Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50: High Protection Without Breakouts
Acne-prone skin needs sun protection more than any other type, especially if you’re using treatments that increase sensitivity. But many sunscreens clog pores, feel heavy or trigger new breakouts. Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50 solves that problem. With 25% non-nano zinc oxide and a non-comedogenic base infused with organic tea tree oil, it delivers high, broad-spectrum protection that won’t suffocate skin. It rubs in clear, feels lightweight, and helps soothe irritated, breakout-prone areas. Protection, not congestion, so you don’t have to choose between clear skin and safe skin.
Why it's the Smart Sunscreen for Acne & Sensitive Skin
✓ SPF 50 PA++++ – High protection for breakout-prone, photosensitive skin

✓ 25% Non-Nano Zinc Oxide – Mineral shield with natural calming properties

✓ Lightweight, Non-Greasy Texture – Comfortable for oily/combination skin
✓ 80-Minute Water Resistance – Ideal for active and sporty skin

✓ Made in Australia – High-standard sun formulation
Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50 is ideal if you’re using:
Prescription retinoids (e.g. tretinoin), Over-the-counter retinol or retinal, AHAs/BHAs (glycolic acid, salicylic acid), Benzoyl peroxide, Azelaic acid or niacinamide serums.
These active ingredients make skin more sun-sensitive, meaning unprotected exposure can lead to burns, irritation and worsening hyperpigmentation. This mineral formula creates a calm, protective envelope over skin so your treatments can work without interference from UV damage.
Because it’s non-comedogenic, fragrance-free and mineral-only, it’s far less likely to sting, burn or trigger flare-ups on compromised skin barriers. It also helps protect post-spot marks from darkening, which is key when you’re trying to fade old pigmentation.

Why Acne-Prone Skin Needs SPF
If you’re battling breakouts, sun cream can feel like the enemy, many formulas feel heavy, clog pores and leave you shinier than before. But skipping SPF makes things worse. UV exposure on inflamed skin can:
- Deepen post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation
- Slow healing and increase redness
- Increase risk of scarring
- Dry the surface while increasing oil production underneath
If you use retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, AHAs/BHAs or prescription acne treatments, your skin is even more vulnerable to UV damage.
Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50 is designed so that you no longer have to choose between clear skin and protection. The lightweight, oil-balanced base and non-comedogenic formula are specifically created for acne-prone and sensitive skin, so you can wear it daily without worrying about new congestion.
Zinc Oxide & Tea Tree: Our Unbeatable Duo for Breakout Skin
Zinc oxide isn’t just a UV filter, it’s naturally soothing and mildly antimicrobial, which makes it a smart choice for acne-prone complexions. It forms a protective, breathable layer on top of skin that:
- Shields against further irritation from UV, wind and pollution
- Helps calm visible redness associated with breakouts
- Reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks)
We’ve paired this with organic tea tree oil, a botanical known for its purifying, clarifying properties. At carefully balanced concentrations, tea tree can:
- Help reduce the appearance of active blemishes
- Support a clearer-looking complexion over time
- Provide a fresh, “clean” feel without harsh alcohols
The result is a sunscreen that not only protects but also respects breakout-prone and sensitive skin. The supporting base includes hydrating, barrier-friendly ingredients (glycerol, sunflower oil, sodium hyaluronate) designed to keep skin comfortable, not stripped, crucial for long-term barrier health and calmer skin.

My teenager has acne-prone sensitive skin and this natural mineral sunscreen is perfect. It's great for acne and doesn't cause any breakouts. Brilliant.
This natural mineral sunscreen is very good for acne and sensitive skin. I'm giving four stars because it takes a moment to blend, but it's great for acne and doesn't cause breakouts.
This natural mineral sunscreen is good for sensitive skin and great for acne. I'm giving four stars because I'd love a slightly higher zinc concentration, but it's brilliant for sensitive skin.
I have very reactive sensitive skin and this natural mineral sunscreen causes no irritation at all. It's great for acne too and the mineral formula is so gentle.
This natural mineral sunscreen is brilliant for my combination sensitive skin. It's great for acne in my T-zone and doesn't dry out my cheeks. Highly recommend.
Let customers speak for us
from 1220 reviewsThis is the first time I have used your sunscreen and was a bit concerned it might not be suitable as I have extremely sensitive skin. However, I am pleased to say that I have had no reaction from it. It goes on easily and a little goes a long way. I consider it to be very good value for money and feel confident it is protecting my skin and as importantly is completely natural. Thank you so much.
I’ve got mild rosacea and reactive sensitive skin and I’m pleased to say that this sunscreen does not cause any irritation. I’ve only used it around 4-5 times so far but I normally know if it’s going to irritate within the first 15 minutes.
The cream is quite thick to rub in but It leaves my skin lovely and soft. I’ve been out in UK spring sunshine most of the day and no redness. I’ll see how it performs in the summer. I do wonder if repeated application throughout the day will make me look pale? But that’s better than sunburn
I have purchased for a trip we go on in a couple of weeks. Hopefully it will work well. Very happy that the first delivery, which the envelope arrived empty, was replaced and sent out straight away, with no quibbles. Great customer service, thank you
I've just starting using mine but it's really helped my skin as I burn even in the winter sun. I have the skin colour one and I love it.
The Tan colour is an absolute perfect match for my skin tone. I use it every day on my nose and cheeks where I get the most sun. It stays on through my entire morning swim and doesn't run into my eyes. Best zinc stick I've ever used.
My surgeon told me to keep my neck scar out of the sun for a year. This stick is perfect, it's opaque enough to block all UV and the tint makes the scar much less noticeable.
You won't get burnt with this high SPF zinc sunscreen. It rubs in clear and has really good ingredients. The best clear zinc sunscreen I've found.
I walk in the countryside and this 2-in-1 is perfect. It actually works to stop insects biting and provides sun protection with a nice tint. I recommend it to all walkers.
Took this on a city break to Rome. It survived the heat, extreme humidity, and hours of walking. It doubles as my makeup base and doesn't melt in my handbag. An absolute must-pack.
This natural sunscreen is brilliant for kids at the beach. No chemicals, high SPF mineral protection, and it stays on in the water. Perfect for kids.
Many sunscreens claim to be reef safe but still contain chemicals that harm marine life. This one is genuinely reef safe — free from oxybenzone, octinoxate, octocrylene, and all known coral-damaging chemicals. The non-nano zinc oxide is the only active ingredient and it's completely safe for marine ecosystems.
My teenager has acne-prone sensitive skin and this natural mineral sunscreen is perfect. It's great for acne and doesn't cause any breakouts. Brilliant.
Wore this at a three-day outdoor festival and it was perfect. Reapplied every two hours, it never felt heavy or sticky, and the pump bottle was easy to use in a crowd. The SPF 50 kept me burn-free despite full sun exposure all day. Will definitely be taking it to every festival.
I use these for my kids' swimming lessons. High water resistance keeps the protection on in the pool. High SPF and the kids love the colours.
Took this skiing in the Alps and it was brilliant. The high sun protection is exactly what you need at altitude where UV is intense. It's long lasting, doesn't crack in the cold, and keeps my nose and cheeks completely protected.
