Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

Providing 100% mineral sun protection, this broad-spectrum, reef-friendly sun cream harnesses the power of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to defend against UV rays.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Ideal for ultra-sensitive skin types and those who are naturally fair, it’s long lasting, sweat-resistant, and fast-absorbing.

Kahai and roucou oils feed the skin with fatty acids and omegas, while a trio of plum extracts from the Kakadu, Illawarra, and Burdekin ward off pollution and toxins. Leaving behind no greasiness or chalkiness.

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

Kahai and roucou oils

Kahai, from the South American Cacay tree is one of beauty’s secret weapons. Abundant in vitamin E it tackles everything from reducing fine lines to fighting free radicals. Roucou oil is another excellent skin firmer that’s packed with beta-carotene and together, they not only keep skin soft, they support it and stop it from degradation.

Kakadu and illawarra plum

These juicy pulpy fruits are a dab hand at dealing with oxidative stresses and help to keep skin calm in times of trouble. Fighting fine lines, pigmentation and sunspots, the high content of vitamin C will also bring vitality and radiance to your skin.

Zinc oxide

As well as batting away UV rays, the natural antibacterial agent zinc oxide fights inflammation and is why it’s used in spot treatments, nappy rash lotions and calming creams. It also means it’s got a great reputation for soothing prickly heat.

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.
