Amavara is a small-scale personal care company based in San Diego, California, specializing in mineral-based sun protection. Its sunscreen relies on non-nano zinc oxide as the sole active ingredient, aiming to provide broad-spectrum coverage without chemical additives. The formulation is designed to apply as a translucent layer with a lightweight, non-greasy feel, avoiding the chalky white appearance common to some mineral sunscreens. The product targets families seeking safe, environmentally friendly sun protection. The creation of Amavara followed a four-year development effort led by chemist Laura Singleton and entrepreneur Craig Irving, reflecting a focus on safety and environmental considerations. The company has been recognized as the number one tinted mineral sunscreen in the world.
