What makes this different
Skin that reacts. Protection that doesn't.
Some skin needs more thought. More care in what goes on it. More confidence that what you're applying is doing its job without causing a reaction.
The Mineral Sun Shield was built for exactly that kind of skin. Gentle enough from six months up. Designed for highly sensitive skin. Trusted when it really matters.
Not only that, but it's water resistant for up to 80 minutes so it's ideal for watersports, sailing and time at the beach.

WHAT YOU GET INSTEAD
GENTLE BY DESIGN.
We carefully balance zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to make sure protection is high and
possible skin reaction is low. For sensitive skin and young children, that matters.
Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ protection. Gentle by design.
WHAT YOU GET INSTEAD
LIGHTWEIGHT. LIMITED WHITE CAST.
We paired tiny zinc oxide and titanium dioxide particles with other ingredients to create a
lightweight emulsion that blends evenly, sits comfortably on skin, and leaves a natural
matte finish. It goes on white but with light rubbing, blends into your skin. It doesn't feel
like mineral sunscreen. It doesn't look like it either.
WHAT YOU GET INSTEAD
ON. PROTECTED. NO WAITING.
Mineral filters are already in position the moment you apply them. There's no activation
window. No timing to manage. Apply it, get outside. That's the whole process.
Every ingredient matters
Our high-performance formulas are built on proven science and smart ingredient tech.
WHAT'S IN IT AND WHY
- Zinc oxide: broad-spectrum mineral UV filter. Highly effective in the UVA range. Photostable. Stays on the surface
- Titanium dioxide: mineral UV filter. Enhances UVB protection. Photostable. Complements zinc oxide for full broad-spectrum coverage
- Bisabolol (chamomile-derived): soothes and calms sensitive or irritated skin. Reduces redness

GOOD TO KNOW
DOES IT LEAVE A WHITE CAST?
There's a limited white cast, which is normal for mineral sunscreens. The micronised mineral formula reduces this compared to traditional zinc-heavy products, leaving a natural matte finish. Blend it in thoroughly for the best result.
DOES IT WORK STRAIGHTAWAY OR DO I NEED TO WAIT?
It works immediately. Mineral filters sit on the skin's surface and are already in position the moment you apply them. There's no activation window. Apply it, get outside.
IS IT SAFE FOR BABIES AND YOUNG CHILDREN?
The Mineral Sun Shield is suitable for children from 6 months up. Because mineral filters can be less irritating and sit on the skin's surface, mineral sunscreen is the recommended choice for very young or sensitive skin.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO REAPPLY?
Reapply regularly during sun exposure, and always after swimming, sweating heavily, or towelling off. Mineral filters are physically removed by water and activity, so protection reduces over time. Keeping the tin to hand and topping up matters. A small amount reapplied consistently outperforms a heavy initial application that isn't topped up.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND THE SPF 50+ SUN GEL?
The Sun Gel uses chemical UV filters, feels far more lightweight and non-greasy. It is built for active use. The Mineral Sun Shield uses 100% mineral filters, which sit on the skin's surface and don't enter the body. It's the better choice for sensitive skin, young children, or anyone who prefers a mineral-only formula.
