Moisturising Sunscreen Gel with SPF 35+ Tube

SPF 35+ blocks approximately 97% of UVB rays, providing very high protection against sunburn. For those mostly staying indoors or with oily skin, SPF 35 is sufficient, though SPF 50 offers slightly more protection for extended sun exposure. The PA++++ rating indicates the highest level of UVA protection (the + symbols indicate level of protection, with ++++ being maximum). This broad-spectrum protection guards against both UVA rays (which cause ageing and deep skin damage) and UVB rays (which cause burning). The mineral-based formula uses Zinc Oxide (Yashad) at 2% - a safe and naturally occurring mineral providing protection against the entire spectrum of UVA and UVB rays. Zinc Oxide is so gentle it's used in nappy rash creams for babies.

This lightweight, broad-spectrum gel formulation doesn't feel sticky and keeps skin breathing whilst protecting against the sun. Spray or gel-based sunscreens are preferred for oily skin and acne-prone skin as they don't clog pores or add heaviness. The gel feels amazing on the skin, blending in clear and leaving a truly invisible finish with no 'white-cast' despite containing mineral UV filters. Key ingredients support this: Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil at 5% repairs sun-damaged skin without greasiness. Cold Pressed Grapeseed Oil at 2% is lightweight and suitable for oily skin. Green Tea Aqueous Extract at 5% provides antioxidant benefits. The formula contains no nano-particles, making it safer for both skin and environment. The 50ml tube is perfect for daily facial use.

Beyond sun protection, this gel provides multiple skincare benefits: Aloe Vera Leaf Juice at 5% moisturises, hydrates, and soothes the skin for a natural glow. Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil at 5% repairs sun-damaged skin and reduces effects of photo-ageing. Cold Pressed Wheatgerm Oil at 2% combats fine lines and wrinkles whilst retaining skin's moisture. Shea Butter at 1% provides deep nourishment. Fumitory (Fumaria officinalis) at 2% has traditional skin benefits. Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) at 2% offers cooling properties. Psoralea (Psoralea corylifolia) Seed Extract at 0.2% is valued in Ayurveda. The combination of mineral protection with plant-based moisturisers creates a multifunctional product - sun protection plus skincare in one lightweight gel.

Rub a generous amount between the palms of your hands first to warm it slightly. Apply on face, neck, and other exposed parts before moving out in sun AND while indoors (as UV rays penetrate windows). Don't skimp on amount - using too little reduces the SPF protection significantly. The Australian TGA recommends at least half a teaspoon for face, neck, and ears. Reapply every 2-3 hours for continued protection, or more frequently if swimming, perspiring, or towel drying. It's crucial to reapply - no sunscreen lasts all day regardless of SPF. Apply 15-20 minutes before sun exposure for best adhesion. The non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, making reapplication pleasant rather than a chore.

Perform a patch test by applying it on the back of your hand before use to check for any allergic reactions or skin sensitivity. Avoid contact with eyes - if contact occurs, rinse with water immediately. The formula suits oily and combination skin particularly well due to its gel texture and non-greasy finish. It's also suitable for sensitive skin as Zinc Oxide can be used on delicate skin. However, the formula contains wheatgerm oil, so those with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance should exercise caution (though topical gluten sensitivity is rare). The natural preservative blend of herbs and essential oils ensures safety without harsh chemicals. Store in a cool place away from direct heat. The formula guards against sun damage whilst being suitable for daily use on all skin types.
