What our experts say...
It is impossible to know where to start when talking about what I liked most about this product! The formula is incredible to apply, is non-greasy, leaves your skin feeling as though it has just been moisturised and protects beautifully. But that is just the beginning. The dedication by EK in formulating a product organically, naturally, and with respect and commitment to preserving the health of people and our fragile ecosystems, is worthy of applause. I was really impressed with the approach that EK have taken towards formulating this standout product.

I loved that this sunscreen went on my face and didn’t even feel like I was wearing any and my pores didn’t feel blocked. I put this on our family for a whole weekend, it smells good and I know we are protected from the sun. Ticks every box of mine when it comes to being a conscious product and business. I especially love that their bottles are now made of sugarcane packaging. Well done Earth’s Kitchen!

This was a favourite from last year! There’s something so refreshing about jumping into the ocean knowing you are wearing a super-protective (SPF 50) sunscreen that not only protects you, but the ocean you are diving into! This brand does wonderful things to help protect our dying reefs as well as native forests in NZ. Meanwhile, their sunscreen is 100% reef safe and a far better alternative to the conventional sunscreens that are wreaking havoc in our oceans. At SPF 50, the sunscreen is thick, but thanks to the added essential oils and beeswax, it disperses easily and is not at all drying for your skin (or palms!) A beautiful scent too.

This is one of the least visible sunscreens I have applied despite feeling quite concentrated coming out of the tube. Smelling divine, this is easy to apply and packed with skin nourishing ingredients. I love how Earth’s Kitchen is so active in their efforts to raise awareness about protecting our reefs.
