Benefits
Chemical sunscreens are often thought of as bad for skin and bad for the environment, but not ours. Using filters that are independently tested and deemed super safe for both, we’ve whisked them with mineral filters to bounce those harmful UV rays back into the atmosphere and created a sun lotion that’ll keep you protected from top to toe. A light lotion with a creamy vanilla ice cream scent, your limbs will be treated to a glug of hyaluronic acid at the same time – perfect if you’re spending time in the sun, which is notorious for drying skin out. Also great for fighting free radical damage like pollution and metal toxins using green algae extract, it’s a must for city dwellers and outdoor exercisers too.

How to use
How to use
Cover your whole body thoroughly, rubbing it in and ensuring you catch all areas of skin – don’t forget the back of your neck, your ears and your feet. Reapply every two hours and if you’re going anywhere near water, apply it again as soon as you’re dry.

I have always adored Tropic products for their beautiful formulas and noticeable results, but since they launched their new sun care products in particular... I’m OBSESSED. The range feels luxurious to use, smells great, protects me perfectly and I love that the range is ocean safe too - good for me and good for the planet. My fave!
