Mineral vs Chemical Sunscreen

Chemical sunscreens absorb into the skin and convert UV rays into heat, which can irritate sensitive or reactive skin. Mineral (physical) sunscreens work differently - the heroes of this collection, non-nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, sit on the skin's surface and reflect UVA and UVB rays away like a shield. They offer immediate broad-spectrum protection the moment they're applied, are gentle and hypoallergenic, and are a better fit for sensitive skin, reactive skin and babies.

Face & Body Sunscreens

Everyday SPF 50 formulas from brands like Mother SPF, Avocado Zinc and Winki Zinc protect face and body, many with water resistance for active days and the beach.

Tinted & Multitasking Formulas

Modern mineral sunscreens do more than protect - tinted balms like the Sol Sista Butta Block and 4-in-1 SPF formulas double as moisturiser, primer and light coverage, blurring and evening skin as they shield it.

Sensitive & Hydrating Options

Formulas enriched with hyaluronic acid, jojoba, kakadu plum and vitamin C soothe and hydrate the skin barrier while they protect - ideal for dry or reactive skin.

How to Apply Mineral Sunscreen

Apply generously to all exposed skin around 20 minutes before sun exposure - most people underapply, so use more than you think you need. Warming the formula between your fingers first helps it spread smoothly and reduces any white cast from the zinc. Reapply at least every two hours, and always straight after swimming, sweating or towelling. Remember sunscreen is only one part of sun safety, so pair it with a hat, shade and protective clothing.
