Kawakawa Sunscreen

$16.10

Sunscreen that's safe & good for your skin! If you or your child suffer from eczema, this is definitely the sunscreen we recommend for you.

This version of our popular standard sunscreen has mild insect repelling properties, as well as skin healing properties thanks to the wonders of Kawakawa.

If headed into areas of intense insect activity, we recommend using this in conjunction with our natural insect repellent which we have in both a babysafe version & in an essential oil version. However most people find that this sunscreen on its own is enough insect protection in the garden, at the park, and in other milder insect areas.

This sunscreen uses zinc oxide as well as natural oils that naturally provide a barrier from the suns rays, rather using chemicals which react with your skin and can cross into your tissue.

Zinc oxide is the only recommended safe broad spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA & UVB rays.

All ingredients are 100% natural, and organic where possible. This makes this sunscreen safe to use on babies, people with sensitive skin, and anyone who wants to cut down the amount of harmful toxins in their life!
Comes in a glass jar. Spreads well, so a little goes a long way.

Plus, this sunscreen smells divine, and moisturises well too.

This makes it a fantastic barrier against windburn too. Perfect for use when hiking, or up on the skifields.

Our sunscreen is not overly-whitening. It rubs in pretty well, however a small amount of whitening will always remain with our Regular & Kawakawa Sunscreens (And any other non-nano zinc product). The SPF 50+ sunscreen is 100% clear if this is an important feature for you.

Ingredients: Non-nano zinc oxide, Wild Harvested Kawakawa infused Olive Oil, organic shea butter, organic coconut oil, organic NZ unrefined beeswax & red raspberry seed oil

Make sure to test patch on skin first.
Re-apply every two hours, and after getting out of water.
No need to wait 20 mins before going out into sun.
Staying in the shade is still the most effective method of sun protection for people of all ages.
