Product Description

WHAT IS IT?
This broad-spectrum, reef-friendly sun cream delivers 100% mineral protection with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, shielding sensitive skin from UVA and UVB rays.


WHAT DOES IT DO?
Formulated for even the most delicate complexions, this sensitive skin sun cream is long-lasting, sweat-resistant, and fast-absorbing, without leaving greasiness or a chalky cast.
Kahai and roucou oils nourish with essential omegas, while a potent blend of Kakadu, Illawarra, and Burdekin plum extracts helps defend against pollution and environmental stressors.
Gentle, effective, and skin-loving, this sun cream is a sun care staple for all-day radiance and protection.

How To Use

Arrow Down

Liberally apply the sun cream all over your body 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply your sunscreen 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 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

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

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.

The Story Behind Our Smoothing Cleanser

"When I first set out to create a cleanser, I knew it had to do more than just remove makeup. I wanted it to feel like a moment of calm at the start and end of your day; a gentle ritual that would leave your skin soft, balanced, and cared for, no matter your skin type.

That’s how Smoothing Cleanser was born. Powered by nourishing jojoba oil and soothing aloe vera, it’s been part of my daily routine for over a decade and it’s still the product I’m most proud of".

Founder & CEO

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

  • Recycle the remaining glass bottle  

To return your five Innerbottle® balloons and claim your £10 voucher, complete the form below.  

Bronze

Use the pointed end of the Precision Face Brush to sweep your bronzer along your cheekbones, blending outward for a naturally lifted look.

Blush

With the same end, apply your blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending out and up for a fresh, radiant flush.

Highlight

Switch to the domed end of the Precision Face Brush to apply your highlighter. Sweep a soft C from your brow bone to the tops of your cheeks.

Define The Eyes

Take the Expert Blending Brush to blend your bronzer into your eye creases, creating a gorgeous depth that ties your look together.

Eyeshadow

Use the 3-in-1 Eye Brush to apply your shadow across the lid, blending outward for a soft finish. Add highlighter to the inner corners for instant brightness.

Liner & Brows

For subtle definition, use the angled tip of the 3-in-1 Eye Brush to sweep your Brow Boss along the outer lash line. Then, shape and fill your brows for a naturally defined look.

All-Over Warmth

Finish with the Kabuki Brush, sweeping your bronzer across your forehead and jawline for a seamless, sun-kissed glow.

The Story Behind Finishing Touch

"While most setting sprays use synthetic plastics, we chose to use plant-powered polymers instead. Infused with natural extracts and antioxidants, Finishing Touch is a breathable setting spray that locks in makeup for up to 16 hours – all while enhancing your natural radiance with every wear."

The Story Behind Our CC Cream

"During my pregnancy, I knew life was about to get a whole lot busier, and my beauty routine would need to keep up. I wanted one product that could do it all: protect my skin, even my tone, provide breathable coverage, and help me feel confident, so, I created this multi-tasking must-have.

It's my daily go-to, and I hope it becomes yours too!"

Can I use Skin Shade Sun Cream on my face?

Absolutely. It’s non-comedogenic, non-greasy, and kind to skin, so it works beautifully on both face and body. However, you may prefer our Sun Day Facial UV Defence or Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream which are especially formulated for the face; either to sit under makeup or double as a sheer foundation.

Is Skin Shade Sun Cream reef-safe?

Yes, it’s made without reef-damaging ingredients like oxybenzone or octinoxate. Our mineral sun screen formulation is kind to your skin and the planet.

Is this sun cream suitable for eczema-prone skin?

Yes, Skin Shade Sun Cream is fragrance-free and formulated without common irritants, making it a gentle choice for those with eczema-prone or allergy-sensitive 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.

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.

Is this sun cream suitable for reactive and sensitive skin?

Yes, with a 100% mineral formula this sun cream is suitable for 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.

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.

Does Skin Shade Sun Cream stain clothes?

Our 100% mineral sunscreen formula is designed to be fast-absorbing and low-transfer, but as with most sun filters, it may stain white fabrics. We recommend allowing the sun cream to fully absorb before dressing.
