Cover Up Buttercup SPF 15 Natural Moisturiser 120g

A natural SPF 15 cream still provides very good sun protection whilst not requiring as much clear Zinc and other ingredients as with higher SPF formulas so it feels lighter on the skin. This formula provides long lasting protection without using UV Filters or penetration enhancers, and it won’t leave you looking white as a ghost after application. This is personally what we prefer to use at home. SPF 15 will provide protection for 4 hours for someone who would normally burn in 15 minutes, and doesn’t break down on the skin, diminishing protection levels.

We also made this delicious moisturiser full of natural oils that are high in the types of fatty acids that healthy skin needs. These help to hydrate, moisturise and pamper dry skin. This cream is for absolutely everyone, including babies, and those with sensitive skin so rub it on whenever and wherever your skin could use a little love and protection from the sun.

Products that contain Zinc can be a little harder to apply that thinner formulas that don’t contain Zinc, or those spray ones that seem convenient but it’s hard to tell if your skin is covered. We recommend rubbing our Zinc-based products in with a quick smear, and then allow it to sit on the skin for 30 seconds or so to warm up to body temperature, and then rub in clear. A little extra effort for a lot of extra benefit. Avoid contact with eyes; wear cool sunnies instead.

How does SPF actually work?

Think of SPF like a sun-shield rating. SPF 15 blocks about 94% of UV rays, SPF 30 blocks around 97% and SPF 40 blocks 98%. Not a huge jump percentage-wise, but higher SPFs need more active ingredients, which can make them feel thicker on the skin.

SPF 15 will provide protection for 4 hours for someone who would normally burn in 15 minutes. SPF 30 provides protection for 8 hours of sun.

Real talk though? The amount of protection you get comes down to how much and how often you apply it. Please apply generously and reapply if you’re out and about!

What’s the difference between physical and chemical sunscreens?

There are two types of sun protection:

• Physical (a.k.a. mineral): Like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, these sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays away like tiny mirrors or umbrellas.
• Chemical (a.k.a. UV filters): These absorb UV rays into the skin and convert them into heat. They’re always synthetic and not always kind on sensitive skin, so we skip them.

We prefer to use Zinc Oxide, which acts as a gentle, natural shield. It’s also great for sensitive skin.

Isn’t Zinc usually white and chalky?

Yes, Zinc Oxide would normally be white on the skin. We use a special Australian-made Zinc Oxide that’s dispersed in Jojoba Oil to help it spread smoothly and sit clear on the skin.

Do your sunscreens contain nano-particles?

Yes, but let us explain. Any clear Zinc on the market is now classed as ‘nano-particles’ BUT of different sizes.The term nano simply refers to the particle size. These have previously had a bad rap, however, the description of a nano-particle has since changed so they will not cause any harm.

We use clear Zinc Oxide with a median particle size of 0.31 microns (that’s 310 nanometres), with all particles between 0.25 microns and 0.35 microns. This is considered non-penetrating. That means it stays on the surface doing its job, not absorbing into your bloodstream.

How much Zinc Oxide is in it?

All of our SPF 40 products contain 24.96% Zinc Oxide - that’s what gives you broad spectrum UVA + UVB protection. Our SPF 15 formulas contain 19% Zinc.

Do I need to wear sunscreen every day?

We say yes please! Even on cloudy, overcast, rainy days and during winter, you should be wearing sunscreen every day for skin cancer prevention. Not wearing sunscreen every day is one of the leading causes for premature ageing too!

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

We made this formula with sensitive types in mind - no fragrance, alcohol, essential oils or synthetic preservatives. Just hydrating, gentle ingredients your skin will love.

Where can I learn more about sunscreen?

We always recommend doing a little digging for yourself. While we can’t challenge SPF claims legally (they're considered therapeutic goods in Australia), there’s heaps of useful info online. Try the Wikipedia (although not always accurate) sunscreen page! Weirdly specific, we know, but trust us, it’s a goldmine.

What ingredients do you avoid when making a moisturiser?

There's lots of things you won't find in this cream (or any of our other products) because they were all formulated for family members and close friends. This includes Paraffin and Mineral Oil which derive from petroleum, but are commonly found in commercial moisturisers like Sorbolene. We don’t think putting the stuff that goes into our cars on our skin is the healthiest thing we can do.

We also don’t use any synthetic preservatives such as Parabens and Phenoxyethanol, although they're pretty common too, including with a few brands that claim to be natural (you know who you are!). We avoid a lot of other things too, way too many to list here. We also don't use any useless, trendy ingredients like stem cells from Swiss apples or super power jellyfish DNA, just natural, effective ingredients for healthy skin.

Is this a face cream or a body cream?

We like to keep things simple even if marketing can sometimes tell us otherwise and get us to believe we need a different cream for every part of the body. This cream is made for your skin so rub it on whenever you like on your face and body, and hands and feet too, we don’t discriminate.

Is your Cover Up Buttercup water-resistant?

This formula is not water-resistant so make sure to reapply immediately after activity and swimming.

What is the youngest age sunscreen can be applied to?

All of our sunscreen products are suitable for all ages, including children and newborns.
