Little Urchin Baby Natural Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 50 100g
Little Urchin Baby Natural Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 50 is a mineral sunscreen specially formulated for babies aged 6 months and older. Made with non-nano zinc oxide as its only active sunscreen ingredient, it provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection in a fragrance-free formula designed for delicate skin.
Unlike traditional zinc sunscreens that can leave a thick white coating, Little Urchin's clear zinc formula is designed to spread smoothly and rub in with minimal visible residue. Its 2-hour water resistance makes it a practical choice for family outings, outdoor play and time spent around water.
Mineral Sun Protection for Delicate Baby Skin
Non-nano zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation. Little Urchin combines this mineral sunscreen ingredient with a selection of plant-derived oils, waxes and skin-conditioning ingredients to create a formula that is easy to apply and comfortable to wear.
The formula includes calendula flower extract and vitamin E, alongside jojoba oil, coconut oil and cocoa butter. These ingredients help condition the skin while the sunscreen provides SPF 50 protection.
Fragrance-Free and Made for Sensitive Skin
Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen is made without added fragrance, synthetic preservatives or chemical UV filters. Its vegan formula is designed with delicate baby skin in mind, making it a suitable option for parents who prefer a mineral sunscreen with a straightforward ingredient list.
As with any new skin care product, parents of babies with particularly sensitive or reactive skin may wish to test a small amount before applying it more widely.
Australian Made, Vegan and Water Resistant
Little Urchin is an Australian-owned brand, and this sunscreen is made in Australia. The formula is vegan and not tested on animals, with packaging made from recycled plastic.
With 2-hour water resistance, Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen can be used during outdoor activities and water play. Reapply after swimming, sweating or towel drying, and remember that sunscreen should always be used alongside shade, protective clothing and a suitable hat.

Important: This sunscreen is designed for babies aged 6 months and older. Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight wherever possible. Use shade, protective clothing and a suitable hat as the primary forms of sun protection.
Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Sunscreen is only one part of sun protection, and prolonged sun exposure should be avoided even when wearing sunscreen.
What age is Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen suitable for?
Little Urchin Baby Natural Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 50 is designed for babies aged 6 months and older. For babies under 6 months, keeping them out of direct sunlight and using shade and protective clothing are the preferred sun protection measures. Seek advice from a healthcare professional if sunscreen is needed for a younger baby.
Does Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen leave a white cast?
Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen uses a clear zinc formula designed to spread smoothly and rub in with minimal visible white residue.

Yes. Little Urchin Baby Natural Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 50 is water resistant for up to 2 hours. Reapply after swimming, sweating or towel drying, even if less than 2 hours have passed. Water resistance does not mean that sunscreen provides uninterrupted protection throughout the day.
Is Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?
Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen is formulated for delicate baby skin and contains no added fragrance or synthetic preservatives. It uses non-nano zinc oxide as its only active sunscreen ingredient and includes calendula and vitamin E. Individual skin reactions can still occur, so test a small amount first if your baby has particularly sensitive or reactive skin.
Does Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen contain chemical UV filters?
No. Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen uses non-nano zinc oxide as its only active sunscreen ingredient. It is a mineral sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection without organic chemical UV filters. The formula is also vegan and contains no added fragrance.
How often should I reapply Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen?
Apply sunscreen liberally 20 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 1–2 hours, following Little Urchin's directions. Reapply more frequently when perspiring and always after swimming or towel drying. Continue using shade, protective clothing and a suitable hat, particularly during periods of high UV exposure.
Can adults use Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen?
Yes. Although specifically formulated for babies aged 6 months and older, Little Urchin Baby Sunscreen can also be used by older children and adults who prefer a fragrance-free mineral sunscreen. Its SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection, clear zinc formula and 2-hour water resistance make it suitable for everyday family sun protection.
