Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

An eco alternative to single-use cotton rounds and makeup wipes, these reusable, multi-functional facial pads are small in size, but big on impact.

Carefully woven from upcycled cotton and FSC-certified wood pulp fibres, each pad can be used up to 200 times.

So, with every economical pack of 10, you'll not only be saving money, but preventing a whopping 2,000 disposable rounds from being thrown into landfill too.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Transforming from firm to plush when soaked with water, the innovative, dual-sided design features a striped half for gentle cleansing and toner application, with diamond etchings on the reverse for light exfoliation.

Plus, every order comes with a FREE machine-washable mesh bag for storing and laundering your pads.

At the end of their lifecycle, pop them in your at-home food waste or compost and help nature re-blossom too. It's all part of our unwavering commitment to help create a greener world.

How To Use

Soak your pad with water to transform it from stiff to super soft.

Then, squeeze out any excess.

Gently sweep over your face, neck and décolletage to wipe away cleanser morning and night, or to apply toning essences, like our Juicy Greens.

The striped side is perfect for the delicate eye and lip area, and the diamond side for added exfoliation anywhere else.

When finished, wash your pad, let it reharden and store it for next time.

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!

Founder & CEO

The Story Behind Our Butter Tint

We’re all craving more versatile, multifunctional products that simplify our routines. So, we set about creating this effortless tint that instantly enhances your natural beauty, while being fool-proof to apply. Just swipe onto lips, dab onto cheeks, and glide onto eyes for a gorgeously put-together look, without the hassle.

Founder & CEO

What is CC cream used for?

CC Cream is used to even out skin tone, correct redness or dullness, and provide lightweight, natural-looking coverage - all while delivering skincare benefits and broad-spectrum sun protection.

Our CC Cream combines broad-spectrum SPF 50 with nourishing ingredients and SkinSync™ adaptive pigments that adjust to your skin tone. It’s perfect for daily wear, helping you achieve a radiant, ‘your-skin-but-better’ look in one simple step.

What is SkinSync™ technology?

SkinSync™ technology is what makes our CC Cream blend perfectly with your skin. It uses clever colour-adapting pigments that adjust to your unique skin tone as you apply it. This means you get even, natural-looking coverage, every time.

How do I choose the right shade?

It’s easy to find your perfect CC Cream based on the the shades you already wear in our makeup range:

Porcelain | SPF 50
For wearers of foundation and concealer shades 1–2.

Light | SPF 50
For wearers of foundation and concealer shades 3–4.

Medium | SPF 50
For wearers of foundation and concealer shades 5–6.

Tan | SPF 50
For wearers of foundation and concealer shades 7–8.

Deep | SPF 50
For wearers of foundation and concealer shades 9–11.

Is CC Cream suitable for oily, dry, or mature skin?

Yes, our CC Cream is formulated to work beautifully across all skin types. If you have oily or combination skin, you’ll love its lightweight, breathable texture that won’t clog pores or feel heavy. For dry or mature skin, the formula is enriched with hydrating and collagen-supporting ingredients like niacinamide and amla berry to nourish and smooth the complexion.

Whatever your skin type, our CC Cream blends effortlessly and delivers a radiant, natural finish without settling into fine lines or looking cakey.

Is CC Cream suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. Our CC Cream is formulated without harsh ingredients, silicones, or synthetic fragrances. It’s packed with skin-soothing, barrier-friendly ingredients like niacinamide and amla berry, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin types.

Can I use CC Cream instead of Sun Day Facial UV Defence or Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream?

Yes, our CC Cream offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection when used as directed, so there’s no need to layer it with another SPF. Like the rest of our sun care range, it’s made with reef-safe filters to protect both your skin and the planet. Just remember to reapply every 2 hours, or after swimming, sweating, or towelling off.

Should I use a primer or skincare underneath CC Cream?

We recommend applying CC Cream after your usual skincare routine (cleansing, toning, and using your regular serums and oils). Since CC Cream is packed with moisturising properties, it can double-up as your daily moisturiser if preferred. There's also no need to apply a separate SPF or primer, as CC Cream offers SPF 50 protection and a smooth, even finish.

How do I choose the right Butter Tint shade for me?

Each tint offers a sheer, buildable wash of colour designed to flatter every skin tone. But if you’d like to try the shades and get matched to your favourite, reach out to your Tropic Ambassador for free advice.

Do Butter Tints have a scent?

Yes, they’re subtly scented with coconut and natural vanilla extract. Not only do they smell delicious, but they're also rich in antioxidants to help protect skin from signs of ageing.

How much colour do Butter Tints give?

They deliver a light, sheer tint – just enough to give lips, cheeks, and eyes a healthy-looking flush. But if you're looking for a more pigmented pop of colour, they're easily buildable too.

Are Butter Tints suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. They’re 100% natural, packed with skin-loving butters, and free from silicones and synthetic ingredients, making them gentle enough for even the most delicate skin.

Can I recycle the Butter Tint packaging?

Butter Tints are part of our Return, Recycle, Reward scheme. Send back five empties with our freepost label and we’ll give you a voucher for the full price of a new one.

What is a tinted sunscreen?

A tinted sunscreen combines sun protection with a sheer tint to even skin tone and enhance radiance. Tropic’s Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream offers SPF 50 mineral protection with a natural-looking tint, so you get coverage and UV defence in one step.

Is Skin Shade Tinted Sun Cream suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. As a 100% mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, it’s gentle and fragrance-free, making it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.

Is Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes. This mineral-based, non-comedogenic formula uses lightweight ingredients like golden jojoba oil that help balance oil production without clogging pores. It’s a great tinted SPF moisturiser for oily and blemish-prone skin types.

Can I use this tinted sunscreen with makeup?

Yes, it works beautifully as a lightweight base under foundation or on its own for a dewy, even-toned finish. Its smooth, silky texture also makes it easy to blend over makeup for SPF top-ups to stay protected throughout the day.

What shade should I choose?

Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream is available in two adaptable shades designed to blend into a range of skin tones. If you're unsure, choose the lighter option for fair to medium complexions, and the darker for medium to deep tones. The formulas are buildable and blend seamlessly.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Is Sun Day Facial UV defence suitable for oily skin skin?

Yes, the lightweight, non-greasy formula is ideal for oily or combination skin. It provides high protection without clogging pores or leaving a heavy finish, helping to keep skin fresh, balanced and protected throughout the day.

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.

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.

Does Sun Day leave a white cast?

Not at all. The formula is completely invisible once applied, making it suitable for all skin tones.

Is Sun Day suitable for daily use under makeup?

Absolutely - it's designed to wear beautifully under makeup thanks to its smooth, priming finish and fast-absorbing texture.

What are tanning drops and how do they work?

Tanning drops are concentrated tanning agents that you mix with your moisturiser to gradually build a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow. They work by mimicking the colour of your skin’s own melanin while interacting with the outer layer of your skin to safely create a bronzed effect without sun exposure.

How long do tanning drops last?

The tan develops gradually over 8-10 hours and typically lasts around 3-5 days. Regular use helps maintain a consistent, natural-looking glow.

Can I use tanning drops with other skincare products?

Yes! Tanning drops mix easily with most moisturisers. Avoid using on the same nights as exfoliating products like Fruit Smooth or Glow Berry for best results.

Is Sun Drops Gradual Tanning Facial Serum suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, our formula is gentle and certified organic. It's enriched with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera and coconut water, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

Does Sun Drops Gradual Tanning Facial serum clog pores or cause breakouts?

Sun Drops are non-comedogenic and lightweight. They're designed to work with your skincare routine and shouldn’t clog pores. Always patch-test first if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.

How do I remove tanning drops from my face?

The glow fades naturally over a few days, but if needed, gentle exfoliation with a gentle exfoliating product can help speed up the process.

Can I wear makeup over tanning drops?

Yes, once fully absorbed and your tan has developed, you can apply makeup as normal. Many Sun Drop users find they need less makeup thanks to the natural glow!

What are bronzing drops and how do they work?

Bronzing drops are glow-enhancing liquids you can mix with skincare or makeup. They give your skin a sun-kissed bronze effect while delivering hydrating and brightening benefits.

Can I wear Sun Glaze Illuminating Bronzing Drops without makeup?

Yes! They’re perfect for no-makeup days. Apply alone to cheekbones, collarbones or eyelids for a fresh, dewy finish.

How are bronzing drops different from tanning drops?

Tanning drops like Sun Drops Tanning Facial Serum gradually develop a tan over time. Bronzing drops, like Sun Glaze, give an instant glow that washes off at the end of the day. Think radiant, makeup-style luminosity.

Can I mix Sun Glaze Illuminating Bronzing Drops with moisturiser or foundation?

Definitely. Add a few drops to your moisturiser for a bronzed glow, or blend with foundation for luminous coverage.

Do these bronzing drops work for all skin tones?

Yes, Sun Glaze Illuminating Bronzing Drops are designed with universally flattering, sustainably sourced mica pigments that adapt to different skin tones for a radiant finish.

Are Sun Glaze Illuminating Bronzing Drops suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?

Sun Glaze Illuminating Bronzing Drops are lightweight and non-comedogenic. The formula includes balancing probiotics to help keep skin calm and healthy-looking.

Are Sun Glaze Illuminating Bronzing Drops suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Sun Glaze is formulated with gentle, skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and probiotics, making it suitable for sensitive skin. The lightweight serum texture blends easily without clogging pores or causing irritation. As with any new skincare, we recommend doing a patch test first, especially if your skin is reactive.

What is aftersun and how does it work?

Aftersun is a soothing skincare product designed to be used after sun exposure. It helps to cool, calm, and rehydrate your skin, especially if it's feeling hot, tight, or sunburned. Sun Soothe works by using natural ingredients like aloe vera and menthol to relieve discomfort, while calendula extract, bisabolol, and vitamin E reduce inflammation and support skin repair. It also locks in moisture to prevent peeling and prolong your tan.

How often should I apply aftersun?

Apply Sun Soothe as often as needed, especially after being in the sun, showering, or when skin feels tight or warm. Reapply to soothe any ongoing redness or dryness.

Can I use aftersun even if I didn’t get sunburnt?

Absolutely. Aftersun isn’t just for sunburn. Using Sun Soothe after any sun exposure helps rebalance moisture, cool skin, and support skin barrier health, even if there’s no visible sun damage.

Does aftersun help you tan?

While aftersun doesn’t increase tanning, hydrating and nourishing the skin with Sun Soothe Cooling Aftersun Lotion can help prolong the life of your tan by preventing dryness and peeling.

Is Sun Soothe Cooling Aftersun Lotion suitable for children or sensitive skin?

Yes, Sun Soothe is made with 100% natural, soothing ingredients like aloe vera, calendula, and bisabolol, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive or young skin. Always patch test first on very delicate 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.

Can I use Sun Stick on my face?

Yes, it’s perfect for your face, especially areas prone to sunburn like the nose, lips, and eyelids. It’s invisible, non-greasy, and gentle enough for sensitive and reactive skin.

Is Sun Stick safe for babies and children?

Yes, it’s suitable for babies aged 3 months+, making it an ideal choice for protecting delicate skin while out and about.

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.

Does Sun Stick leave a white cast?

No. The formula is invisible on all skin tones, and blends easily without any chalkiness.

Is it fragrance-free?

Yes, it’s completely unscented and free from essential oils, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

How often should I reapply Sun Stick?

We recommend reapplying every 2 hours, or more frequently if swimming or sweating – especially on high-exposure areas like the face and shoulders.

Is the packaging recyclable?

Yes, the Sun Stick packaging is recyclable. As part of our Infinite Purpose, we’re committed to reducing waste at every step.

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.
