We wish making a good sunscreen using only Zinc as the active was as easy as putting Zinc into a moisturiser; but it’s not.

Developing a sunscreen with broad-spectrum sun protection using only Zinc, without being too greasy is very complicated. The cream needs to be stable, provide a good reflective film, be naturally preserved etc. All of these things took us 4 years of work to achieve. But it was worth it, because we were able to make something we’re proud of and happy to use on ourselves, our family and our loved ones.

We use Zinc because it’s naturally derived, even if it makes the cream a bit thicker and a little harder to apply. Zinc (Nano) Oxide acts like a reflective umbrella on the skin, reflecting UV rays away. It’s also suitable for all ages, from babies to adults, and even newborns. And also all skin types, even for the most sensitive.

Our sunscreen suits people that are sensitive to sunscreen with UV filters, and want a Zinc-based sunscreen that is not greasy. It’s also for people who like to know what’s in their sunscreen.

Our original SPF testing was conducted by Dermatest (now Eurofins), an Australian-based laboratory. We also carried out a voluntary follow-up test on an 18-month-old batch, along with preliminary waterproof testing. While the results confirmed the formula is waterproof for up to 40 minutes, we always recommend reapplying sunscreen after swimming, as water and towel-drying can reduce protection.

In light of the recent SPF discussions, we commissioned an additional independent test through Helioscience in France, a credible third-party laboratory. Although this wasn’t required, we chose to do so because we’re committed to transparency and providing the highest quality products. The latest test returned an impressive SPF 71 result, a reflection of how our formula and Zinc sourcing have continued to improve over time.

Because we make our products for our families, we have a strict ingredient philosophy that excludes ingredients like Parabens, Phenoxyethanol and penetration enhancers.
