Questions and Answers
Is this sunscreen safe for kids and while pregnant or nursing?
The absence of endocrine and reproductive disruptors in our sunscreens make them safe to use during conception, pregnancy and nursing. It is also safe to use on children from 6 months of age.
Will I get A White Cast?
We use micronised zinc oxide to minimise white cast although darker skin tones may observe a minor cast, particularly with the SPF 50 sunscreen. An even application and a little extra rubbing helps blend the creams fully.
What does reef-safe mean?
Many sunscreens contain ingredients that wash off our skins (or down the drain) to harm coral reefs, even at very small concentrations. Using a "reef safe sunscreen" means that no ingredients in that product will cause detrimental effects to marine life. That includes coral reefs but also marine mammals, turtles, fish and a variety of marine species. Remember that certain brands falsely claim to be "Reef-Safe" but actually contain chemicals harmful to ocean life, so always check the label for these toxic ingredients:
Oxybenzone,
Avobenzone,
Octinoxate,
Octocrylene,
Parabens,
Triclosan
How does SPF 50 differ from SPF 30?
No sunscreen actually blocks 100% of UV rays. SPF50+ sunscreens offer similar levels of UVB protection as SPF30 sunscreens but offer extra UVA protection. SPF50+ sunscreens allow 1/50th of ambient UV radiation through but filter out 98% of UVB radiation. SPF30 sunscreens admit 1/30th of ambient UV radiation, but block out 96.7% UVB.
Is Zinc Oxide the Safer Choice?
Zinc oxide provides excellent broad-spectrum protection and has several advantages over chemical actives.
Zinc particles sit on top of your skin and act as a reflective mirror to block UVA, UVB and Blue Light from penetrating your skin and causing damage and ageing.
Zinc oxide is also the only FDA and TGA approved broad-spectrum ingredient, and unlike any other active ingredient, its concentration in a product has no limitation.
