  • Description

    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.

    Key Actives

    Zinc Oxide: provides physical broad spectrum sun protection without the skin irritation or hormone disruption found in chemical sunscreens. Camellia Seed Oil: a light-weight phyto active oil abundant in fatty acids to calm and hydrate skin.
    Vitamin E: potent antioxidant, assisting with the reduction of redness and oxidative stress within the skin.

    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. If you are interested in the dangers of chemical sunscreens, read here.

  • Botanical Actives

    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.

Love This!

Really happy with this beautiful sunscreen! It is not oily and doesn't leave a white streak over my skin. This summer is super hot and I needed this nearly every day as I am outdoors alot. A tiny bit is sufficient. The sunscreen is creamy and has a faint scent and glides over the skin beautifully and effortlessly. Most of all, I have peace of mind in knowing it is non-toxic and safe for my skin so it just feels great to be using this to protect myself. It is highly recommended and I will be buying more!

Questions & answers

Ask a question
  • 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.
