Cancer Council Sensitive Sunscreen SPF50+ 110ml — Fragrance-Free Broad-Spectrum Lotion for Sensitive Skin

Cancer Council Sensitive Sunscreen SPF50+ 110 ml is a fragrance-free, dermatologically tested lotion that delivers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection formulated for sensitive skin.

Everyday sun protection should be effective and gentle. This 110 ml tube from Cancer Council combines SPF50+ coverage with 5% zinc oxide, aloe vera and vitamin E to shield skin from sunburn and photo-ageing while providing soothing moisture. It’s been developed and tested for sensitive skin and offers water resistance, making it suitable for regular use across seasons and activities.

How does this sunscreen protect against sun damage?

This product uses chemical and mineral components to provide broad-spectrum SPF50+ protection, which helps reduce the skin’s exposure to harmful UVA and UVB radiation. The inclusion of 5% zinc oxide enhances physical barrier properties and contributes to soothing after application.

• Broad-spectrum SPF50+ filters both UVA and UVB rays.
• Contains 5% zinc oxide to support a physical sun-blocking effect.
• Formulated to help reduce the risk of sunburn and visible photo-ageing signs.
• Designed for daily application to maintain protection.

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

The formula is fragrance-free and dermatologically tested to minimise irritation, making it a better choice for those with sensitive skin compared with scented products. Aloe vera and vitamin E are added for moisturising and calming properties, reducing the chance of dryness after application.

• Fragrance-free to lower irritation risk.
• Dermatologically tested for sensitive skin compatibility.
• Aloe vera and vitamin E support hydration and comfort.
• Non-irritating base suitable for everyday use as needed.

How water resistant and practical is the sunscreen for outdoor use?

The lotion has been tested to offer up to four hours of water resistance under conditions specified by testing protocols. Cancer Council advises reapplying every two hours or after towel-drying, swimming, or heavy sweating to maintain reliable protection.

• Tested to 4 hours water resistance for swimming and activities.
• Recommended reapplication every 2 hours for continuous protection.
• Convenient 110 ml tube fits beach bags and everyday kits.
• Suitable for outdoor sports, family outings and daily commutes.

How should I use this sunscreen daily for best results?

Apply liberally to all exposed skin at least 20 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours or after water exposure. Use enough product to ensure the stated SPF—under-application reduces effectiveness—so cover commonly missed areas like ears, neck and the tops of feet.

• Apply 20 minutes before going outdoors for full effect.
• Reapply every 2 hours, or after swimming, towel-drying, or heavy sweating.
• Use a generous amount to achieve SPF50+ protection.
• Store in a cool, dry place and replace if texture or smell changes.

Who is this for? This Cancer Council Sensitive Sunscreen is aimed at people seeking high SPF, daily broad-spectrum protection without fragrances—especially those with sensitive, easily irritated or dry skin. It’s appropriate for families, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone wanting a compact, dermatologist-tested sunscreen for everyday use and recreational water activities.
