Facial Sunscreen Kickstarter Project
Learn more about our new sustainable facial sunscreen now launched on Kickstarter

We listened to your feedback and have decided to make our very own DIYS Soap Facial Sunscreen!
We have chosen to develop a sunscreen because it is important to protect the face from harmful UV rays and slow down the ageing process of the skin. The sunscreen will be suitable for the face and include a combination of high quality natural and organic ingredients. The ingredients will be suitable for all skin types including the whole family. You will apply it after your moisturiser every day, for sun protection.
We are working towards a sunscreen which is:
- Vegan
- Reef safe
- Protects from UVA and UVB rays
- SPF 30
- Won’t leave a white residue on the face
DIYS Soap believes packaging should always be chosen with sustainability in the forefront. Most of our products are not supplied in plastic, but in glass jars and bottles. These jars and bottles can be reused at home or they can be recycled. We would like to have a completely plastic free and reusable packaged sunscreen. If we reach our goal, we will have more options available to choose from, and maybe get something custom made just for us!
We have decided to make a sunscreen rather than a moisturiser with SPF. This is because some properties of moisturisers can inactivate ingredients in sunscreen, meaning that it can reduce the effectiveness of the SPF. We recommend applying moisturiser first and allowing it to absorb before applying sunscreen to your face. It is also great to have them separate because you can put the sunscreen in your bag and reapply during the day.
The deadline for our Kickstarter is Mon June 21st 2021 and we are hoping to raise funds which will go towards research, development, and production of the new DIYS Soap Facial Sunscreen.
