Too greasy for me

Unfortunately I found this too greasy to use on my face. It has minimal white cast when rubbed in but my hair would stick to my face and the tacky feeling didn't abate till late in the day. Also it made my vitamin c serum underneath pill. Three stars because I love the ethos of the company and I can use the sunscreen on the back of my hands.

Love the new formula

This new formula is really good. I find it good enough to wear on my hands and arms everyday even when I don't go in the water.

I would recommend

Happy with this product. I like to use with the tinted sunscreen to reduce white cast, but overall, the white cast isn't too bad when rubbed in properly and it leaves a nice glow. These products are good. They don't feel heavy on the skin like most zinc based sunscreens.

Very happy

I have tried other reef-safe sunscreens but those have been heavy and greasy, and this is delicate and light, perfect for daily face use. It gives my skin a lovely dewy look, plus smells wonderful. Will be continuing to use.

FAQ

Questions and Answers

Is this sunscreen safe for kids and while pregnant or nursing?

The absence of endocrine and reproductive disruptors in our sunscreens make them safe to use during conception, pregnancy and nursing. It is also safe to use on children from 6 months of age.

Will I get A White Cast?

We use micronised zinc oxide to minimise white cast although darker skin tones may observe a minor cast, particularly with the SPF 50 sunscreen. An even application and a little extra rubbing helps blend the creams fully. 

What Does Reef-Safe Mean?

Many sunscreens contain ingredients that wash off our skins (or down the drain) to harm coral reefs, even at very small concentrations. Using a "reef safe sunscreen" means that no ingredients in that product will cause detrimental effects to marine life. That includes coral reefs but also marine mammals, turtles, fish and a variety of marine species. Remember that certain brands falsely claim to be "Reef-Safe" but actually contain chemicals harmful to ocean life, so always check the label for these toxic ingredients:

Oxybenzone,

Avobenzone,

Octinoxate,

Octocrylene,

Parabens,

Triclosan

How does SPF 50 differ from SPF 30?

No sunscreen actually blocks 100% of UV rays. SPF50+ sunscreens offer similar levels of UVB protection as SPF30 sunscreens but offer extra UVA protection. SPF50+ sunscreens allow 1/50th of ambient UV radiation through but filter out 98% of UVB radiation. SPF30 sunscreens admit 1/30th of ambient UV radiation, but block out 96.7% UVB

Is Zinc Oxide The Safer Option?

Zinc oxide provides excellent broad-spectrum protection and has several advantages over chemical actives.

Zinc particles sit on top of your skin and act as a reflective mirror to block UVA, UVB and Blue Light from penetrating your skin and causing damage and ageing.

Zinc oxide is also the only FDA and TGA approved broad-spectrum ingredient, and unlike any other active ingredient, its concentration in a product has no limitation.
