If you’re in the skincare business in Nigeria, you know how important it is to stock products that actually solve local skin concerns. One of the most common skin types in Nigeria is oily skin, and with our hot, humid climate, the right sunscreen can make or break someone’s skincare routine.
The good news? Lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreens that work well for oily skin are in high demand—and stocking them wholesale is a smart business move. In this guide, we’ll walk you through why these sunscreens sell so well, the top-performing products available through Beauty by Daz Wholesale, and how you can start offering your customers high-quality sun protection they’ll rave about.
Why Sunscreen for Oily Skin Is in High Demand in Nigeria
Ask most Nigerians why they skip sunscreen and you’ll hear it: “It feels greasy,” “It makes me sweat,” or “It causes breakouts.” And they’re not wrong—many traditional sunscreens are thick, occlusive, and uncomfortable in hot climates. But this has changed.
Today’s best sunscreens for oily skin are lightweight, water-based, and absorb quickly without leaving a white cast. These newer formulas not only protect the skin from UV damage, but also help regulate sebum production and prevent acne.
This shift in formulation has created a new wave of interest from consumers who are finally ready to embrace SPF—if it feels right on their skin. That’s your opportunity.
What Makes a Great Sunscreen for Oily Skin?
When curating your wholesale inventory, here’s what to look for in sunscreens tailored to oily skin:
- Oil-Free Formulas: These help prevent clogged pores and breakouts.
- Matte Finish: Products that leave the skin shine-free are a hit.
- Water-Based or Gel Textures: These are lightweight and feel breathable.
- Non-Comedogenic Ingredients: Essential for acne-prone skin.
- SPF 50 or Higher: Offers strong protection against Nigeria’s intense sun.
- No White Cast: Especially important for darker skin tones.
Consumers are more educated than ever before, and they’re checking labels. Offering products that meet these criteria shows that your brand understands their needs.

Tips for Selling Sunscreen to Nigerian Customers
Educate First
Customers need to understand why sunscreen matters—even for oily skin. Use your social media and point-of-sale platforms to share skincare tips, especially for darker skin tones which can still suffer UV damage.
Offer Sample Sizes
If possible, let your customers try before they buy. This builds trust and helps reduce hesitation with new brands.
Bundle Offers
Create oily skin kits that include sunscreen, cleanser, and a light moisturizer. This helps boost cart value and makes shopping easier.
