Step 1: Just a Smidge
Warm a smidge (pea-sized amount) in your palms. This is enough to cover your face.
Step 2: Spread Gently
Spread gently across your skin - there is no need for vigorous rubbing like you do with liquid sunscreens in plastic squeezy bottles. Our sunscreen spreads easily and doesn’t leave a white cast.
Step 3: Repeat
Repeat the process using at least a pea-sized amount for each body part i.e one for each arm, one for each leg and so on, until all areas of exposed skin are covered.
Reapply:
At least every 2 hours after a long swim or immediately after towel drying.
Reviews
I bought a small tin, have used it twice but it seems a little gritty for me. My friend who put me onto this product hers was smooth. Not sure why mine arrived like this.
I love Smidge! I'm an Ocean Swimmer and it's the best sunscreen I've ever come across - so easy to apply, really gentle on the skin, very effective, and doesn't harm the ocean...that ticks all the boxes! Thanks you too for being so responsive and easy to communicate with!
I was super excited to try this sunscreen and it has not dissapointed. Thanks Nat for making such a beautiful effective product that is safe for my tamariki & mokopuna. X
Absolutely amazing to have a sunscreen that works with our hectic UV rays, and isn't filled with poisons. Is super easy to apply + isn't super thick. I also love the origin story - great work!
I LOVE THIS STUFF!! I should be working on commission because I've told everyone I know about it. Its so great to have full protection and not taste sunscreen OR have bright red stinging eyes at the end of the day. My little ones love it too which is such a bonus! We will be lifetime customers 😄
