Not all skincare is created equal.
Many conventional sunscreens rely on chemical filters that work by absorbing UV rays into the skin and converting them into heat.
We take a different approach.
OK Sunshine uses non-nano zinc oxide—a mineral that sits on the surface of the skin, creating a natural barrier while being paired with nourishing, top-shelf ingredients.
We believe in something better. Simple, effective summer skincare made with ingredients you can trust.

Built for our family. Shared with yours
It started on a surf trip in San Diego. Standing on the beach, I picked up a bottle of sunscreen and started reading the label. Ingredient after ingredient—most of them unrecognizable. That led me down a rabbit hole of research… and what I found didn't sit right.
At the same time, we were watching the world around us change. Rising skin concerns. More questions than answers.
As a dad of five daughters—from babies to teenagers—I couldn't shake a simple question: What are we actually putting on our skin?
We wanted something better.
Not complicated. Not chemical-heavy. Not something we had to second guess every time we used it. Just something clean. Effective. And made with ingredients we could trust.
So we made it ourselves.
My wife had already been crafting natural skincare at home for years—moisturizers, balms, and oils made from simple, nourishing ingredients. She sourced raw cocoa from Cuba. Experimented with oils from different parts of the world. Created products we felt good using on our girls—because we didn't want to put commercial formulas on their skin.
So we started experimenting together. And we didn't stop until it was right.
We spent a year testing, adjusting, and refining.
Different ingredients. Different ratios. Different methods.
We tested it everywhere: In the intense Okanagan summer heat. In our backyard pool. On our most fair-skinned daughter during a trip to Africa. Through the blazing sun of Turkey, Mexico, India, Saint Martin, Florida and beyond.
We needed something that would: Apply smoothly. Hold up in the heat. Work across skin tones. And stand up to real life outside.
That's how OK Sunshine was born.
OK—as in the Okanagan, the Canadian beach resort capital where we live and where every product is crafted.
Sunshine—because that's the life we love. Long days at the lake. Hot summers. Kids outside until the sun goes down.
It's for people who believe life is better in the sun—and want skincare that can keep up with it.
Every product we make is crafted in small batches, using carefully selected, top-shelf ingredients—designed for real life in the sun.
Because at the end of the day: Your skin deserves better!
