Browse trusted formulas including mineral sunscreens, chemical sunscreens, tinted options and body sunscreens suitable for all skin types and tones.

Shop Sunscreen for Daily UV Protection 


A sunscreen is one of the most important steps in your skincare routine. UV exposure can contribute to collagen breakdown, uneven skin tone and premature ageing. Wearing SPF daily may help reduce these concerns and maintain healthier-looking skin over time. When choosing sun protection, look for broad-spectrum formulas that guard against both UVA and UVB rays. SPF 30 is the recommended minimum for everyday wear, whilst sunscreen SPF 50+ offers higher protection for extended outdoor exposure or sensitive skin.
There are two main types of sun care formulas.
  • Physical mineral sunscreen creates a protective barrier on the skin's surface using zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to reflect UV rays. These formulas work well for sensitive or reactive skin types.
  • Chemical sunscreen absorbs into the skin, converting UV rays into heat before damage occurs. Many modern formulas combine both approaches for reliable, lightweight protection.


Find Your SPF 50+ Sunscreen for Face and Body


Sunscreen 50+ can provide over 98% protection against UVB rays, making it suitable for daily wear and prolonged sun exposure. Higher SPF ratings offer minimal additional protection beyond SPF 50, so focus on correct application and regular reapplication every two hours when outdoors, swimming or sweating.
For facial sun protection, lightweight textures work well under makeup.Options like Ultra Violette Clean Screen SPF 30 Mattifying Mineral Skinscreen offer a matte finish that sits comfortably on oily or combination skin without feeling heavy. If you prefer sheer coverage with built-in SPF, tinted sunscreen formulas can help even out skin tone. Body sunscreen often comes in larger formats for easy application across wider surface areas. Body formulas typically layer well under clothing.Products like Ultra Violette Clean Screen SPF30 blend seamlessly without leaving residue.

Explore Sunblock and UV Protection Options


Sunblock formulas can help provide physical barrier protection against UV rays. Sunscreen can anti-ageing help prevent collagen breakdown and premature ageing. These mineral-based options suit those seeking clean beauty products or formulas with fewer synthetic ingredients.
When selecting your ideal SPF UV protection, consider your specific skin concerns and daily routine:
  • For oily or acne-prone skin - choose non-comedogenic formulas with matte finishes that won't clog pores or create unwanted shine
  • For dry or mature skin - look for hydrating sunscreens with added moisturising ingredients to support the skin barrier throughout the day
  • For sensitive or reactive skin - stick to physical mineral sunscreen formulas with gentle, reef-safe ingredients like zinc oxide
  • For active lifestyles - water-resistant formulas maintain protection during swimming or sweating, though reapplication remains important

Remember that proper application matters as much as SPF rating. Most people don't apply enough product to achieve the stated protection level. Reapply every two hours, and sooner if swimming or sweating.

How should I choose my sunscreen?

Consider your skin type and daily needs when selecting sun protection. Pick a non-comedogenic sunscreen with a matte finish for oily or acne-prone skin. If you have dry skin, opt for hydrating formulas with moisturising ingredients. Sensitive skin benefits from physical mineral sunscreen with gentle ingredients like zinc oxide. Look for broad-spectrum protection to safeguard against both UVA and UVB rays, and choose SPF 30 or higher for reliable coverage. If you are unsure of what sunscreen you should use, we recommend speaking to a professional.

Should I wear sunscreen every day?

Yes, sunscreen should be part of your daily skincare routine, regardless of the weather. UV rays are present even on cloudy days and can penetrate glass windows. Daily application helps prevent long-term damage to your skin. Apply sunscreen as the final step in your routine before makeup, or use multitasking options like tinted sunscreen for added convenience. You should also reapply sunscreen every 2 hours and after you have been swimming, exercising or have been excessively sweating.

What is the highest recommended SPF?

SPF 50+ is the highest recommended for daily use, offering approxiametly 98% protection against UVB rays if applied correctly. Whilst SPF ratings higher than 50 exist, they provide minimal additional protection. The most important factors for maximum effectiveness are applying the correct amount and reapplying every two hours when outdoors swimming or if you experience excessive sweating.

What sunscreen works best for deeper skin tones?

Everyone needs to use a minimum of SPF 30 daily, regardless of skin tone. For those with deeper complexions who may have previously experienced white cast from traditional mineral formulas, hybrid or chemical sunscreen options work particularly well. Formulas like Ultra Violette Clean Screen SPF30 and Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF 50+ Luminising Sun Serum all blend seamlessly on deeper skin tones without leaving residue.
