It's no secret that wearing SPF every day is the best way to protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays. But, if your skin is sensitive, the thought of slathering it every day in thick sunscreen that leaves your face with a white cast and your pores clogged is probably not an attractive one. That's why we've carefully crafted our products to be comfortable, and most importantly, work well on all skin types, including sensitive skin. We're confident that our hydrating mineral SPF is the best mineral sunblock for sensitive skin, thanks to its gentle ingredients which will leave your skin soothed and protected, and the fact that it's completely fragrance-free.
Here at IKKARI, we believe in the power of Mother Earth, harnessing it to create a range of skin and body care, ingestible and aromatherapy products that are both good for you and good for the planet. Our packaging is all infinitely recyclable, crafted from aluminium and glass, and we take care to use Australia-made, organic, low-toxin and cruelty-free ingredients in all our products.
Unlike many of their chemical counterparts which can actually absorb UV rays, mineral sunblocks create an effective natural barrier between the sun and your sensitive skin. Natural minerals like zinc oxide have been used throughout human history for their medicinal qualities. Zinc oxide, as well as being one of the most effective natural sunblocks, is antibacterial and has been shown to help with tissue regrowth and regeneration. As well as that, zinc oxide regulates the production of sebum (oil) in your skin. If you're searching for an effective mineral sunblock for acne-prone skin, zinc oxide is absolutely one of the ingredients to look out for.
Nourish and Protect Your Skin and Soul with a Gentle, Hydrating Sunblock
The Australian sun is harsh and wearing sunblock every day is the best way to protect your skin and prevent premature signs of aging and skin damage. As well as protecting it from the sun, you also need to make sure your sunblock leaves your skin hydrated and nourished. Luckily, our hydrating SPF does all three. Available in 50ml or 150ml tubes, it's ideal for day-long protection at home or away.
With 216mg/g of zinc oxide as its primary active ingredient, it works effectively as a natural sunblock, but also contains a range of natural ingredients from rosehip and safflower to cucumber and glycerine. These natural ingredients work together in perfect harmony to not only protect your skin from the sun and environmental aggressors, but also leave it feeling replenished and moisturised. And, with the addition of green tea - known and cherished for its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties - using the sunblock every day will help to minimise the appearance of pores, reduce any redness and irritation, and even help prevent breakouts by killing off harmful bacteria.
Sunblock with zinc oxide is particularly suitable for sensitive skin because, rather than absorbing into the skin, the zinc oxide sits on top of it and provides a literal barrier between your skin and harmful UVA and UVB rays. A potential drawback of zinc oxide is its pure white colour; products containing it are potentially in danger of leave a white cast on your skin. We combat this by incorporating a subtle tint into our sunblock, preventing the pale, greasy look sunscreens can sometimes leave behind, and giving you a beautiful, healthy glow.
To get the most out of your IKARRI sunscreen, we recommend applying it 20 minutes before you go outside, giving it time to really settle on your skin and work effectively. While it's an effective sunblock, it's important to reapply regularly throughout the day and particularly after exercise to make sure your skin is properly protected all day long.
