Little Urchin FACE Natural Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 50+ 50g
Little Urchin FACE Natural Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 50+ combines high-level mineral sun protection with skin-conditioning ingredients in a lightweight formula designed for everyday facial use. Made with non-nano zinc oxide, it provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection while rubbing in clear for a natural-looking finish.
Enriched with natural ceramides, pink algae extract, jojoba oil and vitamin E, this vegan facial sunscreen helps maintain skin hydration and support the skin's moisture barrier. Its fragrance-free formula is suitable for sensitive skin and can be worn on its own or underneath makeup.
SPF 50+ Mineral Protection Without a Heavy White Finish
Non-nano zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum SPF 50+ protection against UVA and UVB radiation. Little Urchin's clear zinc formula is designed to spread smoothly and rub into the skin without leaving the thick, visible white coating often associated with traditional zinc sunscreens.
The lightweight texture makes it a practical choice for everyday facial sun protection, particularly for those who prefer an untinted sunscreen that can be incorporated into their existing skin care and makeup routine.
Natural Ceramides and Pink Algae for Skin Hydration
Little Urchin FACE Sunscreen brings together mineral sun protection and a selection of skin-conditioning ingredients to help keep skin feeling comfortable and hydrated.
- Natural Ceramides: Help support the skin's moisture barrier and retain hydration.
- Pink Algae Extract: A marine-derived antioxidant ingredient that helps condition the skin and support its appearance.
- Jojoba Oil: Helps soften and condition the skin for a smooth, comfortable finish.
- Vitamin E: Provides antioxidant benefits and helps maintain skin condition.
These ingredients make Little Urchin FACE Sunscreen a convenient addition to a simple morning skin care routine, combining daily sun protection with moisturising and skin-conditioning benefits.
Vegan, Fragrance-Free and Suitable for Sensitive Skin
Little Urchin FACE Natural Clear Zinc Sunscreen is vegan, fragrance-free and preservative-free. Its mineral sunscreen formula contains no organic chemical UV filters and is designed to be suitable for sensitive skin.
The untinted formula rubs in clear, making it suitable for a wide range of skin tones without adding colour to the complexion. Wear it alone for a natural finish or apply it before makeup as part of your morning routine.
