Shop Local - LĀ SOL

By: Dawna Clark

LĀ SOL is a Newport Beach-based sunscreen company started by two lifelong friends, Staci Barrett and Angela Dunning. After attending middle and high school in Seal Beach and then UCSB together, both have pursued careers in beauty/skin products, marketing, and communications. With their newest endeavor, they look forward to LĀ SOL Suncare providing a healthier alternative that delivers efficacy and well-being for future generations to come. 

Why LĀ SOL? The main drawback of zinc sunscreens has always been in the application and texture of the product – typical mineral-zinc sunscreens leave a heavy white cast on your skin. LĀ SOL CLEAR sunscreen works for all skin tones, gives your body the protection it needs, plus goes on like a smooth cream, leaving your skin feeling natural, and not greasy while also waterproof so no tears in the ocean or while doing sports. And it's kid-tested and approved!

 LĀ SOL Collective is committed to clean, good-for-you ingredients – that are equally good for the environment… it's a win-win.  The product is Reef-Friendly, Gluten-free, Paraben-free, Fragrance-free, Cruelty-free, Vegan, and Made in the USA.  It is certified UVA/UVB protection, SPF 30, Water Resistant 80 minutes, and abides by the Hawaii Care Act for reef safety.

All this at an approachable price point for a dermatologist quality product - the 3.3 oz bottle is only $24.99. There is also a lip balm available. Buy now at www.lasolcollective.com and follow along on their IG @lasolcollective.
