Single-use pack of the SPF 50 balm, for travel days and carry-ons.
SPF 50 sunscreen + daily moisturizer
Broad spectrum SPF 50 and daily moisturizer in one balm. Ten ingredients, 1.7 oz.
Moisturizer and broad spectrum mineral SPF 50 in one balm. Ten ingredients, all on the front of the bottle.
Active: Zinc oxide 20%.
Inactive: Vitis vinifera oil, water, candelilla wax, hyaluronic acid, sunflower lecithin, niacinamide (vitamin B3), vitamin E, tea tree oil, mint oil.
Shake the bottle well before each use. Dispense a small amount into your hands and apply evenly to face and body in the morning, and again before bed if you want the moisturizer. For daytime use, apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and before other skincare. Reapply at least every 2 hours. Use with other sun protection measures such as shade and clothing.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Stop use and ask a doctor if rash or irritation develops. Keep out of reach of children.
Sunscreen and moisturizer in one balm. Ten ingredients, and nothing you need to look up. Broad spectrum SPF 50, with non-nano zinc oxide 20% as the only sunscreen active. One step in the morning instead of two.
Most SPF is built to survive a shelf. Creamed® is built to survive your actual morning. Vitis vinifera oil carries it, candelilla wax gives it cushion, and niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E do the skincare work while the non-nano zinc oxide forms the protective layer that absorbs UV.
That is the entire formula: no proprietary blends, and no synthetic fragrance added.
Apply generously 15 minutes before sun exposure. Warm a small amount between clean fingertips and press it into skin. Reapply at least every 2 hours, and after swimming, sweating or towel drying.
Sun protection measures. Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF value of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures, including limiting time in the sun and wearing protective clothing.
Creamed® is made in a small Los Angeles lab by the person who formulated it. Every ingredient had to earn its place, and the list stopped at ten.

Why ten
Ten ingredients, because the eleventh didn't earn a spot.
Every formula starts with a long list. Ours ended when nothing left could justify being on your face every day. Vitis vinifera oil to carry it, zinc oxide to absorb the UV, candelilla to hold it, three actives to make skin better, two oils to make it feel like something, and water. That's the whole story.
The full list
No proprietary blends, and no synthetic fragrance added. If it's on your face, it's on this list.
10
ingredients. None you need to look up.
Light, fast-absorbing oil that carries everything else.
A little, so it spreads instead of drags.
The only sunscreen active. Forms a protective layer that absorbs UV, and reflects and scatters some.

Helps skin hold water so it stays plump all day.
Keeps the oil and water phases blended so the balm stays smooth.
Vitamin B3. Helps skin look more even and calm.
Helps protect skin from everyday environmental stress.
Part of the fresh, clean character of the balm.
A clean, cool finish so you notice you put it on.

How to use
One step replaces your moisturizer and your sunscreen. Your morning gets shorter, not your protection.
Shake the bottle well. Zinc likes to settle. You don't.
Dispense a small amount into your hands and apply evenly to your face and body. Warm it, press it, done.
Fifteen minutes before sun. Reapply at least every two hours when you're out in it.
Directions from the label: apply 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours. Sunscreen is one part of sun protection; limit time in the sun and wear protective clothing.
Founder-made
Alex Tannenbaum didn't come from beauty. He came from reading a sunscreen label and not recognizing most of it. So he started from zero in his own lab: source the ingredient, test it, keep it only if the balm got better. Two hundred-plus rounds later, ten ingredients were left standing.
That formula is Creamed®. It still gets made the same way, in small batches, by people who put it on their own faces every morning.
If I wouldn't put it on my own face, it doesn't go on yours.

Questions
Everything people ask before they get Creamed.
A sunscreen moisturizer. Broad spectrum SPF 50 from non-nano zinc oxide, in a balm with vitis vinifera oil, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin E. Ten ingredients total. It replaces your moisturizer and your sunscreen in one step.
Because every extra ingredient is another thing your skin has to tolerate every day. We kept what made the balm better and cut everything that was only there to make it cheaper, shelf-stable for years, or smell like a candle.
Shake the bottle well. Dispense a small amount into your hands and apply evenly to face and body. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every 2 hours when you're outside. Use it in the morning, and again at night if you want the moisturizer without the sun.
For most people, yes. It's built as a daily moisturizer first, with SPF 50 inside. If you like a serum underneath, put Creamed® on last, before makeup.
Everyone with a face. We built it with the LGBTQ community and women in mind, and formulated it for daily use across skin types. It's a balm, not a chalk stick.
Yes, in the sense that matters: the only sunscreen active is non-nano zinc oxide (20%), a mineral filter. No oxybenzone, avobenzone or octinoxate. The rest of the formula is skincare, not minerals: vitis vinifera oil, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin E and candelilla wax.
A soft balm that warms as you press it in and finishes like a moisturizer, not a paste. Mint and tea tree oils give it a clean, cool feel for a minute after you put it on.
Yes. Candelilla wax instead of beeswax, sunflower lecithin instead of soy. Never tested on animals.
1.7 oz (50 mL). For daily face use that's roughly a month. The single-use day pack is for travel, gym bags and forgetting things.
