An unmarked sunscreen tube and a dusty brim hat.

BS-740

Essential

Mineral sunscreen, SPF 50

Burning Man camp gear

Mineral sunscreen. Dust on your skin isn't shade. Reapply.

Why it's on the list

Hat and shade do most of the work. Sunscreen is for the four-minute walk that takes twenty. A mineral formula you can see stays honest under dust and sweat. A thin mist disappears. Reapply. Ears, hands, and the neck under the scarf.

How we use it

Apply before you are already burned, including ears, hands, and the back of the neck under the shemagh. Put the tube in the day bag, not in the bin you will not open until evening.

Heads up

Reapply. A single coat at 9 a.m. is a story you tell through peeling skin.

Mineral sunscreen, SPF 50

A solid tube or stick is often $12–20
