Mineral Sunblock 2 oz - Non Nano Zinc Oxide, Water Resistant by Sundazed

Our Sundazed Sunblock uses non-nano zinc oxide to provide broad-spectrum mineral protection. As a handcrafted, organic product, it is not labeled with a specific SPF number, which is common for formulations like ours that prioritize pure, skin-nourishing ingredients over synthetic additives. We recommend using it alongside sun-smart habits like seeking shade and wearing protective clothing.

Yes, our sunblock is ocean safe. It uses non-nano zinc oxide as the active mineral ingredient and is free from artificial fragrances, deodorizers, bleaches, and fillers that can harm marine life. This formulation avoids common reef-damaging chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate.

As a mineral blocker with non-nano zinc oxide, it can leave a slight tint, but our creamy, moisturizing formula with shea and mango butters is designed to blend more easily than many pastes. The final result depends on your skin tone, so we always recommend testing a small amount first to see how it works for you.

Duration depends heavily on how much and how often you apply it. For face-only application, a 2 oz tube may last several weeks with regular use, but remember you need to reapply every 2 hours and after water sports or sweating, which will use the product faster. For full-body use, you will go through a tube much more quickly.

Our formula is mineral-based and free from artificial fragrances, making it gentle for many. However, it does contain lavender essential oil, which some sensitive individuals may react to. We advise a patch test for everyone and recommend consulting a pediatrician before using on babies, as it is formulated "for all bodies" but individual allergies vary.

Our sunblock is water resistant, but it is not waterproof. For optimal protection, you should reapply immediately after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying. We recommend following the standard guidance of reapplying at least every 2 hours during extended sun exposure, regardless of water activity.

Non-nano means the zinc oxide particles are not microscopically small, so they sit on top of the skin to block rays rather than being absorbed. This is important for both personal safety and environmental safety, as non-nano minerals are considered reef-safe and are less likely to enter the bloodstream.

Store your sunblock in a cool place out of direct sunlight, as heat can degrade the natural ingredients. For best results, use it within a year and note the date you opened it. The handcrafted formula with organic butters and oils is best used fresh.
