Packaged in USDA certified biobased sugarcane-derived resin, the tube is TSA-friendly and ideal for trips to the beach, pool, or everyday outdoor activities.

How does this mineral sunscreen protect skin during ocean activities?

Protection comes from non-nano zinc oxide, a physical blocker that shields skin from UVA and UVB rays without relying on chemical filters. Wet Boost Technology increases effectiveness after water exposure, helping the sunscreen hold up through swimming and surf sessions. The formula is also free from ingredients linked to coral damage, meeting common reef-safety standards.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 45 from non-nano zinc oxide
• Water resistant up to 80 minutes with improved post-swim performance
• Formulated without oxybenzone or octinoxate for reef compliance

Will this feel heavy or leave a white cast on my face?

The lotion is formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy, absorbing quickly for everyday wear on face and body. While mineral sunscreens can sometimes leave a tint, this non-nano zinc formula minimizes visible residue compared with older mineral products. It’s also non-comedogenic so it’s less likely to clog pores during daily use.

• Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture suitable for face and body
• Minimized white cast compared to traditional mineral creams
• Non-comedogenic for comfortable daily wear

What skin-friendly ingredients are included and what do they do?

Active zinc oxide provides the physical UV barrier, while a blend of organic botanicals soothes and supports skin health. Ingredients like green tea, turmeric, tulsi, and aloe vera add antioxidant and calming properties without synthetic fragrances. The product avoids parabens and harsh chemicals commonly found in conventional sunscreens.

• Green tea and turmeric for antioxidant support
• Aloe vera and tulsi to moisturize and calm skin
• Free from parabens, synthetic fragrance, and common reef-harming chemicals

How convenient is this tube for travel and everyday use?

The 2.5 oz size is TSA-compliant and designed to fit easily into a beach bag, carry-on, or gym kit. The sugarcane-derived tube reduces petroleum-based plastic and is sturdy enough for repeated use on trips. One application covers face, ears, neck, and exposed body areas for quick reapplication between activities.

• TSA-friendly 2.5 oz travel tube
• USDA certified biobased packaging made from sugarcane resin
• Easy to apply for face, ears, neck, and body touch-ups
