Sun & Daughter offers a 100% natural, reef-friendly mineral sunscreen for kids sensitive skin. Approved by the Eczema Association, it contains no chemical UV filters, water, or preservatives and applies clear without a white cast.

Formulated with excellent clean ingredients. Non nano zinc. SPF 50
Sun & Daughter emphasises ethical practices in every aspect of its sunscreen production, focusing on ingredient integrity by using 100% naturally derived components, including non-nano zinc oxide, ensuring safety for children’s sensitive skin. The water-free formula avoids preservatives and minimises water waste. The sunscreen is SPF 50+ TGA-approved, endorsed by the Eczema Association of Australia, certified reef-friendly, cruelty-free and vegan. It is manufactured in Australia, adhering to high ethical standards, with a supply chain that prevents child labour and ensures fair wages. Additionally, the brand employs sustainable packaging and collaborates with Plastic Bank to reduce ocean waste.
Sun & Daughter partners with Plastic Bank to remove one plastic bottle from the ocean with each online order, supporting ethical recycling programs. Their water-free sunscreen conserves water and has a long shelf life, while all packaging—including tubes, caps and boxes—is 100% recyclable. The brand uses PCR plastic tubes that are user-friendly for children and supports a circular economy by repurposing post-consumer plastic waste. Thank-you cards are printed on recycled paper that can be reused for colouring and their sunscreen is certified reef-friendly, free from harmful chemicals. Eco-friendly shipping utilises recyclable cardboard mailers and the brand plants trees monthly to offset carbon emissions—12 trees planted since launch. Manufacturing occurs in Australia to minimise transport emissions and the minimalist formulation of their sunscreen reduces resource use in production, all contributing to a closed-loop recycling system.
Sun & Daughter partners with Plastic Bank to remove ocean-bound plastic while providing fair-wage jobs in vulnerable coastal communities, such as Haiti and the Philippines. The brand fosters community among mothers through quarterly "Mothers' Catch-Ups" in parks and beaches, offering a supportive atmosphere and free sunscreen. Their sunscreen is specially formulated for children with sensitive skin, addressing the needs of the one in three children affected by eczema. They promote outdoor play by encouraging sun safety among active kids and ensure ethical sourcing and manufacturing practices in Australia to support local jobs and reduce emissions. Additionally, the brand engages in reforestation efforts by planting trees monthly and educates parents on social media about sun safety and sustainability.

Product Reviews by Experts


I was surprised at how beautiful this sunscreen felt on the skin- it wasn’t too thick and it was very moisturising, which is is unusual for an SPF 50+ natural sunscreen. I loved that it rubbed in almost clear too, perfect for when my daughter and I are sharing sunscreens (which we often do)! The SPF Body Brush is such a genius and joyful idea- my little girl LOVES using it to apply her sunscreen and now asks to put on sunscreen every day. Sun Daughter has definitely considered their product and business impact on their customers and the planet. I particularly love that their entire postage, packaging and bottle are recyclable. It’s great to see additional care and consideration in Sun Daughter’s participation in the Plastic Bank Partnership Program, removing one plastic bottle from the ocean with every purchase of their product online.


I absolutely love the design and use of branding and font size to cater to all customers. The contrast of their brand colours and font size means that I can read the tube. The sunscreen itself is easy to use and sinks in easily. I love the fact it’s eczema approved, something that impacts a lot of parents. They also do a great job partnering with plastic bank and I love the community focus with Mum meets ups.


This is a beautiful sunscreen to use- it’s a little thicker than others but it offers two hours water resistance which is really impressive. It rubs in clear and isn’t greasy at all. I’m really impressed by the fact they use ingredients which stay on the surface and won’t be absorbed into the bloodstream. I also love their commitment to being skin-friendly and reef safe while complying to Australian and international standards.
