Description

Benefits:

  • A tinted cream with natural broad spectrum sun protection
  • Zinc Oxide instead of UV filters for long-lasting sun protection
  • SPF 40 protects skin from 98% of UV radiation
  • Iron Oxide is what gives this cream it’s skin tone colour

S-MOOth out your complexion with Broad Spectrum protection! This natural cream is perfect for anyone who needs a way to smooth out their skin tone in harsh sunlight whilst protecting their skin with broad spectrum SPF 40. We use Zinc Oxide for sun protection as it acts as a physical barrier on the skin reflecting UVA ad UVB rays away from the skin.

It has natural moisturising oils for hydration, and minerals to add a natural tan coloured tint. What it doesn’t have are chemical UV filters, penetration enhancers, PEG s or synthetic preservatives. Beachside, poolside, or at a BBQ - slap it on and go anywhere feeling like a s-MOOth skinned Goddess or God, knowing you’re protected from the sun.

Products that contain Zinc can be a little harder to apply that thinner formulas that don’t contain Zinc, or those spray ones that seem convenient but it’s hard to tell if your skin is covered. We recommend rubbing our Zinc-based products in with a quick smear, and then allow it to sit on the skin for 30 seconds or so to warm up to body temperature, and then rub in. A little extra effort for a lot of extra benefit. Avoid contact with eyes; wear cool sunnies instead.

FAQ:

How does SPF rating work?

A higher SPF rating requires a lot more sunscreen chemicals for diminishing returns. SPF 15 blocks 94% of UV radiation while SPF 30 blocks 97%, a 3% difference but a lot more ingredients that make higher SPF products feel thicker on the skin. SPF 15 will provide protection for 4 hours for someone who would normally burn in 15 minutes. SPF 30 provides protection for 8 hours of sun.  The amount of protection, in reality, depends upon both the SPF rating and the thickness or amount which is applied.

(The other way to look at this is that SPF 15 allows 6% of UV through, while SPF 30 allows 3%, so a reduction of 50%. It depends on how you do the math.)

How does sun protection work?

There are two main types of sunscreens. Firstly, natural sunscreens that use Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide as a physical barrier that reflect UVA and UVB away. The second type is "UV Filters" that absorb high energy UV radiation and emit low energy radiation. These are always synthetic, which is why we choose to use Zinc Oxide to provide natural sun protection.

Isn’t Zinc normally white?

Yes, Zinc Oxide would normally be white on the skin. We use a special type of Zinc Oxide that is made here in Australia that is dispersed within Jojoba Oil which helps make it clear and non-greasy. The Iron Oxide in our formula gives the cream its tint and also helps it blend in nicely to the skin. It’s also responsible for the colour in Australia’s red, fertile soils.

What are UV filters?

These are various chemicals that absorb high energy UV radiation and re-emit it as low radiation. These are always synthetic, which is why we choose to use Zinc Oxide to provide natural sun protection.

Should I wear sunscreen every day?

This is a very personal choice and depends on a lot of things such as how much time you’ll be spending outdoors in direct sunlight as well as your skin tone and tolerance of the sun. Personally, we use sunscreen when we know we are going to be spending a lot of time outside, but on other days when we are just going into the office, we prefer to use one of our other non-SPF moisturisers, and we have a few. Bear in mind that up to 2/3 of Australians are Vitamin D deficient. Only around 15 minutes of sunshine is required 2-3 times a week for the average person to obtain correct amounts of Vitamin D.

Where can I find out more about sunscreen?

Sunscreens with SPF ratings over 15 are considered "therapeutic products" and so their safety or efficacy cannot be questioned. The way to get information is to spend 15 minutes doing your own research online to help choose the right sunscreen for you. 

Do your SPF products contain nano particles?

Our sunscreens do contain nano-particles. Any clear Zinc on the market is now classed as ‘nano-particles’ BUT of different sizes. These have previously had a bad rap, however, the description of a nano-particle has since changed so they will not cause any harm. We use a standard Zinc Oxide with a median particle size of approximately .31  microns (this is 310 nanometres), with all particles between 0.25 microns and 0.35 microns. As a result, Zinc Oxide is nearly invisible when applied to the skin yet still offers both broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. This means none is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Is your Tinted SPF 15 Face Cream water-resistant?

This formula is water-resistant but make sure to reapply immediately after activity and swimming. Pair up with our SPF 15 Lip Balm to ensure you are fully covered and protected.

Are your products reef-friendly?

Absolutely! Our SPF products are proudly reef-friendly as we don’t use any of the synthetic ingredients that are known to damage and harm coral reefs.

What is the percentage of Zinc Oxide in your sunscreens?

Our SPF 40 products contains 24.96% Zinc, and our SPF 15 products contains 19% Zinc.
