SPF Information
How does SPF rating work? 

A higher SPF rating requires a lot more sunscreen chemicals for diminishing returns. SPF 15 blocks 94% of UV radiation while SPF 40 blocks 97.5%, SPF 15 will provide protection for 4 hours for someone who would normally burn in 15 minutes. SPF 40 provides protection for 8 hours of sun.  The amount of protection, in reality, depends upon both the SPF rating and the thickness or amount which is applied. 

How does sun protection work? 

There are two main types of sunscreens. Firstly, natural sunscreens that use Zinc Oxide as a physical barrier that reflect UVA and UVB away. The second type is "UV Filters" that absorb high energy UV radiation and emit low energy radiation. These are always synthetic, which is why we choose to use Zinc Oxide to provide natural sun protection. 

Isn’t Zinc normally white? 

Yes, Zinc Oxide would normally be white on the skin. We use a special type of Zinc Oxide that is made here in Australia that is dispersed within Jojoba Oil which helps make it clear and non-greasy. The Iron Oxide in our formula gives the cream its tint and also helps it blend in nicely to the skin. It is also responsible for the colour in Australia’s red, fertile soils. 

What are UV filters? 

These are various chemicals that absorb high energy UV radiation and re-emit it as low radiation. These are always synthetic, which is why we choose to use Zinc Oxide to provide natural sun protection. 

What Are UVA and UVB? 

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is part of the electromagnetic (light) spectrum that reaches the earth from the sun. The wavelengths are less than visible light, it is invisible to the naked eye. Ultraviolet A (UVA) is the longer wave UV ray that causes life long skin damage, skin wrinkling, and can cause skin cancer. Ultraviolet B (UVB) is the shorter wave UV ray that causes skin burns and damage, and also skin cancer. 

What is the difference between a SPF 40 and SPF 50? 

We get asked this question all of the time! The difference between a SPF 40 is you block out 97.5% of UVB radiation and SPF 50 blocks 98%. This is a very small difference for the cost of purchasing a SPF 50. More important than using a super high SPF is using enough sunscreen. 

What Is SPF? 

SPF is the abbreviation of Sun Protection Factor – it measures the sunscreen's ability to prevent UVB from damaging your skin. Here's an example of how it works: If it takes 20 minutes for your skin to start turning red, using an SPF 15 sunscreen in all probability should prevent your skin from becoming red 15 times longer – about five hours. We have a very handy and useful guide on our blog here. 

What Does Broad Spectrum Mean? 

Protection from both UVA and UVB rays 

Is your Natural Sunscreen SPF 40 water-resistant? 

This formula is 2 hours water-resistant but make sure to reapply immediately after activity and swimming. 

Are your products reef-friendly? 

Absolutely! Our SPF products are proudly reef friendly as we don’t use any of the synthetic ingredients that are known to damage and harm coral reefs. 

Can I use SunClear on a baby? 

We get this question a lot. If your baby or child is going to be exposed to the sun, apply sunscreen to those small areas of skin not covered by wraps, clothing and a hat.  Babies aged under 6 months have highly absorptive skin and the Australasian College of Dermatologist recommends minimising use of sunscreen. Always test any product first on a small area of your baby or child’s skin for any negative reactions and apply sunscreen to those areas of exposed skin that can’t be covered with hats and clothing.

How to Use
Apply cream generously to all exposed skin 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply regularly and especially after swimming, heavy sweating or toweling. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and wear protective clothing, hats and eyewear. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

For external use only. Keep out of the eyes. Contains sesame seed oil.
