Frequently Asked Questions
The only thing burning should be questions. Don't sweat it, we've got you covered.
How does Smidge Sunscreen work?
Smidge contains non-nano zinc oxide particles that sit on top of your skin where they absorb and scatter UVA and UVB rays. Non-nano zinc oxide is a safe UV filter for babies, children and people with sensitive, eczema-prone skin.

Has Smidge Been SPF Tested?
Yes. Smidge has been tested at Dermatest Lab, Australia's leading sunscreen and skin care evaluation laboratory and complies to the Australian and New Zealand Sunscreen Standard AS/NZS 2604:2021.
How do I store Smidge Sunscreen?
Store below 25 degrees and out of direct sunlight. If it melts, it will go very runny but it is still entirely safe to use. Smidge Sunscreen has a shelf life of two years and has the date it was made, printed on the tin.
What do I do with my empty tin once I've used it all?
Our aluminium tins are reusable and/or recyclable. Please wipe your tin clean with a paper towel first. Some of our stockists have Smidge refill stations.
I have allergies/sensitivities; is Smidge safe for sensitive skin?
Smidge has the full ingredient list printed on the label and on the product page. We also have an ingredients page where you can learn more.
