These Are the Best Bodycare Products of 2025
April 21, 2025
In 2016, Shontay Lundy created Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30, a moisturizing sunscreen lotion formulated for women of color. Made with melanated skin in mind, BGS dries completely clear and protects melanin without the white-cast.
Shontay passionately created a sunscreen product that would completely absorb, leaving no white residue and a product that would bolster the skin’s defense through health and proper UV protection. Shontay has transplanted several times on her journey from New York to Miami to Los Angeles and back to Florida. In her travels she worked on a formula that would nourish, as well as protect and developed ties to people who could help create this company. In this post, we celebrate Shontay by highlighting her journey and accomplishments. Keep reading to learn more about the Creator and Founder of Black Girl Sunscreen™, Shontay Lundy.
“There have been so many rewarding and exciting moments, but to know that Black Girl Sunscreen is literally changing the conversation amongst sun safety signifies that the education was needed in the Black and Brown community. It is also very exciting to truly empower women that are passionate about continuing the massages. Black Girl Sunscreen is supporting future dermatologists, and employing women that embody the community and are experts in their fields.” – Shontay Lundy
“Our team listens to the consumer, we are excited about the innovations that will incorporate SPF into our everyday lives without us thinking twice about the application process.” – Shontay Lundy
“There are so many women that are killing the game, and I admire these women for having discipline and determination. At Black Girl Sunscreen, we recently highlighted a few women-owned businesses to support for Women’s History Month.”- Shontay Lundy
At Black Girl Sunscreen™, we pride ourselves on creating quality sun protection formulas products that are made for all skin tones! Our favorite part about our sunscreens is that they blend right in and don’t leave an unwanted white or purple cast that’s unappealing on the skin of color. Our products also contain moisturizing ingredients that work together to contribute to your skin’s health and protection.
