Pure Zinc Acne Sunscreen SPF 50

Most sunscreens make acne worse. Heavy oils clog pores. Chemical UV filters irritate already inflamed skin. Fragrance triggers reactions. This formula strips all of that out and replaces it with ingredients that work with breakout-prone skin, not against it.

Zinc oxide is naturally anti-inflammatory and non-comedogenic — the same ingredient in nappy cream. It sits on the skin's surface without penetrating pores. Organic tea tree oil is well-documented for its clarifying, soothing properties on acne-prone skin. The combination means you're protecting against UV damage (which worsens acne scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) while supporting skin recovery.

If you're on prescription acne medication — isotretinoin, tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide — mineral zinc sunscreen is what most dermatologists recommend. These treatments make your skin far more UV-sensitive, and a stable physical barrier is safer than chemical filters on sensitised skin.

The formula is lighter than many 25% zinc sunscreens thanks to the organic oil base. Apply in thin layers, let it absorb, build up if needed. The tea tree oil has a naturally mattifying effect that helps control shine on oily skin.

Also contains Pomegranate, Banana, Sea Buckthorn, and Kakadu Plum for skin nourishment.

Who It's For

Teens and young adults with acne or oily skin, anyone undergoing acne treatment (including prescription retinoids or benzoyl peroxide), and those with sensitive, breakout-prone complexions who struggle to find a sunscreen that doesn't make things worse.

Apply generously to clean, dry skin 15 minutes before sun exposure. Can be applied over acne treatments — allow treatments to absorb first. Reapply every 2 hours, or after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

Most sunscreens clog pores, aggravate breakouts, and create a greasy film that makes acne worse. Chemical UV filters can also irritate already inflamed skin. The Acne formula is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), uses zinc oxide which is naturally anti-inflammatory, and includes organic tea tree oil which is well-known for its skin-clarifying properties.

25% non-nano zinc oxide as the sole active ingredient. The base uses organic sunflower oil, and it's enriched with organic tea tree oil (soothing for breakout-prone skin), plus botanical extracts including banana, pomegranate, and sea buckthorn. No fragrances, no chemical UV filters, no parabens.

The formula is specifically designed not to clog pores. It's free from the heavy oils, fragrances, and chemical additives that commonly trigger breakouts. Zinc oxide itself is non-comedogenic and has mild anti-inflammatory properties that can actually help calm irritated skin.

Mineral zinc oxide sunscreen is widely recommended by dermatologists for patients on acne medication because these treatments make skin significantly more UV-sensitive. Physical zinc creates a stable barrier without the potential irritation of chemical UV filters on already sensitised skin. Always consult your prescribing doctor about your complete skincare routine.

The formula is tinted with natural iron oxides to reduce white cast. It blends to a natural, subtle finish. On very dark skin tones, a slight cast may be initially visible.

Yes. 25% non-nano zinc oxide with zero chemical UV filters. Organic, vegan, and reef safe.

The formula is lighter than many 25% zinc oxide sunscreens thanks to the organic oil base. However, all high-concentration mineral sunscreens will feel somewhat different from lightweight chemical alternatives. Apply in thin layers, let it absorb, and build up if needed. The tea tree oil also has a naturally mattifying effect.

The Acne formula is SPF 50 (vs SPF 30), includes organic tea tree oil for breakout-prone skin, and is specifically designed as non-comedogenic. The Face SPF 30 is a general-purpose daily face sunscreen for all skin types. If acne is your primary concern, choose this one.
