Product Reviews by Experts
I was excited to try this pink sunscreen, it felt like such a throwback to the thick neon zincs I loved to slather on as a kid. Getting sunscreen onto a child who would rather be in the water is one of the persistent small battles of parenting near the ocean, and Sun & Daughter have circumnavigated it with a simple, joyful reframe: the sunscreen is pink, it goes on clear, and kids want to play with it (even put it on!). The formula is impressive – Eczema Association of Australia approved, free from chemical UV filters and preservatives, non-nano zinc oxide that stays put. Two hours of water resistance on a natural mineral sunscreen at SPF 50+ is a celebratory achievement. The Plastic Bank partnership is one of the most direct ocean impact programs I’ve seen from a sunscreen brand: one plastic bottle removed from coastal communities for every online order. The brand reports removing over 10,000 plastic bottles from the ocean already, employing people in vulnerable coastal communities to collect and recycle ocean-bound plastic, generating income alongside environmental impact. The water-free formula itself is an act of environmental responsibility: no preservatives needed, longer shelf life, less water waste. All packaging is 100% recyclable – and PCR plastic is used in their tubes.
I was already familiar with this product before judging as I had previously purchased it after seeing it online, so I was excited to see it included in this category. As a mum of two young children, one of the things I love most is how it makes sunscreen application feel fun rather than a battle. The pink tint is such a clever idea and instantly appeals to kids, while the colour rubbing in clear gives parents confidence that coverage has been applied properly. I also really like the brush applicator, which makes application quick, mess-free and easy to use on little faces. Combined with the gentle formula and suitability for sensitive skin, it feels like a product that genuinely understands the challenges parents face when trying to keep children protected from the sun. What impressed me most is how thoughtfully the brand balances practicality, sustainability and family needs. I appreciate that every decision appears to have been made with real-world parenting in mind, from the choice of packaging through to the gentle formulation. Their commitment to removing plastic from the ocean through Plastic Bank, planting trees and continually exploring more sustainable packaging options demonstrates a genuine desire to create positive environmental impact. I also love their focus on building community among mums and making sun safety more accessible and enjoyable for families.
The packaging of this brand is eye catching and cute and the addition of the little brush made it fun for the kids to apply the sunscreen. No strong overpowering sunscreen scent, which was really refreshing; the kids didn’t have any irritation/sensitivities to this formula (my middle child has sensitivities to particular sunscreen) and the colour of the sunscreen made it extra fun. I really love that the sunscreen can be used for 6+ months old and is 50+ SPF. The tube is a generous size. The sunscreen itself wasn’t too thick, absorbed nicely and did not feel overly tacky on the skin. I love everything that this brand stands for, their statements provided a lot of information to read upon and I couldn’t fault anything! I love this brand – they seem like their sunscreen has been created with intention and care. Their sunscreen is made with naturally derived ingredients using non-nano zinc oxide as the only active and avoids chemical filters, preservatives, fragrances and other unnecessary additives which I think is important for sunscreen. I also love that they are backed by strong trust signals like SPF 50+ TGA approval, Eczema Association approval, and reef-friendly testing and it’s made in Australia under ethical manufacturing standards. I love how far they go beyond the product with recyclable packaging, removing plastic from the ocean through Plastic Bank, planting trees etc.
