SPF30 Sunscreen

Safe 100% natural ingredients: your toxin-free, clean sunscreen choice this season.  

• Non-greasy feel: smooth, lightweight and sits comfortably on the skin, which makes it great for both face and body.
• Baby-safe: suitable for all ages 3m+.
• Eczema-friendly: gentle on the most sensitive skin, including eczema-prone.
• Reef-friendly: no chemicals, making it a better option to safeguard aquatic life and their habitats.
• A little goes a long way: no water, preservatives or filler ingredients. Every ingredient chosen has a purpose! 
• Pleasant aroma: with hints of lavender and coconut, this sunscreen smells like summer. Sunscreen doesn't need to smell bad! 
• Eco-conscious packaging: 75g in a recyclable 100% sugarcane tube, making it easy to apply and convenient for summer adventures while lessening one's carbon footprint. Why sugarcane?
• Locally made: made here in Aotearoa with love.

How does it work? Rather than being absorbed into the skin like a traditional chemical-based sunscreen, the mineral UV filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in this case – read more about ingredients here) sit on top of the skin and deflect and/or block harmful UV rays in a similar fashion to protective clothing. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are widely considered to be the gentlest and safest sun care products.

How is this different to your previous sunscreen "Sun-Barrier Cream"? Firstly, and most importantly, the new formula has undergone rigorous SPF testing in line with the new AS/NZS 2604:2021 standards and has been formulated in conjunction with cosmetic chemists. With a nod to our original formula, it contains most of the original ingredients with the same nostalgic aroma. We have added extra ingredients to: 

• super-charge the SPF
• keep the UV filters that protect your skin evenly distributed throughout the formulation
• enhance the skin feel
• delivered to you in a convenient tube (made from 100% sugarcane), making your summer adventures easier

For best practice, while having fun in the sun, remember the saying "SLIP, SLOP, SLAP and WRAP". As well as applying SPF-rated sunscreen, this includes wearing a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing and seeking shade where possible to avoid direct exposure to UV rays. 

Our sunscreen is tested against and meets AS/NZS 2604:2021 standards. Test results available here.

Our current batch number is B001, and it is physically marked with an expiry of 10/2025. This has since been extended to 10/2026 as the remainder of the shelf life testing was completed after manufacturing.

How to Apply: Apply liberally onto dry skin 20 minutes before sun exposure to protect against UV rays. Reapply every two hours and after swimming, sweating or towelling.
