About This Sunscreen

Trader Joe's Invisible Gel Body Sunscreen SPF 40 is a broad-spectrum chemical sunscreen in a lightweight gel formula that absorbs fully and dries clean — no white cast, no greasy residue, no transfer. It's the body SPF you'll actually want to reapply.

The formula is oil-free and fragrance-free, making it a practical choice for oily, acne-prone, and fragrance-sensitive skin. Four active ingredients — Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 12%, Octisalate 5%, and Octocrylene 6% — deliver UVA and UVB protection across the full broad spectrum. Water and sweat resistant for 40 minutes, suitable for outdoor workouts, beach days, and active use.

Free of oxybenzone, octinoxate, and PABA. Vegan and not tested on animals. Packaged in a recyclable tube. At 5 fl oz, it's a full-size bottle that competes with products at two to three times the price.

Apply generously to all exposed skin 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours, or after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, or immediately after towel drying. For facial use, the Trader Joe's Daily Facial Sunscreen SPF 40 Invisible Gel is formulated specifically for facial skin.

Trader Joe's doesn't sell online. HIOOL GOODS sources this directly from Trader Joe's stores and ships it to your door, anywhere in the U.S. and Canada.
