As a PhD chemical engineer, and lifelong surfer, Guerry Grune knows firsthand what's at stake in the sun. After watching a close friend receive a melanoma diagnosis, he set out to engineer a sunscreen he could trust — one made entirely from food-grade ingredients, free from synthetic chemicals, and safe for the reefs he surfs. That mission became 3rd Rock Essentials.

3rd Rock Sunblock® Sunscreen Lotion - Unscented is a natural, organic, and toxin-free sunscreen formulated with zinc oxide at 23.5% concentration, providing broad-spectrum SPF 35 protection. This sunscreen uses food-grade ingredients to ensure safety and efficacy, with a patented zinc oxide formula independently tested for superior UVA and UVB protection compared to standard sunscreens. Designed for users seeking a natural sunscreen, it is available in unscented, aromatherapeutic, and infant formulations to meet different needs.
Ingredients include zinc oxide, vegetable glycerin, distilled water, jojoba oil, olive fruit oil, aloe vera leaf gel, beeswax with propolis, orange peel wax, coconut oil extract, tocopherol (Vitamin E), ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), and natural starches such as corn and arrowroot. The sunscreen formulation maintains an alkaline pH level for long-term stability, exceeding three years, and reducing potential skin damage from acidity. The product features a water- and sweat-resistant formula suitable for outdoor activities including beach days, hiking, and sports.
The sunscreen formulation is hypoallergenic, gentle on sensitive skin, and free from synthetic chemicals, making it suitable for allergy-prone or sensitive skin types. It is cruelty-free, approved by PETA and Leaping Bunny, with no testing on animals. This natural sunscreen is designed to be applied evenly and smoothly when warmed by rubbing between the palms, ensuring an invisible finish. It requires reapplication after swimming, sweating, or prolonged sun exposure.
Each order ships with one 3.3 wt. oz. tottle of 3rd Rock Sunblock® Sunscreen Lotion - Unscented.
3rd Rock Sunblock® Sunscreen Lotion's stable formula does not require special care or storage conditions, maintaining efficacy over time.
