Apply liberally onto clean, dry skin at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Apply around the eyes but avoid contact with eyes and reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. If swimming reapply every 45 minutes.
Our mineral sunscreen has been tested to have a SPF 56 (with a 98% reduction in UV) at 2mg per cm2.

*A human face is approx. 500 - 600cm2 on average, which would equate to 1 gram of sunscreen for the entire face. In addition, we recommend 1 gram for the neck and 1 gram for the chest. Since the application of sunscreen by hand can be uneven, we do recommend applying more than this amount to be certain you have adequate protection.

What is a mineral SPF 50 sunscreen?

A mineral SPF 50 sunscreen uses physical UV filters like zinc oxide to reflect and block UVA and UVB rays. It provides broad-spectrum protection without chemical absorbers.

Is this a 100% mineral sunscreen?

Yes. This formula uses 25% non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum SPF 50+ protection.

Does this mineral sunscreen leave a white cast?

No. It is lightly tinted and formulated to blend seamlessly into the skin without leaving a chalky white residue.

Is this suitable under makeup?

Yes. The lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs beautifully and creates a smooth base for foundation or mineral makeup.

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. It is fragrance free and formulated for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin.

What does non-nano zinc mean?

Non-nano zinc oxide sits on top of the skin rather than being absorbed, providing effective UV protection while being considered reef safe.

Is this reef safe and ocean friendly?

Yes. This mineral sunscreen is ocean and reef safe, formulated without harmful chemical UV filters.

Does this help prevent premature ageing and pigmentation?

Yes. Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ protection helps defend against sunburn, UV-induced pigmentation and premature ageing.

The first thing that impressed

"The first thing that impressed me was the colour. I have pale freckled skin and other brands I've tried are always too golden (yellow), this product is practically invisible. I find it to be moisturising without causing pimples and gives an on-trend glow. I apply the product by dabbing it onto the skin in sections rather than rubbing it across the face."
