Benefits

• Aqua (H2O's Fancy Name): An easier way to make a natural sunscreen is to mix Zinc in with Oils. But we wanted something that went on cool like a moisturiser, and wasn't oily. So it took a lot of time (3 years) to make a natural sunscreen with water in it like a moistursier.
• Zinc Oxide (For Sun Protection): Sits on the surface of the skin and reflects and scatters UV A and UV B radiation like a mirror. It rubs in clear as the zinc contains holes that make it see through.
• Coco Caprylate (Coconut-Based Conditioner): A light coconut based emollient (moisturiser)
• Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil: A non clogging moisturizing oil.
• Sorbitan Olivate (Olive-Based Emulsifier): We needed a number of different emulsifiers to make sure the Zinc disperses properly in the cream. If the Zinc clumps, then the SPF would not be as high and consistent. Although the ingredients have complicated names, they are all “natural”. That is that they are all plant derived.
• Glycerin (Sugar Alcohol): Glycerin is a humecant (attracts water) that is used in many moisturisers. We generally do not use Glycerin, but needed to in our sunscreen because Zinc can also absorb water.
• Lecithin (Soy): We needed a number of different emulsifiers to make sure the Zinc disperses properly in the cream. If the Zinc clumps, then the SPF would not be as high and consistent. Although the ingredients have complicated names, they are all “natural”. That is that they are all plant derived.
• Cera Alba (Beeswax): Helps keep the cream thick and stable enough to ensure Zinc stays dispersed.
• Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxyystearate (Emulsifier): We needed a number of different emulsifiers to make sure the Zinc disperses properly in the cream. If the Zinc clumps, then the SPF would not be as high and consistent. Although the ingredients have complicated names, they are all “natural”. That is that they are all plant derived.
• Galactoarabinan (Emulsifier): Moisturising polysaccharide from Larch trees. Also supports SPF through ensuring zinc is dispersed evenly.
• Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate (Emulsifier): We needed a number of different emulsifiers to make sure the Zinc disperses properly in the cream. If the Zinc clumps, then the SPF would not be as high and consistent. Although the ingredients have complicated names, they are all “natural”. That is that they are all plant derived.
• Polyhydroxystearic Acid (Emulsifier): We needed a number of different emulsifiers to make sure the Zinc disperses properly in the cream. If the Zinc clumps, then the SPF would not be as high and consistent. Although the ingredients have complicated names, they are all “natural”. That is that they are all plant derived.
• 1,2-Hexanediol (Moisturiser): Zinc is very complicated to formulate as Zinc naturally
• Caprylyl Glycol (Skin Conditioner): This ingredient also helps dissolve the Zinc allowing it to form a good film to protect the skin.
• Tropolone (Skin Soother): This is an organic plant derived compound used as a skin soother.
• Cetyl Phosphate (Emulsifier): We needed a number of different emulsifiers to make sure the Zinc disperses properly in the cream. If the Zinc clumps, then the SPF would not be as high and consistent. Although the ingredients have complicated names, they are all “natural”. That is that they are all plant derived.
• Sodium Chloride (Salt): Helps keep the cream stable.
• Oleic Acid (Emulsifier): We needed a number of different emulsifiers to make sure the Zinc disperses properly in the cream. If the Zinc clumps, then the SPF would not be as high and consistent. Although the ingredients have complicated names, they are all “natural”. That is that they are all plant derived.
