As the temperatures start to climb and the realisation that last year’s sun cream at the back of the cupboard isn’t going to cut it sets in, it’s time to upgrade your sun care. Packed with skin-loving ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and plant oils, our sun care range is all you need to shield your complexion throughout the year.
Not only do our sun care formulas sink into the skin without the sticky, chalky after-effect we often find with SPF, they’re also cruelty-free, vegan, and Protect Land and Sea certified, which means they’re reef-friendly. So, you can swim and snorkel with complete peace of mind.
Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered (pun intended!).
For everyday protection… Sun Day facial UV defence
Finding everyday sun care that will sit well on top of skincare and underneath makeup is the holy grail of SPF. Enter Sun Day facial UV defence. A broad-spectrum sun cream, it protects the skin from UVA and UVB rays and includes hyaluronic acid to hydrate, and tropical banana flower extract to calm. The thin and milky consistency means it works perfectly with your everyday skincare regime, sinking in effortlessly, and providing a dreamy makeup base.
For a hit of hydration… Great Barrier sun lotion
Let’s face it, as glorious as it is to feel the rays on our skin, warmer weather can leave our complexion dry and dull. With a combination of green algae extract to protect skin from environmental damage, coconut extracts and vitamin E to nourish, and aloe vera and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, this sun lotion bridges the gap between skincare and sun care. Light and easy to apply, its creamy vanilla scent and water-resistant properties make it a must-pack for summer getaways.
For quick top-ups… Sun Stick
Sun cream top-ups have never been so easy thanks to this handy SPF 50 balm. With no mess or fuss, it’s easy to apply – just roll it over the skin. It’s also water and sweat resistant, and has plenty of anti-inflammatory ingredients such as marshmallow root extract and tamanu oil, not to mention a soothing cocktail of vitamin E and cottonseed oil for any red patches.
For a glowing complexion… Skin Shade tinted facial sun cream
When the mercury soars and the thought of putting on makeup is too much to bear, our tinted sun cream will be your saving grace. Available in two shades, it blurs and evens out any redness whilst offering all the broad-spectrum protection you’d expect from our sun care. Full of antioxidants, such as Australian aniseed myrtle and wild hibiscus extract, it glides onto the skin and instantly gives your complexion a healthy glow.
For the sensitive types… Skin Shade sun cream
For many, the sun can be a great source of worry and discomfort. For those a little more sensitive to the heat, this reef-friendly, 100% mineral sun cream uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to create a broad-spectrum skin saviour. Although thicker in consistency, it quickly rubs in and leaves behind no greasiness, while also feeding the skin with essential fatty acids and omegas, such as kahai and roucou oils to keep it strong and soothed.
For cooling off… Sun Soothe cooling aftersun lotion
We’ve all been there – you enjoyed the warmer weather a little too much and have been left with sore patches and unsightly strap marks. Fear not, the final step of our sun care range is a soothing aftersun lotion. Designed to calm inflammation thanks to its inclusion of aloe vera, calendula extract, bisabolol, and vitamin E to ensure the skin retains its moisture, you’ll be golden brown in no time.
