Bask Suncare earns strong reviews for effective UV protection that doesn’t feel greasy, with a sheer, lightweight finish, a fine non‑aerosol mist, and a nostalgic coconut‑vanilla scent; many report no burning during intense sun exposure. Reviews also flag drawbacks: the fragrance can be strong or lingering, occasional stickiness or runny texture, sporadic skin irritation, uneven spray/pressure and fast‑emptying cans, plus a lotion that may feel heavy on oily skin or show slight white cast on deeper tones.
The bane of my existence is an oily lotion or sunscreen (okay okay, maybe a little dramatic), but I really cannot stand that greasy feeling on my skin. I've been looking for a sunscreen that's both cooling and doesn't leave an oily residue, and Bask is definitely in my new top 3.
I have purchase both the spray and lotion version of their original sunscreen. It’s less oily than a lot of the options on the market, but it’s far from the best option out there. I like my Banana Boat dry touch sunscreen infinitely more than this.
It feels like the sunscreen runs out fairly fast. That being said, the actual spray was a nice consistency and coverage was good, did not burn. The packaging is a bit cheap which does not match the price.
Is this my new favorite body sunscreen?! I will totally buy this again!
PROS:
Feels amazing.It absorbs well and doesn’t feel sticky, heavy, or tacky at all. I would have thought this was a chemical formula vs a mineral formula if I didn’t know better!
Ingredient choices & the business ethics: Love that they are Reef Safe and Leaping Bunny Certified! Yay!
CONS:
I have no idea how much is left in the bottle. After a week of use, I have NO clue how much is left in the bottle! This is probably more of an issue with spray cans vs lotion bottles, but still...
The spray nozzle isn’t great. This is probably the biggest negative for me (but not a deal breaker) - because there isn’t a propellant chemical, it requires you to press the top very hard to get it to spray. I found that I could get it to spray well using my right (stronger) hand but struggled with my left (weaker) hand. Sometimes it came out as a mist, sometimes more in a stream.
Bask Suncare makes lightweight, non-oily, easy to apply sunscreen using natural ingredients that protect your skin and the environment.
In their own words
The Feel Good Sunscreen.
Bask is a celebration of feeling good: in the sun, in your skin, and with your people. Sunshine has always helped us do that. But sunscreen hasn’t. That’s why we created great-feeling SPF formulas that are lightweight, non-oily, easy to apply, and better for you and the environment.
It all began after losing a family member to skin cancer. We set out to change sun care by inspiring and motivating people to wear more sunscreen with products that are a joy to put on. Bask is sun care you want to wear.
