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
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.Delivery & Returns

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.
