Arielle Moody & Mama Sol

While pregnant with her first child, Arielle Moody was shocked by the number of toxic ingredients in everyday products, especially sunscreen. Frustrated by natural options that felt greasy, left a white cast, or smelled unpleasant, she set out to create something better.

With years of beauty industry experience at brands like Smashbox, Dr. Perricone, and Skinn Cosmetics, Arielle co-founded Mama Sol, a 100% mineral luxury suncare brand created to make SPF safe, gentle, and enjoyable for everyone, including pregnant and nursing moms.

Mama Sol’s silicone-free, multi-tasking formulas glide on clear, nourish the skin, and come in sustainable packaging, turning sun care into a daily ritual you’ll love.
