Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

Ideal for all skin tones, this reef-friendly, broad-spectrum, and water-resistant sun lotion uses super-safe mineral and chemical filters to defend against harmful UVA and UVB rays.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

While green algae extract protects skin from pollution and other environmental aggressors, coconut extracts and vitamin E nourish and soothe, and aloe vera and hyaluronic acid hydrate.

Whisked up with ocean-safe sun filters that protect precious coral reefs, the light, non-greasy formula sinks in easily, leaving an invisible finish with no chalkiness. And thanks to its vanilla ice cream scent, it’s a delight to apply.

Available in SPF30 and SPF50

How To Use

Liberally apply all over your body 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours, or immediately after your skin gets wet.

Do not use on damaged or broken skin. Please note: sun filters may stain white clothing.

Ingredients

Green algae extract

Algae would be in the top 10 free-radical fighting charts if there was one thanks to its high antioxidant content. An underwater superhero, it’ll do whatever it takes to keep your skin safe.

Vitamin E

An esteemed skin healer because of the nourishing properties vitamin E contains, it gives our sunny formula a real moisture boost.

Coconut extracts

Not only does the coconut help give this a delicious scent, it’s rich in fatty acids, proteins and B vitamins that keep your skin strong and resilient so it’s less vulnerable to damage from the atmosphere.

What’s the difference between Tropic SPF products?

Our sun protection range is designed to suit every skin need. Sun Day is a lightweight, broad-spectrum SPF that helps prevent daily UV damage and wears beautifully under makeup. For a touch of coverage, Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream offers SPF 50 protection and doubles as a sheer foundation.

Great Barrier – a water-resistant, lightweight body lotion suitable for all skin tones – is your go-to for sunny days outdoors. Or, if your skin is particularly fair or sensitive, Skin Shade Sun Cream is a 100% mineral, sweat-resistant option that’s gentle yet effective.

For on-the-go top-ups, Sun Stick glides on clear and can be used anywhere, anytime. And to keep delicate lips protected, Lip Shade combines broad-spectrum defence with deep conditioning care.

What’s the best SPF for reactive or sensitive skin?

Mineral sunscreens are often best for sensitive or reactive skin, as they sit on the surface and reflect UV rays rather than absorbing them. Our Skin Shade Sun Cream is a 100% mineral, fragrance-free formula that’s gentle yet effective, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin.

Can Tropic sun creams be used on children and babies?

Our entire sun protection range is suitable for children aged 3+. However, our ultra-gentle Sun Stick can be used on babies 3 months+, and is perfect for quick top ups on delicate skin.

What does broad-spectrum mean?

Where most SPF focuses on protecting skin from UVB rays, broad-spectrum describes sunscreens that provide protection against both UVB (which cause burning and can contribute to skin cancer) and UVA rays (which cause skin-ageing). Our entire sun care range provides broad-spectrum protection to effectively defend skin against all harmful UV rays and support long-term health and vitality.

Is Hydrating Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Hydrating Cleanser has been carefully crafted with sensitive, dry and eczema-prone skin in mind. Its fragrance-free, pH-balanced, and 100% naturally-derived formula is gentle yet effective. Unlike many other cleansers, it protects and restores your natural moisture barrier, to leave skin hydrated and comfortable, with absolutely no tightness.

Will Hydrating Cleanser help my dry skin?

Yes, Hydrating Cleanser is specially formulated to help dry skin. Its unique triple hydration complex, featuring ceramides, multi-weight hyaluronic acid, and phospholipids, delivers deep, long-lasting moisture while strengthening the skin’s barrier to lock hydration in. Enriched with organic aloe vera juice and refreshing cucamelon extract, it soothes, replenishes, and protects, leaving dry skin soft, balanced, and revitalised.

Is Hydrating Cleanser vegan?

Yes, like all our products, Hydrating Cleanser is vegan. It's freshly made using the finest plant-based ingredients, sustainably sourced from the tropics.

What is the texture of Hydrating Cleanser?

Hydrating Cleanser has a bouncy, lightweight, gel-like texture that transforms into a soft, comforting lather when massaged onto wet skin.

Does Hydrating Cleanser remove makeup?

If you’re wearing makeup, Hydrating Cleanser works best as your second cleanse. Use an oil-based cleanser, like our Smoothing Cleanser, to remove makeup and SPF. Then, follow with Hydrating Cleanser to lift any lingering impurities and instantly refresh your complexion.

What is Tamanu Balm?

A miracle, multi-purpose balm that soothes and repairs hundreds of skin concerns.

How Do I use Tamanu Balm?

Whether you swipe it, spread it, dab it or dot it, there are hundreds of ways to use Tamanu Balm. It can be applied to blemishes before bed to reduce inflammation, smoothed over sunburn, bites, stings and grazes to accelerate skin repair, applied to alleviate dryness and re-hydrate, and even used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and post-operative scarring.

Is Tamanu Balm suitable for all skin types?

Yes, Tamanu Balm is for everyone, even those with the most sensitive and reactive skin.

Can I use Tamanu Balm on my face?

Yes, you can use Tamanu Balm all over your body, including your face.

What age can you use Tamanu Balm from?

Tamanu Balm is suitable for anyone aged 1 month +. Safe and effective for children, it soothes everything from eczema and heat rash to minor grazes and insect bites.
