Product Reviews by Experts


The Yellow Mineral Sunscreen operates from the same award-winning base as the Pink, which means the same non-nano zinc oxide, two-hour water resistance, reef-certified, Eczema Association-approved formula, but with a different play-based identity. The yellow tint makes reapplication visible, which solves the coverage problem that parents struggle with on wriggling kids: you apply it yellow and rub it clear, and you can see exactly where you’ve been. That’s more than a cosmetic choice – it’s functional sun safety design. The formula itself is gentle and light on the skin; no synthetic fragrances, no preservatives, no chemical UV filters and subtle scent. It feels moisturising and comfortable on the skin, which for an SPF 50+ natural sunscreen is a very good thing. The same Plastic Bank partnership applies here as across the Sun & Daughter range: one plastic bottle recovered from coastal ocean communities per online order, with fair-wage employment created in regions most impacted by plastic pollution. The brand’s water-free formula is not only a safety choice but an environmental one: no preservatives required, longer shelf life, reduced water consumption in production. The commitment to 100% naturally derived ingredients means nothing destructive enters the ocean when we play there with sunscreen on. The brand’s broader mission, empowering children to explore outdoors safely and fostering a love of nature, connects product design to environmental values in a way that feels genuine. The decision to offer two coloured variants serves different age groups and skin tones with the same clean base.


Similar to what I love most about the pink sunscreen, I love how this product turns sunscreen application into something children actually want to be involved in. Anything that makes the daily sunscreen routine easier is a huge win. The yellow tint is fun, playful and helps ensure even coverage during application before rubbing in clear. I also appreciate the lightweight mineral formula and the fact that it has been specifically designed for sensitive young skin. Every aspect of the product feels like it has been designed by someone who understands the realities of parenting, while also considering the broader impact on the environment.


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.
