MooGoo Natural Sunscreen SPF30

Developing a sunscreen with broad spectrum sun protection using only Zinc, without being too greasy is very complicated. The cream needs to be stable, provide a good reflective film, be naturally preserved etc. MooGoo use Zinc because it’s naturally derived, even if it makes the cream a bit thicker and a little harder to apply. Zinc Oxide acts like a reflective umbrella on the skin, reflecting UV rays away. It’s also suitable for all ages, from babies to adults, and even newborns. And also all skin types, even for the most sensitive.

This sunscreen suits people that are sensitive to sunscreen with UV filters, and want a Zinc-based sunscreen that is not greasy. It’s also for people who like to know what’s in their sunscreen.

Directions

Apply generously to all areas of the skin and allow to dry before sun exposure. Reapply as required, especially after swimming, toweling or exercise. Here’s the secret to using Zinc-based sunscreen. Don’t rush! First, it will be white. Allow 30 seconds for it to warm to body temperature and then rub it in clear. Avoid contact with eyes, wear cool sunnies instead. Also, wear protective clothing and avoid prolonged sun exposure. As with all products, patch test to check for allergies before use.

Zinc is very complicated to formulate with as Zinc naturally "clumps", so ingredients have to be used to make sure this doesn’t happen and it’s able to be spread evenly. So although we typically like to avoid using anything that we struggle to pronounce, this moisturiser and binder was by far the best way to keep the cream moist, preserved and free from bacteria – 1,2-Hexanediol (Moisturiser), Caprylyl Glycol (Skin Conditioner), Tropolone (Skin Soother), Cetyl Phosphate (Emulsifier), Sodium Chloride (Salt), Oleic Acid (Emulsifier).
