What’s the difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50?

Think of SPF like your sunscreen’s strength setting. SPF 50 blocks about 98% of UVB rays, making it a great go-to for long days outside or more sensitive skin. SPF 30 blocks around 97%—perfect for daily wear, especially when you're mostly indoors or in moderate sun. Both formulas offer broad-spectrum protection—it’s less about better or worse, and more about what fits your day.

As for the formula?

Both are rooted in the same base, but here’s the subtle shift:

Product 1 (SPF 50) has a higher zinc oxide concentration (23.4%) and includes extra skin-loving botanicals like chamomile and shea—ideal for drier or more delicate skin. Product 2 (SPF 30) keeps it minimal and lightweight, with ingredients that may help the zinc glide on smoother and feel even more invisible.

Can my whole family use it?

Absolutely. From tiny tots to grandparents, this formula is pediatrician- and dermatologist-tested, safe, and nurturing for all ages. Bonus: It’s a real crowd-pleaser.

Does it leave a white cast?

Not really—but let’s be real. While this mineral sunscreen blends in beautifully for most, a thicker layer might take a bit longer to settle. Once it does, no ghostly glow or chalky film—just skin that looks like yours, protected and cared for.

How often should I reapply?

Every two hours is the golden rule—more often if you’re swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. Think of it like a little sunscreen check-in to keep your skin fully protected.

Is it reef-safe?

Yes! Using non-nano zinc oxide means it’s gentle on our oceans and coral reefs. No harmful chemical UV filters here—just pure, kind sun care.

What is sodium hyaluronate, and why is it included?

Sodium hyaluronate is basically hyaluronic acid’s skin-loving cousin. It forms a protective barrier that helps lock in moisture and smooth texture. Naturally found in your skin, it’s super hydrating and gentle—a wonderful alternative to aloe vera for nourishing and conditioning your skin.

What does “EU-compliant” mean?

It means this sunscreen meets some of the strictest skincare safety rules in the world—the European Union’s standards. It’s a seal of quality and integrity you can trust.

What sunscreen testing has been done to ensure these formulas are safe and effective?

Great question! Think sunscreens have been put through thorough testing, including:

• RIPT (Repeat Insult Patch Test): Checks for allergic reactions and irritation potential
• FDA testing: For SPF accuracy in the US

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) testing: The European standard for SPF determination

This means every tube is backed by solid science and safety.

We don’t add just anything to our shelves—this one made the cut because it’s everything we believe in:

• Simple, safe, and seriously effective
• Mineral-based, not chemical-laden
• Clear, breathable, and kind to your skin’s natural barrier
• Made with intention and integrity (and no sneaky ingredients)

We use it. We trust it. And we think you’ll love it.
