Nature-friendly sun protection for every body – gentle, effective, and reef-safe.
Why Use Sunscreen Daily?
Sunscreen is a crucial part of your daily skin protection ritual – not just for beach days. Everyone over 6 months of age, regardless of skin tone or whether you burn easily, should apply sunscreen daily. Sun damage is cumulative and silent – UVA and UVB rays can still affect your skin even on cloudy days or during winter walks.
Babies under 6 months should be kept out of direct sunlight, with shade and protective clothing offering the safest protection.
What Does SPF 30 Mean?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. An SPF 30 means it would take 30 times longer for your skin to burn than if you wore no sunscreen – assuming proper application.
The "UVA" symbol inside a circle on our label means our product meets strict EU standards, offering at least one-third UVA protection compared to its SPF – this is known as broad-spectrum protection.
Our Star Ingredient: Zinc Clear XP (Non-Nano Zinc Oxide)
Our mineral sunscreen is powered by ZinClear® XP, a non-nano zinc oxide that is reef-safe, non-carcinogenic, and Ecocert-approved. It offers:
-
Broad-spectrum UV protection (UVB, UVA-I, UVA-II)
-
High transparency on skin with minimal whiteness
-
Ideal for sensitive skin and young children
-
Daily UVA protection from ageing, darkening, and pigmentation
-
Mild, soothing formulation for face, neck, and body
-
Effective as an SPF booster in combination with other UV actives
Zinc oxide is one of the only two FDA-recognised sunscreen ingredients deemed safe and effective. It provides superior protection compared to titanium dioxide, especially against long-wave UVA rays that cause deep cellular damage.
