Meet the sunscreen of your dreams...
Bask in the beauty of our pure, ocean-friendly sunscreen formula providing broad spectrum SPF50 UVA/UVB protection with zinc oxide. This moisturising, age-defying sunscreen effortlessly glides onto the skin easily and is enriched with Vitamin E and Rosehip Oil to nourish the skin and provide a hydration boost. Basking Beauty is the ultimate plant-based, botanical and luxurious sunscreen.
Pure SPF50 Protection. Our broad spectrum 100% natural zinc formula provides SPF50 sun protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Beautifying. More than just a sunscreen, Basking Beauty unleashes a wave of hydrating and collagen supporting actions with botanical actives Kakadu Plum, Vitamin E and beta carotene, so it doubles as a beautifying and anti-ageing face moisturiser or body lotion.
Multi-Purpose. Basking Beauty is suitable for the whole family, including newborns. It can be applied to both body and face.
Blendable Formula. This natural emulsion blends into the skin, without leaving a thick white cast. Basking Beauty is designed to slip effortlessly into the rest of your beauty routine. Rub in well so your skin absorbs it for best results.
If you are used to using conventional chemical formulas, you may notice this natural sunscreen differs as it does rely on creating a physical barrier on top of the skin to protect you from UV rays. As a result it takes a little more time to massage into the skin, however, we believe doing this is well worth the benefits of non-toxic sun protection. We recommend you read the FAQ at the bottom of the page if you want further information on Basking Beauty Natural Sunscreen. If you are interested in the dangers of chemical sunscreens, read here.

Beauty Benefits
Ultra-hydrated and nourished skin with SPF50 protection. Anti-ageing actions through collagen-supporting ingredients.
Zinc Oxide is a natural, physical sunscreen which creates a layer on top of skin that blocks ultraviolet rays like UVA1, UVA2 and UVB. It is stable in chlorine and will not degrade to cause harmful free radicals, skin irritation or hormone disruption. This is as opposed to chemical SPFs which absorb them before they can cause any harm. Zinc Oxide helps to keep moisture locked into the skin.
Camellia Seed Oil provides exceptional hydration and absorption without greasiness. It is abundant in vitamins C, D, and E along with Omega 6 and 9 and anti-ageing polyphenols, which provide deep nourishment to your skin, youth-preserving actions and a velvety smooth finish.
Vitamin E One of the key antioxidants when it comes to sun protection, Vitamin E works to neutralise free radicals caused by exposure to UV light and other collagen-damaging molecules. It also assists in absorbing UVB light, the spectrum of sunlight that’s responsible for burning and ageing skin.
Kakadu Plum Extract Kakadu Plum is native to Australia and known for being the highest plant-based source of Vitamin C. This makes this wild-harvested botanical exceptional for boosting collagen production, combating free radical damage and providing photoprotection from UV A and B damaging light.
Rosehip Seed Oil Rosehip Seed Oil is one of the richest plant-based sources of beta-carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A and our skin’s natural battalion when it comes to fighting the signs of ageing. Considered a cellular regenerative oil, Rosehip is known for its ability to enhance skin repair and reduce inflammation.
Application
Apply evenly onto the skin as the last step in your skincare routine 20 minutes prior to sun exposure. Use a small amount of the cream and rub in well. Re-apply every 90 minutes and at regular intervals especially after swimming, exercise or towel drying. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and contact with eyes. Suitable for face and body. Also suitable for children and babies. *Note makeup can be used on top of this sunscreen if desired.

I ordered this product to add to my daily skincare routine and had expected some white cast but to my surprise there was none. Very happy with the product!
This sunscreen is amazing! It smells great and leaves no white streaks. It is a little oily but I don’t mind as it gives my dry skin a healthy glow and stays put during swimming or playing sports.
I have just started recently to use Edible Beauty Sunscreen. I love the scent and texture. It works really well under my daily skin care and makeup.
I have tried multiple organic sunscreen products and this one is by far the best I have ever tried.
I will not use any other sunscreen. I must say that the new formula is better and not as shiny and rubs in easier. It looks good under makeup and really protects you from the sun without causing any breakouts. No offensive smell either. Honestly, I cannot live without this sunscreen!
I love this sunscreen, regardless of the finish!
Some light setting powder over it takes away any shine you may have left.. it has not contributed to any breakouts like other sunscreens I've used (I feel like I've used them all)
It's so hard to find a sunscreen that fits you as a breakout prone/combination skin type!
It also sits well on top of skincare and under makeup!
Would repurchase 💯💯💯💯💯

Will this disrupt any makeup/foundation throughout the day? Is this suitable for oil skin types? When including this in my regular routine, what would be the order in which I'd need to use it? I use nothing but Edible Beauty products for my day/night routine.
It is best to complete your skincare routine, apply makeup and then follow with sunscreen as the last step in your beauty routine.
Basking Beauty Natural Sunscreen blends into your skin so it won’t leave a white residue. Suitable for all skin types.
Does this have an expiration date? If so, what is it?
The expiry date is printed on the product-October 2022.
Do you use nano-particles in your sunscreen?
We have chosen the highest quality zinc oxide that we have been able to source for our sunscreen. We use microfine or micronised particles in our sunscreen. Microfine particles are smaller than those used in conventional white zinc sunscreens, however are larger than nano-particles- usually in the range of 100 to 2500 nanometres. Note that nano particles are smaller than 100 nanometres. We do not use nano particles in the sunscreen.
What percentage of zinc oxide does this have?
The percentage of the zinc is 22.7%.
Can you use the basking beauty sunscreen under makeup? Thank you.
Yes definitely! Mineral makeup used over the sunscreen is fantastic for creating a matt finish.
It will not impact the performance of the sunscreen.
Is this to be used in conjunction with moisturizer or in place of? Asking for my oily skin folks...
We recommend that you continue to use a moisturiser prior to your sunscreen application. This gives your skin the optimal nourishment, hydration and antioxidant boost required on a daily basis. For oily skin, the Soothing Nectar - Hydrating Gel is the perfect choice as it contains oil balancing botanicals. Wait for a minute for this to dry before applying the Basking Beauty Sunscreen.
Can this be used on toddlers?
Yes definitely - it is suitable for babies and children
Does it protect from Blue Light?
The sunscreen can definitely help with blue light due to the zinc oxide which provides "physical" protection against UV and HEV rays.
The other product I recommend is our Glowing Skin Smoothe Serum as that works as an "anti-pollution" product providing a high level of antioxidants to combat free radical damage from blue light.
My sunscreen tube seems to have a lot of air?
This is normal! Do not worry, the volume of sunscreen in the tube is 100 grams. The extra air in the tube is deliberate and is required to squeeze/emulsify the formula which can sometimes separate.
Is this sunscreen TGA approved?
Yes, our Basking Beauty SPF50 Sunscreen is TGA approved!!! You can find the number on the bottom of the tube.
