Our take
Why We Trust This Brand
Solara scores high on both axes: the Clean Freak flagship is 18% non-nano, non-coated zinc, fragrance-free, and chemical-filter-free, and the brand is one of the most independent we reviewed, 100% privately female-owned and WBENC-certified with no outside capital found. Founder Stephanie DiPisa built it around sensitive-skin and autoimmune needs, which shows in the gentle botanical formula. It's premium-priced, and not every Solara SKU is fragrance-free, so check the specific product. Overall a credible, mission-driven independent.
What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Clean Freak's sole active is 18% non-nano, non-coated zinc oxide, mineral-only, no chemical filters, and fragrance-free. The base leans into skincare: squalane, ashwagandha and Kakadu plum extracts, coconut oil, bentonite and vitamin E. Note other Solara products in the line may carry a light natural scent, so verify per SKU.

Who owns it
Ownership & Independence
Solara Suncare is described as 100% privately, female-owned and is a certified Woman-Owned Business (WBENC). It was founded by Stephanie DiPisa and launched in 2019 after the idea was sparked by a 2016 family sunscreen reaction; we found no venture rounds or acquisition. This makes it one of the most straightforwardly independent brands in the set.
