My Block Skin Launches Invisible Sunscreen for Dark Skin Tones

New York City, Nov. 05, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- In a 2026 survey of adults across Africa, published in the journal Skin Health and Disease, a whitish cast was among the side effects sunscreen users reported most often, even though about three in four participants agreed that sunscreen is necessary for darker skin. Traditional formulas, and mineral sunscreens in particular, can leave a grey or ashy film that is far more visible on dark skin than on fair skin. My Block Skin's Clear Coat range is formulated to leave no white cast on all skin tones. Its Face and Body SPF 50 products use clear gel formulas.

This guide shares what to look for, and which product suits which need. Key Facts include that the My Block Skin Clear Coat is a range of SPF products formulated to leave no white cast on any skin tone. The range and pricing (as of November 3, 2026) includes Clear Coat Face SPF 50 at $19.00, Clear Coat Body SPF 50 at $23.00, Clear Coat Crème SPF 30 at $23.00, and Clear Coat Lip Balm SPF 15 at $5.00. The signature approach of the Clear Coat Face SPF 50 is a lightweight, clear gel powered by Clear Coat Technology™ that dries invisible, with no white cast or greasy finish. The website lists all four products as PETA Approved Vegan, cruelty-free, and reef-friendly (no oxybenzone or octinoxate). Face, Body, and Crème are dermatologist-tested, and Face and Body are fragrance-free, and Face is non-comedogenic.

The research consistently shows that sunscreen that leaves a white cast, provides a real barrier to use. A review in the British Journal of Dermatology notes that people with skin of colour may be less likely to use sunscreen, and that sunscreens formulated for them need to leave no white residue and not disrupt skin tone to be cosmetically acceptable.
