MOTHER SPF Tinted Base SPF 50 50g
Enjoy daily sun protection with a natural-looking finish using MOTHER SPF Tinted Base SPF 50. This lightweight mineral facial sunscreen combines broad spectrum SPF 50 protection with hydrating skin care ingredients and a sheer tint that complements your natural complexion.
Formulated with 25.5% non-nano zinc oxide, the cream provides high-level UVA and UVB protection while helping minimise the white cast often associated with mineral sunscreens. Its flexible tint blends into the skin without providing heavy coverage, making it a practical choice for those who prefer a natural finish rather than a foundation-like appearance.
With a non-greasy texture and a blend of moisturising ingredients, MOTHER SPF Tinted Base can be incorporated into your morning skin care routine or worn underneath makeup.
Mineral SPF 50 Protection with a Sheer Tint
Zinc oxide is the sole sunscreen active in this formula, providing broad spectrum SPF 50 protection. The addition of iron oxides gives the cream its subtle tint, helping to reduce the visible white cast of zinc oxide while creating a soft, natural-looking finish.
Unlike a tinted foundation or BB cream designed to provide noticeable coverage, MOTHER SPF Tinted Base is intended to blend with your complexion rather than conceal it. You can wear it alone for a natural look or apply your preferred makeup over the top.
Hydrating Ingredients for Everyday Skin Care
MOTHER SPF Tinted Base combines mineral sun protection with ingredients commonly found in facial moisturisers and skin care products.
Niacinamide, glycerin, jojoba oil and aloe vera are included in the formula, alongside upcycled apple extract sourced from organic apples grown in France. Together, these ingredients contribute to the cream's hydrating properties, comfortable texture and smooth finish.
The formula contains 99.15% naturally derived ingredients and is designed to provide a moisturising base for everyday wear. Depending on your skin's needs, it may also be used in place of your usual morning moisturiser.
A Natural Finish for Your Morning Routine
MOTHER SPF Tinted Base is designed for those who prefer a lightweight facial sunscreen that works comfortably alongside their everyday skin care and makeup products.
Apply it after your usual morning skin care routine, allowing the formula to settle before adding concealer, foundation or other makeup if desired. The sheer tint provides a subtle complexion-enhancing finish without the heavier appearance of traditional tinted makeup.
Suitable for all skin types, the formula is vegan, cruelty-free and made in Australia.
Important Sun Protection Information
MOTHER SPF Tinted Base SPF 50 is not water resistant. For swimming, water activities or extended outdoor exposure, choose a suitable water-resistant sunscreen and follow its application and reapplication directions.
Always apply sunscreen generously and evenly before sun exposure. Reapply regularly, particularly after sweating, swimming or towelling. Sunscreen is only one part of sun protection, so remember to wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses, and seek shade where possible.
Apply generously and evenly to clean, dry skin as the final step in your morning skin care routine, before makeup.
Dispense the cream onto your fingertips and warm gently between your fingers before applying to your face. Blend evenly, taking care to achieve consistent coverage. Allow the product to settle before applying additional makeup if desired.
Apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours, or more frequently after sweating or towelling.
Important: This product is not water resistant. For swimming, water activities or extended sun exposure, choose a suitable water-resistant sunscreen.
Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
Always combine sunscreen with other sun protection measures, including protective clothing, a hat, sunglasses and shade.
Does MOTHER SPF Tinted Base provide full foundation coverage?

Can I use MOTHER SPF Tinted Base instead of moisturiser?
Yes. The formula contains hydrating ingredients including glycerin, jojoba oil, aloe vera and niacinamide. Depending on your skin's needs, you may find it provides sufficient moisture to replace your usual morning moisturiser. If you prefer additional hydration, apply your moisturiser first and allow it to absorb before applying sunscreen.

Is MOTHER SPF Tinted Base suitable for sensitive skin?

This Australian brand has a premium zinc sunscreen for the face that we know you will love. If you have given up on using a natural sunscreen on the face, we urge you to try again with this one, either on its own or with the addition of the Mother Of Pearl bronzer.
