EWG is an independent non-profit consumer resource group that provides consumers with ratings on protection levels and ingredient safety. Consumers are faced with thousands of sun care options on the market and having a third-party verify the overall safety of the products for your body and the environment is extremely important.

The annual EWG sunscreen guide tests over 1,000 products and rates them on a scale of 1-10, 1-2 being “Low Hazard”, 3-6 being “Moderate Hazard” and “7-10” being “High Hazard.” All nine of Beyond Coastal’s sunscreen and lip balm products received top rankings, indicating a low hazard and thus being recognized among the safest brands the market.

All sunscreen formulas, regardless of brand, are comprised of about 80% inactive ingredients. Beyond Coastal’s water-resistant and broad spectrum UVA/UVB protecting formulas are distinguished by the premium anti-oxidant rich, inactive ingredients used such as grape seed extract, jojoba oil, and coconut oil, which work to nourish, repair and hydrate the skin.
