excited I was to purchase this eco-conscious brand!! I LOVE that it’s plant-based and that it packs argon oil and squalene in with spf 50 😎 Thank you creating a 2-in-1 moisturizer that doesn’t smell or leave a weird white film on my face! I’m. So. Grateful!! 👩🏻‍🦰

    wow thank you for the 10/10 rating Ashley! I'm also extremely particular about the ingredients in my skincare and really appreciate your review-the ingredients I chose to use are intentional and I'm really proud that they are good for you and eco-conscious-this was not easy to do while also keeping it not smelly, or leaving a white film on your face. I really appreciate you noticing and saying so. Thank you for your support Ashley!

    Gives my skin a dewy fresh look!

    I can't say enough great things about Ginger Armor! Love how it glides on my skin and leaves it moisturized and protected! If you're on the fence about it - don't be, get some!!!

    #NiceCopper

    I am blown away by the quality and design of this product. I have been using now for a couple of weeks as a daily moisturiser and my skin feels softer, looks clearer and I know I don’t have to worry about sun damage throughout my day. The size of packaging is super convenient - allowing you to take in cabin bags for short-haul destinations. I have a fully booked Summer of holidays and I just know Ginger Armor is going to be by my side for every single one ✌🏼

    Thank you so much for your review Bladon! It means a lot to me! I'm honored that you take ginger armor with you on your travels and really appreciate you sending these great photos and video to show everyone that you love ginger armor!

    Thank you for your review,

    Never switching sunscreens again

    Ginger Armor is my favorite skincare product. That sentence ends in a period. It means period, and implies no further explanation needed, but since you insist I’ll tell you why!

    Ginger Armor is the most thoughtfully formulated sunscreen on the market. It’s lightweight, doesn’t leave any white marks or oily residues on my face, and probably best of all has allowed me to replace certain steps in my skincare routine! I used to take a couple of drops of Argan oil and vitamin E and spread them on my face. Thanks to GA I no longer waste my time doing extra steps or buying extra product (more space in my bathroom!).

    I also appreciate that it’s housed in aluminum. More recycling centers are equipped to process aluminum than the plastic bottles most other sunscreens come in. This also allows me to keep a bottle in my car without worrying about the container melting or leaching plastic chemicals into my sunscreen (and then onto my face!). I use it before I leave the house, but keep one in my car to reapply when surfing or hiking, especially for friends who forget to apply.

    I also love that it doesn’t contain a fragrance! It has a pleasant nutty scent that dissipates once applied, so it never clashes with my cologne.

    Take it from someone who is probably too proud of the fact that most people think he’s still in his twenties because of his skin: Ginger Armor is the be-all end-all of sunscreens, and deservedly so.

    Thank you for your review Ashe! I am so grateful that you love Ginger Armor and appreciate you spreading the word about why you do!

    Yaassssss

    This product is amazing! Truly a great moisturizer and powerful sunscreen in one. And the best part!? It really does rub in clear no white marks or patches. Will definitely be making this apart of my daily routine :)

    I'm so happy you like it and are making it apart of your daily routine Scott!

    A Nice Combo Deal

    I like the fact that it's a moisturizer and SPF sunscreen all in one product. Goes on nicely and stays looking good throughout the day. No sum damage either.

    Great product!

    I have acne-prone sensitive skin so this product was quite nice on my skin. It felt very light and matched my skin tone well.

    Excellent tint variety, overall excellent product

    As someone who is sensitive to what goes on my skin, I really enjoy the ingredients and how quickly and well this product dries on my skin. It’s so nice to be able to apply this everyday without it being obvious that I’m wearing sunblock.

    I really like the tinted face

    I really like the tinted face moisturizer

    Simplify your morning routine

    I love the product! The color is perfect for my skin, provides SPF, moisturizer and tint at the same time simplifying my morning routine! Even better is that it's contained in an aluminum container that can be recycled. Just what I was searching for! Thanks for this great product! Just wish there was more than 2 oz in each tube or that the tube was smaller.

    Sun shield rint

    Trying this foundation went on nice. Stayed for hours. #2 was a perfect match.
    I will recommend

    Tint

    Thank you for the tint! They were both too light for my complexion

    Great coverage

    Love the tint, just enough and easy SPF. One application. Awesome idea and product.

    I love this sunscreen! It work well for our whole family (baby, toddler, adults). It doesnt have weird scents like other sunscreen, and it doesnt feel heavy or sticky on my skin.

    I burn easily and I am tired of worrying about what “extra” ingredients are in these mainstream sunscreens these days. Ginger armor feels great going onto my skin and lasts great. (In addition to being better for you) Highly recommend!

    The product is great, but I didn't get what was promised

    I ordered two tubes of the tinted sunscreen. I received only one. I contacted the company and the owner, and have yet to receive what I paid for.

    Surprised in the best way

    I was worried it wouldn’t blend, but it melts right in and feels great on my skin. Lightweight, natural, and no greasy finish—exactly what I was looking for in a mineral sunscreen!

    Great product

    I can't believe how lightweight it feels. Most sunscreen feels thick, cakey and clogs my pores. Not this one. And the color coverage is amazing. It actually looks like foundation unlike other tinted sunscreens. The recyclable packaging is an amazing touch as I'm trying to recycle as much waste as possible. I highly recommend this product.

    Decent tinted sunscreen, but

    It left my skin shinier than I prefer. I generally only wear makeup on special occasions, but prefer a more matte appearance which can be hard to achieve with just sunscreen/moisturizer but it's not impossible with the right products. This would require pressed powder to achieve a matte look but still leaves you feeling a bit greasy.

    Never got it

    I ordered this Oct 16th and haven’t gotten it since. No tracking or order informally was sent to me either.

    My new Go to sunscreen!

    As someone who has sensitive skin I was hesitant to use this sunscreen as I’ve broken out with others in the past but I found the opposite with this sunscreen and the added tint is the cherry on top for daily use! Love it!

    THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE LIKE THIS!

    "I totally forgot to wipe it off when I was done and my pores didn’t feel clogged at all it was a nice change of pace actually normally when I put on sunscreen it won't even come off in the shower unless I scrape it off with my fingernails. With sunshield it was super natural, gave me the protection I needed, and was way better for my skin.

    Several great things about this

    I like this doesn't feel greasy on my skin which is important especially on my face. And I appreciate that they added tint so that you don't look like a metallic piece of zinc walking around in the sun which is normally the case with good, strong, zinc based sunblock. Lastly I like the packaging because plastic tubes always seem to break open on hot days. I think the metal tube was a really smart idea.
