Are you conscious of what is in your sunscreen? Us too. 

With 80,000 Kiwis being diagnosed yearly with skin cancer, you need to protect your kids from the sun’s harmful rays this summer without compromising their health.

Our award-winning natural SPF30 mineral sunscreen is your clean sunscreen choice this summer.

And whilst understanding the realities of daily lives, we also have launched our new limited edition with Bioglitter®, levelling up the mundane chore of slathering on sunscreen this summer. 

Our Bioglitter SPF30 Sunscreen is designed to make applying sunscreen to your little ones much easier and WAY more fun – and don’t worry, your children won’t look like a glitter bomb; it is a very subtle luminescent addition with pink, green and blue reflecting in the sun. See it in action here. 

Bioglitter® is a biodegradable plant-based glitter that is ethically and sustainably created and degrades naturally in fresh water. Bioglitter does not contain plastic or aluminium and is safe for skin use.

Why you’ll love our sunscreen:

  • Baby-safe: suitable for all ages 3m+.

  • Eczema-friendly: gentle on the most sensitive skin, including eczema-prone.

  • Non-greasy feel: smooth, lightweight and sits comfortably on the skin, which makes it great for both face and body.

  • Reef-friendly: no chemical UV filters, making it a better option to safeguard aquatic life and their habitats.

  • A little goes a long way: no water, preservatives or filler ingredients. Every ingredient chosen has a purpose! 

  • Pleasant aroma: sunscreen doesn’t have to smell bad! Infused with a hint of lavender, this sunscreen smells like summer and is pleasant to the nose.

  • No nanoparticles: the jury is still out on the safety of nano materials in sunscreen filters, so we have left them out. Better to be safe, than sorry!

  • Eco-conscious packaging: 75g in a recyclable 100% sugarcane tube, making it easy to apply and convenient for summer adventures while lessening one's carbon footprint. Why sugarcane?

Locally made here in Aotearoa with love.

75g tube made from 100% sugarcane.

Fancy a sunscreen applicator for less mess? The Solar Buddies sunscreen applicator dispenses our sunscreen well in temperatures over 15 degrees.

For best practice, while having fun in the sun, remember the saying "SLIP, SLOP, SLAP and WRAP". Along with applying SPF-rated sunscreen, this includes wearing a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing and seeking shade where possible to avoid direct exposure to UV rays. Special care needs to be taken with babies in the sun, and cover with clothing as much as possible. 

Hot summer tip: Set the alarm on your phone so you reapply sunscreen regularly.

Common questions

Rather than being absorbed into the skin like a traditional chemical-based sunscreen, the mineral UV filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in this case – read more about ingredients here) sit on top of the skin and deflect and/or block harmful UV rays in a similar fashion to protective clothing. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are widely considered to be the gentlest and safest sun care products.

"Mineral sunscreens are like a healthy, home-cooked meal, while chemical sunscreens are like the fast food of sunscreens" – Lauren Ploch, MD, a USA board-certified dermatologist.

Firstly, and most importantly, the new formula has undergone rigorous SPF testing in line with the new AS/NZS 2604:2021 standards and has been formulated in conjunction with cosmetic chemists. With a nod to our original formula, it contains most of the original ingredients with the same nostalgic aroma. We have added extra ingredients to: 

  • super-charge the SPF
  • keep the UV filters that protect your skin evenly distributed throughout the formulation, as well as specialised machinery to disperse the actives
  • enhance the skin feel

In addition to the formulation change, we have now made your summer adventures far more convenient by packaging it all up in a tube made from 100% sugarcane.

Great sunscreen

I bought a tube for myself and the bio glitter tube with a solar buddie each for my grandchildren as part of their Christmas present.
What a hit! They now happily apply their own sunscreen and love it.
I like using the sunscreen also as I’ve only used natural sunscreens for many years. It’s a good product.

The best for Sensitive baby skin

i was worried that there will be no sunscreen that will work for my bubba given that his skin so sensitive but thank goodness for this nude alchemist sunscreen, it took all of my worries away. My bub enjoys the sun without a doubt!

Max Protection

Sweat, water, sawdust and dirt does not deter this sunscreen from protecting my skin! The thick consistency leaves me with a slightly pale complexion but I’d rather that than being as red as a tomato. I’ve been applying twice daily (6am and 11am) since Nov 2023 and I’ve never found a better sunscreen that actually stops me from burning! 100% recommend and to also be supporting a kiwi business is an added bonus!

Great sunscreen

We've just finished a tube if this sunscreen and love it! Smells lovely and consistently gives great sun protection. There is a white cast which lasts some time but as my little one is always wriggling around when I'm applying it I actually find it a helpful indicator of where I may have missed a spot!
