Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50: High Protection Without Breakouts

Acne-prone skin needs sun protection more than any other type, especially if you’re using treatments that increase sensitivity. But many sunscreens clog pores, feel heavy or trigger new breakouts. Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50 solves that problem. With 25% non-nano zinc oxide and a non-comedogenic base infused with organic tea tree oil, it delivers high, broad-spectrum protection that won’t suffocate skin. It rubs in clear, feels lightweight, and helps soothe irritated, breakout-prone areas. Protection, not congestion, so you don’t have to choose between clear skin and safe skin.

Why it's the Smart Sunscreen for Acne & Sensitive Skin 

SPF 50 PA++++ – High protection for breakout-prone, photosensitive skin

Non-Comedogenic Sunscreen – Tested not to clog pores or worsen acne

25% Non-Nano Zinc Oxide – Mineral shield with natural calming properties

Organic Tea Tree Oil – Helps soothe blemish-prone areas

Lightweight, Non-Greasy Texture – Comfortable for oily/combination skin

80-Minute Water Resistance – Ideal for active and sporty skin

Fragrance-Free & Paraben-Free – Minimises irritation triggers

Suitable for Sensitive & Reactive Skin – No harsh chemical filters

Reef Safe, Vegan & Organic – Clean formulation you can feel good about

Made in Australia – High-standard sun formulation

Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50 is ideal if you’re using:

Prescription retinoids (e.g. tretinoin), Over-the-counter retinol or retinal, AHAs/BHAs (glycolic acid, salicylic acid), Benzoyl peroxide, Azelaic acid or niacinamide serums.

These active ingredients make skin more sun-sensitive, meaning unprotected exposure can lead to burns, irritation and worsening hyperpigmentation. This mineral formula creates a calm, protective envelope over skin so your treatments can work without interference from UV damage.

Because it’s non-comedogenic, fragrance-free and mineral-only, it’s far less likely to sting, burn or trigger flare-ups on compromised skin barriers. It also helps protect post-spot marks from darkening, which is key when you’re trying to fade old pigmentation.

Why Acne-Prone Skin Needs SPF 

If you’re battling breakouts, sun cream can feel like the enemy, many formulas feel heavy, clog pores and leave you shinier than before. But skipping SPF makes things worse. UV exposure on inflamed skin can:

  • Deepen post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation
  • Slow healing and increase redness
  • Increase risk of scarring
  • Dry the surface while increasing oil production underneath

If you use retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, AHAs/BHAs or prescription acne treatments, your skin is even more vulnerable to UV damage.

Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50 is designed so that you no longer have to choose between clear skin and protection. The lightweight, oil-balanced base and non-comedogenic formula are specifically created for acne-prone and sensitive skin, so you can wear it daily without worrying about new congestion.

Zinc Oxide & Tea Tree: Our Unbeatable Duo for Breakout Skin 

Zinc oxide isn’t just a UV filter, it’s naturally soothing and mildly antimicrobial, which makes it a smart choice for acne-prone complexions. It forms a protective, breathable layer on top of skin that:

  • Shields against further irritation from UV, wind and pollution
  • Helps calm visible redness associated with breakouts
  • Reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks)

We’ve paired this with organic tea tree oil, a botanical known for its purifying, clarifying properties. At carefully balanced concentrations, tea tree can:

  • Help reduce the appearance of active blemishes
  • Support a clearer-looking complexion over time
  • Provide a fresh, “clean” feel without harsh alcohols

The result is a sunscreen that not only protects but also respects breakout-prone and sensitive skin. The supporting base includes hydrating, barrier-friendly ingredients (glycerol, sunflower oil, sodium hyaluronate) designed to keep skin comfortable, not stripped, crucial for long-term barrier health and calmer skin.
