Pasty Man earns strong reviews for delivering effective mineral SPF 30 protection that resists sweat and prevents sunburns, while applying smoothly with minimal to no white cast—even on beards and darker skin tones. Reviewers praise its fragrance-free, non-greasy feel and standout branding, though a few note an initial white cast that fades and mention it’s primarily used on body rather than face.

★★★★★ Pasty Man sunscreen is genuinely exceptional. The formula feels lightweight, smooth, and comfortable on the skin never heavy, greasy. The packaging is equally impressive, distinctive, beautifully designed, and practical to use. In a category where so many products look and feel the same, Pasty Man truly stands out. It feels thoughtful, modern, and premium from beginning to end. Easily one of the best sunscreens I’ve tried.

WOW! As a bald guy who plays golf every Saturday in the Florida sun, I’ve learned the hard way that my head and the sun are not exactly best friends. Burn on Saturday, peel on Thursday… yeah, that’s not a winning game plan! That’s why I gave Pasty Man a shot, and I’m glad I did. This stuff goes on clean, feels smooth, and doesn’t leave you looking like you dipped your head in a bottle of sunscreen. Most importantly, it gave me the protection I needed, no sunburn, no peeling, and I feel better knowing I’m using a product made without the harsh chemicals I’m trying to avoid. Whether you’re bald, outdoors all day, hitting the golf course, fishing, working outside, or just enjoying the Florida sunshine, this product delivers. And let’s talk about the packaging and logo… seriously cool! Whoever designed it nailed the vibe. LOL. Highly recommend Pasty Man, my head finally found its teammate on the golf course! ⛳☀️

First things first - I don't consider myself to be a pasty man. I'm a melanated man, and I like the sun, but also don't want to die, so the brand's tagline is appealing. Speaking of the brand, I really appreciated the nicely branded mailer and tissue that the tube came wrapped in; and the sticker was a nice touch. As advertised, the product doesn't feel greasy or leave a chalky cast or residue. Another plus is that it doesn't smell like some noxious coconut nightmare - it actually doesn't smell like anything at all. I applied some before going on a 25-mile bike ride; I worked up quite a sweat and could still feel that the product hadn't all been sweated away. I am impressed!

I am one of the founders of Pasty Man so clearly extremely biased :) With that being said I wanted to upload some videos featuring some applications to show just how well our mineral formula comes on. A lot of folks out there are worried about white cast when it comes to zinc based sunscreens. For guys, we also want to know that it does not leave white residue in beards etc. So here's some videos that show Pasty Man Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 being applied on some hairy body parts.

Just got mine the in the mail and have been using it the past few days as a daily sunscreen (it’s July), It goes on easy and rubs in nicely. I’ve only used it on my body, not my face, but I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I’m a runner and it hasn’t rubbed off or transferred to my clothes like other sunscreens have, so that’s a big win for me. As others have mentioned, there’s no odor either, so that’s a plus in my book too. If you’re looking for a great daily mineral sunscreen, I’d recommend it.

I’ll be completely honest: I’m no sunscreen expert. That whole sunscreen aisle completely confuses me. This, however, felt refreshingly straightforward because, like the brand says, I don’t want to die from the sun. Plus, it looks insanely tight. Big fan of the branding. Excited to see where Pasty Man goes.

I typically use mineral sunscreen and i really liked this one. Comes on with a bit of white cast but this goes away quickly. Like that it does not have a specific fragance. Recommend this product and love the angle of being geard towards men.

Fantastic mineral sunscreen! SPF 30 with excellent protection, a lightweight feel, and surprisingly minimal white cast. It blends in much better than most mineral sunscreens I’ve tried and is comfortable enough for everyday use. Definitely one I’ll keep buying.

I’m now a man who uses sunscreen, and it does what it's supposed to = no sunburns. A big bonus, compared to other sunscreens I've tried, is that Pasty Man has no chemicals, no smell, and barely any stickiness.

I absolutely love the branding of this product! The bottle has a fun, cool design that really stands out. The sunscreen itself is fantastic, it absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a sticky or greasy feeling, and is completely fragrance-free while still being really pleasant to use. I also used it on our kids, and it felt gentle, clean, and safe on their skin. Most importantly, it provided great protection during several hours in the sun. Overall, I'm really impressed and would definitely recommend it!

Love this product. Smooth application, no strong smell. Fun packaging and arrived quickly. Safe skin messaging is really important too.

Picked up a bottle recently and it's been great in the California sun. There's no white cast left behind and also no scent which is great so it doesn't conflict with other colognes/body sprays. One thing to note as well that my friends and I liked is that it doesn't leave a shimmer on your skin that happens so often with some other brands when you layer on moisturizer as well, it just looks like hydrated skin.

I bought pasty man for my dad who always forgets to wear it. He LOVES this stuff. Won’t stop talking about it (and thankfully he finally doesn’t get sunburns!)

I'm an extremely pale person who is super paranoid about skin cancer. I regularly go to the dermatologist and have gotten moles removed previously that were looking a little sus. I'm so grateful to Pasty Man for making a product that makes me feel good and cool putting on my sunscreen!
