The Good Stuff in Hello Sunshine Natural Sunscreen – Tinted: 

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 highly effective active sunscreen ingredient to give broad spectrum protection.

Organic 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. 

Organic Beeswax  

We only use natural organic beeswax in our products. Beeswax has traditionally been known to help calm and soothe. It forms a protective barrier on the skin to guard against irritants and lock in moisture.  Unlike ingredients made from petroleum, beeswax doesn’t suffocate the skin and won’t clog the pores. Bees are amazing and are in great danger around the world. Bees are not harmed during this process of the removal of the wax. We adore and respect our bees!

Castor Seed Oil 

Castor Seed Oil is a vegetable oil created by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant with a natural SPF of around 5.6 providing natural protection from oxidative damage. Castor Oil contains essential fatty acids and antioxidants making is a great addition to Hello Sunshine.

Hello Sunshine Sunscreen FAQ:

Is your sunscreen preservative free?

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

Does your sunscreen 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 sunscreen a smooth glide on finish we believe we have been able to achieve this by using naturally based ingredients like beeswax and fractionated coconut oil.

Does this sunscreen 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 sunscreen nano or non-nano?

We have chosen a zinc oxide within our sunscreen that is not a nano zinc oxide. However, the sunscreen may contain minute amounts of nanoparticles. To explain, all powders contain nanoparticles in small amounts, every zinc oxide source will contain low concentrations of sub nanoparticles, this has always been the case. The zinc oxide that we use is called ‘micronised zinc oxide’, this means that it is not predominantly nano. We don’t believe other brands can ethically claim a zinc based sunscreen is 100% non nano. We know that our sunscreen has the best quality zinc available on the market with the lowest chance of nano particles.  We have chosen the highest quality zinc oxide that we have been able to source for our sunscreen.

Is your sunscreen water resistant?

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

From what age can I use hello sunshine?

Hello Sunshine is the perfect natural sunscreen for babies. It can be used safely from 6+ months.

Is your sunscreen TGA approved and tested?  

Yes.

Is Hello Sunshine ‘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 and we don’t use any oxybenzone in Hello Sunshine Natural Sunscreen.

How much sunscreen should I use?
