Product Reviews by Experts


It can be hard to find the right sunscreen… one that balances high-quality UVA/UVB protection with practical application for my family and nourishing ingredients. You want to look forward to reaching for it, and this one might just be it. It glides onto the skin, feels lovely between the palms, leaves no white cast and nourishes the skin, all while providing SPF 50 protection. I also love the packaging – it looks just as good sitting on my beach towel as it feels on my skin. I love the amount of thought and heart behind this brand. From choosing PCR plastic packaging that little hands can actually use, to supporting Plastic Bank, planting trees and creating a sunscreen that’s safe for children with eczema, it’s clear every decision has been carefully considered. I also love their commitment to educating families about both sun safety and sustainability.


The branding is sooo beautiful, and the included instruction booklet made the product incredibly easy to understand. I also love that it’s a 100% natural, zinc-only formula that rubs in clear while being suitable for sensitive and eczema-prone skin. Their water-free formula, non-nano zinc oxide and naturally derived ingredients show a focus on ingredient safety, while the TGA approval and Eczema Association endorsement provide added trust in the product’s performance.


The neutral smell is really inviting for a sunscreen and it applies easily. It’s not thick or gluggy which is ideal for a kid’s sunscreen as you need to be quick when applying while they wriggle! I love their efforts to remove plastic from the ocean with their Plastic Bank partnership. This is a really relevant action for a sunscreen business and a great environmental effort. As it is a children’s sunscreen, I love that they consider what is in the product and make sure it is safe for not only our oceans but for the children using it.
