THE GOOD STUFF:

Zinc Oxide

Zinc oxide is a powdered mineral that sits on top of the skin, scattering, reflecting, and absorbing UVA & UVB rays. Zinc Oxide is a effective active Facestick ingredient to give broad spectrum protection.

Castor Oil

Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis). We use castor oils because of it’s high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids. Castor oil has many powerful benefits on the skin and we use it because of it’s natural protection.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has a natural SPF.  Like coconuts themselves,  coconut oil is rich in essential fats. These essential fats are thought to keep the skin healthy and rejuvenated.  Coconut oil is often used as a moisturiser for the skin. We adore coconut oil and use it in many of our products. 

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter is high in fatty acids, which is why it’s often touted for its ability to hydrate and nourish the skin and improve elasticity.

Carnauba Wax

Carnauba wax comes from the leaves of the carnauba palm, a plant that grows in northeastern Brazil. In hot, dry weather, the palm secretes wax to protect its leaves from damage. We use it in our sunscreen for natural skin protection

Simmondsia chinensis oil (jojoba)

Jojoba Oil is known to moisturize, soothe and protect.  We love that it’s a light oil brimming with vitamin E.  

Carnauba Wax

An odourless hypoallergenic wax suitable for all skin types. It’s especially good for sensitive skin.

TINTED FACESTICK FAQ:

Is your Tinted Facestick preservative free?

Yes. We don’t use any chemical or synthetic preservatives within hello sunshine tinted facestick… and by that we mean Nothing. Zero. None. Nada. Zilch. Zip.

Does your Tinted Facestick contain parabens?

Absolutely not. We don’t believe in using parabens within any of our product range. Parabens are possible endocrine disrupters and while they are what gives the Tinted Facestick a smooth glide on finish we believe we have been able to achieve this with using naturally based ingredients like silica and fractionated coconut oil.

Does this Tinted FACESTICK stain clothes?

It should not stain clothes since it does not contain organic solar absorbers which are renowned for fabric staining. However this is fabric dependent and we encourage you to test this for yourself as we cannot offer guarantees about clothes staining.

Is your Tinted FACESTICK nano or non nano?

We have chosen a zinc oxide within our Tinted Facesticks that is not a nano zinc oxide. However, the Facestick may contain nano particles. To explain, all powders contain nano particles in small amounts, every zinc oxide source will contain low concentrations of sub nano particles, this has always been the case. The zinc oxide that we use is called micronised, this means that it is not predominantly nano. We have chosen the highest quality zinc oxide that we have been able to source for our Tinted Facesticks.

Is your Tinted FACESTICK water resistant?

Yes but as per instructions needs to be re-applied frequently after swimming.

What age can I use THE hello sunshine Tinted FACESTICK from?

Hello Sunshine Tinted Facestick can be used safely from 6+ months.

Is your Tinted FACESTICK TGA approved and tested?  

Yes.

Is Hello Sunshine Tinted FACESTICK ‘reef friendly?’ 

There is some scientific evidence that oxybenzone, a sunscreen active, could be contributing to coral bleaching. We don’t use oxybenzone in any of our products.Ti
