Mineral versus Synthetic Sun Creams (sunscreen)
Sun creams with synthetic chemical sun filters, such as Oxybenzone, absorb and scatter UV rays by converting them into heat, which is then released by the skin. Synthetic sun filters are absorbed into your skin, and wear off in water, potentially damaging coral reef systems.
Mineral sun creams use natural minerals (such as zinc oxide) to act as a physical barrier, blocking UV rays from the skin’s surface. This provides instant sun protection. No need to wait for absorption like you do with synthetic chemical sun creams. Our sun cream is non-nano, meaning the mineral sun filters sit on top of your skin, and they are less harmful to aquatic life.
Our Natural SPF 25 Mineral Suncream is ideal for daily use on the face and body. Free From Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Titanium Dioxide, and Avobenzone. Best for normal, combination, sensitive, and mature skin. Suitable for children and babies 3+ months old.

Natural SPF Every Day?We advocate that everyone needs around 15 minutes of safe sun exposure daily in order to produce vitamin D, and to help regulate your mood, sleep and hormone levels. However, it makes sense to wear natural SPF on your face and neck because these areas are exposed to UV rays for longer periods of time on a more frequent basis. If you're out in the sun, it can be hard to monitor safe sun exposure. Extra sun protection provided by hats, loose clothing, shade and natural sun cream is a good idea, especially for children and babies.
Beauty Benefits of Natural SPFAdding natural daily SPF to your skincare routine may help keep your face, neck and décolletage looking and feeling more youthful as you age. It works by reducing the amount of UV exposure to those areas, which are the first to show signs of premature ageing. UV exposure is partially responsible for premature skin ageing, pigmentation, and may increase your risk of developing skin cancer.
Why Mineral Sun Cream is BetterMineral sun creams use natural minerals (we use zinc oxide) to act as a physical barrier, blocking UV rays from the skin’s surface. This provides instant sun protection. No need to wait for absorption like you do with synthetic chemical sun creams. Our sun cream is non-nano, meaning the mineral sun filters sit on top of your skin, and they are less harmful to aquatic life.
White Cast? Breakouts?
Our natural SPF 25 Sun Cream uses fine mineral sun filters that are cleverly suspended in a non-greasy, 99% natural formula. This helps disperse the minerals evenly for better sun protection and no white cast once fully massaged into your skin.
This sun cream is best for normal, combination, sensitive, and mature skin. Thorough cleansing is critical when using mineral sun cream. We recommend using Juice Cleanse to remove all traces of our SPF before bedtime.
FAQS
Our sun cream uses natural zinc oxide minerals to act as a physical barrier, blocking UV rays from your skin’s surface. This provides instant sun protection. No need to wait for absorption like you do with synthetic chemical sun creams. Our sun cream is non-nano, meaning the zinc mineral sun filters sit on top of your skin, and they are less harmful to aquatic life.
No. It may be surprising, but there is only around a 2% difference in UV protection between SPF 25 and SPF 50.
SPF 25 blocks around 96% of UVB rays, and SPF 50 blocks around 98%. The key is to apply natural sun cream generously and frequently, regardless of the SPF level, to ensure proper protection.
Our natural mineral sun cream is formulated for use as a daily facial moisturiser. You should apply it before sun exposure, and as the last step in your skincare routine prior to any makeup. For constant sun protection, apply this sun cream generously every hour, and after swimming, sweating or towelling.
Broad Spectrum is an SPF (Sun-Protection Factor) test, separate from the SPF rating itself. If a sun cream passes the test, it will help protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. If your sun cream isn’t Broad Spectrum, it won’t protect you from all UVA rays even if it has a high SPF rating.
UVA rays account for 95% of all UV rays that make it to the Earth’s surface. These rays are present all year round, even in cloudy weather. UVA rays penetrate deep into your skin and can pass through glass. These rays are mainly associated with skin ageing and damaging collagen.
UVB rays account for just 5% UV rays. These rays are more intense and prevalent in summer. UVB rays penetrate and damage the top layers of the skin, which may cause DNA mutations associated with skin cancer.
Yes, and it's important to shield your tattoos from too much sun. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the ink pigments to break down, leading to fading and discolouration. Do not apply sun cream to fresh tattoos. Instead, keep them covered and avoid sunlight completely. Once fully healed, you can start using SPF to protect your ink.
We believe that opting for a mineral sun cream is the healthiest and most sustainable choice. Mineral sun creams typically include Zinc Oxide, a Reef Friendly mineral that serves as a physical sun filter on your skin. If your sun cream contains synthetic sun filters (for example; oxybenzone, octocrylene or octinoxate, etc.), it’s not considered Reef Friendly. Synthetic sun filter ingredients may be harmful to marine life when they wash down the drain or while you swim outdoors.
Yes. Our natural SPF 25 Mineral Sun Cream is effectively a daily moisturiser with a built-in sun filter that provides SPF 25 sun protection. For the best coverage and application, we recommend using our Brightening Serum first, then apply the SPF while your skin in still dewy from the serum. Makeup can be worn overtop of our SPF.
The term "Non-Nano" is used to describe any powder with particles that have been scientifically measured at 100 nanometres or larger. This sizing criteria means that the powder particles will sit on top of your skin, as they are too big to be absorbed.
Our natural mineral SPF 25 sun cream contains organic essential oils. If in doubt, please check with your primary healthcare provider. A woman’s body chemistry is extra sensitive during pregnancy.
Our natural mineral SPF 25 sun cream is safe for use on babies over 3 months old.

As a long time customer, I’m so happy that you launched this SPF. (It’s so hard to find an SPF without all the nasties and without plastic.) This a fabulous product, especially when used with the Juice Cleanser combined with the Sea Quartz exfoliator (as you suggest).
