Mineral Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 50 - 75g

A mineral sunscreen made with non-nano zinc oxide. Formulated so the white cast doesn't stick around:

• Suitable for sensitive skin
• Matte finish
• 2h water resistant

The practical difference between mineral and chemical sunscreens comes down to how they sit on your skin and how your skin responds. Zinc oxide is generally well tolerated by people who react to chemical filters, which is why it's a go-to for sensitive skin.

What does "non nano" zinc oxide mean?
It refers to the particle size of the zinc oxide. Non-nano particles are larger, which means they sit on the skin's surface rather than being absorbed. Some people prefer this because it means the active ingredient stays where you put it.

Will it leave a white cast?
No. This is a clear zinc formula, so it blends in without the chalky white layer that older zinc sunscreens were known for.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. It's fragrance free, dermatologically tested, and uses zinc oxide as the active ingredient, which is generally well tolerated by reactive skin.

Can I use this mineral sunscreen on my face?
Yes. The formula is gentle enough for facial use and it goes on clear, so it works under makeup or on its own.

Is this sunscreen vegan?
Yes. It's also fragrance free and contains no animal-derived ingredients.

How often do I need to reapply mineral sunscreen?
Every 2 hours as a general rule, or straight away after swimming, sweating, or towelling off. The formula is water resistant for up to 2 hours.

Does zinc sunscreen expire?
Yes, like all sunscreens. Check the expiry date on the tube. If it's changed colour, texture, or smell, replace it.
