Soaking up the sunshine is even better when you’re prepared with cruelty-free beach bag essentials! From reef-safe sunscreen to reusable beach totes, here are the must-have beach-time essentials to keep on you as you bask in the sun rays. ☀️
8 cruelty-free beach bag essentials
1. Supergoop! Sunscreen
This sunblock is a summer dream in a bottle – it’s lightweight, totally invisible, and reef-safe! Whether you’re planning to swim, spend most of your day lounging, or play sports – Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen will keep you protected!
2. Deet-free Insect Repellant
Keep pesky little bugs away with Deet-free insect repellant like Repel’s Plant-Based Lemon Eucalyptus Bug Repellent, which lasts up to six hours. (Note: it does have a strong lemon smell, but wears off over time.) Another Deet-free option is Sawyer Products 20% Picaridin Insect Repellent, which lasts 12 hours and is fragrance-free.
3. Beach tote
Nothing says “summer” more than a beach tote! Strut to the beach in style with our Small Acts Multiplied By Millions Can Transform This World reusable tote!
4. Vegan lip balm
Chapped, sore lips? No, thanks! Keep those lips hydrated and protected from the sun with Lush’s Rose Lollipop Vegan Lip Balm. (We also love the zesty Key Lime Pie flavor!)
5. Upcycled sandals
Dress up your feet with these cute & practical sandals from Indosole — they’re not only super comfy, but they’re also made from old tires! We also love their flip flops and slip-ons.
6. Reusable water bottle
A long hot and sunny day at the beach can lead to dehydration if you’re not prepared! Get all the hydration with none of the plastic with a reusable bottle from Swell, Hydro Flask, or BKR.
7. A cute and sustainable tank
Wear your values and look super cute doing it. Our “Eat More Plants, Do More Yoga” racerback tank is a perfect swimsuit coverup.
8. A good book
Because no beach day is complete without a fun read! Check out our summer reading list.
