If you spend a lot of time outside — in the water, on a trail, chasing sun — you know sunscreen can make or break your day.
Most of what’s out there either burns, stings, or leaves you looking like a ghost. I wanted something different — something I’d actually want to wear.
That’s how Field + Forge started — with a zinc-based sunscreen that’s gentle, hydrating, and built for real life outdoors.
Why Zinc, Always
Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat. I’ve never loved that idea — especially after long days in salt water or high-altitude sun.
So we went the mineral route: non-nano zinc oxide that reflects and scatters UV rays before they reach your skin.
It’s reef-friendly, gentle, and perfect for sensitive skin — but here’s what makes ours different:
You can rub it in for a hydrated, natural finish that blends right in, or layer it on if you want a little more protection for long sessions outside.
No chalky film, no dryness, no weird residue — just soft, protected skin that still feels like you.
Made to Move With You
We made two small-batch tins because good skincare should fit into your life, not the other way around.
The rectangle tin slides perfectly into a wetsuit sleeve or trail pack.
The round tin? Toss it in your snowboard jacket, pocket, or glove box and go.
I wanted packaging that made it easy to stay protected — whether I’m surfing, hiking, or just running errands after a session.
For People Who Love the Elements
Field + Forge was born in Oregon — shaped by ocean salt, mountain wind, and all the in-between.
It’s for anyone who spends their time outside and wants clean, reliable skincare that holds up.
I like to think of this sunscreen as a small piece of freedom — a way to stay out there longer, without paying for it later.
Built Simply. Built Well.
Our mineral sunscreen isn’t about perfection; it’s about practicality.
Hydrating oils to keep your skin balanced, zinc to protect it, and packaging that just makes sense.
That’s it. No unnecessary fragrance, no extra fluff — just something that works.
Because the more protected your skin is, the longer you get to stay where you love to be — in the sun, in the water, in nature.
