A natural sun cream made for active kids

Kids don't sit still. They run, jump, swim, sweat, and forget sun cream exists after you've applied it. That's why we formulated Pure Zinc Kids SPF 50 with real childhood in mind. Maximum protection for them and maximum peace of mind for you.

Protect your children with Australia's best

Children's skin is more vulnerable to UV damage than adult skin. Their melanin production is still developing, skin is thinner, and cells divide faster—making them more susceptible to DNA damage from UV exposure. The sun damage accumulated during childhood significantly impacts lifelong skin cancer risk.
SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays, compared to SPF 30's 97%. While this seems minimal, for children spending hours outdoors daily, that extra protection compounds over time. Combined with broad-spectrum UVA protection (PA++++), SPF 50 provides the maximum defence young skin needs during peak exposure years

Why go no-nano?

"Non-nano" refers to particle size. Nano particles (<100 nanometers) can potentially penetrate skin, raising questions about absorption and long-term effects—especially concerning for children's developing bodies.
Non-nano zinc oxide particles (>100nm) are too large to penetrate the skin barrier. They sit on the surface, physically reflecting UV rays away like millions of tiny mirrors. This means:
• Zero systemic absorption—doesn't enter bloodstream
• Safe for all ages, including babies from 6 months
• Environmentally safe—particles don't enter marine ecosystems
• Naturally hypoallergenic and anti-inflammatory
• No chemical breakdown or hormone disruption concerns
For children, non-nano mineral protection is the safest, most thoroughly studied sun protection method. It's what dermatologists and pediatricians recommend for young skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50 for kids?

    SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays; SPF 50 blocks 98%. While seemingly minor, for children outdoors for hours daily, this extra protection is significant. SPF 50 also provides a safety buffer for imperfect application or missed reapplication.

  • Will this sting my child's eyes if they're sweating?

    No. Mineral zinc oxide doesn't sting eyes like chemical sunscreens can. If any product gets in eyes, it may cause temporary discomfort (like any cream), but won't burn. Rinse with water if needed.

  • Can I use this on my toddler's face?

    Absolutely! Safe from 6 months onwards for both face and body. The lightweight formula won't irritate delicate facial skin.

  • Is it really water-resistant for 80 minutes?

    Yes, it maintains SPF 50 protection for 80 minutes of continuous water immersion, tested to Australian standards. However, we still recommend reapplying immediately after swimming for maximum protection, and always reapply every 2 hours.

  • My child has eczema, is this safe?

    Yes. Fragrance-free, paraben-free, and mineral-only formula is ideal for eczema-prone skin. Zinc oxide is naturally anti-inflammatory. Always patch test first for severe eczema.

  • Will this cause breakouts on my pre-teen?

    No. It's non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and lightweight. Many teens use this daily without breakouts. For specific acne concerns, see our Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50.
