Key Benefits

What does the Non-Tinted SPF do for your skin?

The Non-Tinted SPF is a mineral-based SPF 25 that provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection using zinc oxide — a physical filter that sits on your skin and reflects harmful rays. Unlike chemical sunscreens, nothing is absorbed into your body. It also hydrates with Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane, so it is sun protection and skincare in one step.

CANSA-approved mineral SPF 25

Carries the CANSA Seal of Recognition — independently verified by the Cancer Association of South Africa to meet strict sun protection standards for daily use.

Invisible finish — no white cast

Finely milled zinc oxide blends seamlessly on all skin tones. No tint to mismatch, no chalky residue. Works beautifully under any makeup or worn alone.

Zinc oxide sits ON skin — not in it

Mineral UV filters reflect rays from the skin’s surface rather than being absorbed into the body like chemical SPFs. A cleaner, safer approach to sun protection.

Hydrating skincare formula

Sodium Hyaluronate holds up to 1,000x its weight in water for deep hydration, while Squalane mimics your skin’s natural oils. This is not just protection — it is nourishment.

Who Is It For?

Is the Non-Tinted SPF right for me?

The Non-Tinted SPF is designed for everyone. It is especially loved by those who want clean, invisible sun protection without the chemicals, the white cast, or the greasy feel of traditional sunscreens.

If you want clean, invisible sun protection for everyday

You care about what goes on your skin. You want mineral-based protection that is CANSA approved, reef-safe, and free from chemical UV filters — without compromising on feel or finish.

If chemical sunscreens irritate your skin

Chemical UV filters like oxybenzone and avobenzone cause stinging, redness, or breakouts for many. Zinc oxide sits on top of the skin and is one of the best-tolerated UV filters for sensitive and reactive skin.

If you layer SPF under makeup and need something lightweight

The fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula creates the perfect base for foundation or concealer. No pilling, no slipping. It can also be worn alone on bare-skin days.

Skin Types & Conditions

Is the Non-Tinted SPF good for my skin type?

The Non-Tinted SPF is recommended for all skin types. Its mineral formula is especially well-suited for sensitive skin, and its invisible finish means it works on every skin tone without colour mismatch.

✓ Recommended For

All Skin Tones

Completely invisible on the skin — no tint to mismatch on darker or lighter complexions. No white cast concerns.

Use every morning

Sensitive or Reactive Skin

Mineral zinc oxide is the UV filter most recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin. It sits on the surface and does not penetrate or irritate. The only fragrance is natural vanilla extract.

Use every morning

Dry or Dehydrated Skin

Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane deliver deep hydration while you are protected. This SPF nourishes rather than drying out skin.

Use every morning

Normal or Combination Skin

The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula sits comfortably without feeling heavy or oily. It balances hydration without excess shine.

Use every morning

Mature or Ageing Skin

Vitamin E and Squalane provide antioxidant protection while SPF prevents further UV-induced ageing. A protective and nourishing daily shield.

Use every morning

Makeup Wearers

Designed to be worn under foundation, concealer, or any makeup. The invisible, non-greasy finish creates an ideal base without pilling or interference.

Apply before makeup

! Good to Know

Oily or Acne-Prone Skin

The formula contains non-comedogenic Squalane, which mimics your skin’s natural sebum without clogging pores. However, if you prefer a matte finish, allow a few minutes for full absorption before applying powder.

Allow time to absorb

Very Fair Skin

SPF 25 is suitable for daily South African conditions when reapplied every two hours during prolonged exposure. For extended outdoor activity or very fair skin, pair with protective clothing and shade.

Reapply every 2 hours outdoors

Intense Outdoor Activity

For prolonged sun exposure — beach days, hiking, or sport — reapply every two hours and immediately after swimming or sweating. Consider pairing with a hat and protective clothing.

Reapply frequently

Vanilla Sensitivity

Contains Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract for a subtle natural scent. While vanilla is one of the few fragrance botanicals considered non-sensitising, patch test if you have known sensitivities.

Key Ingredients

What ingredients are in the Non-Tinted SPF?

The Non-Tinted SPF is built around Zinc Oxide as its mineral UV filter, supported by Squalane, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), and Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract. It also includes Titanium Dioxide for additional UV protection.

Each ingredient is selected to protect, hydrate, and nourish — so this SPF feels like skincare, not sunscreen.

Full INCI: Aqua (Water), Zinc Oxide, Squalane, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Shea Butter Ethyl Esters, Isoamyl Laurate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, C13-15 Alkane, Glycerin, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Titanium Dioxide, Methylpropanediol, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Sodium Hyaluronate, Magnesium Sulphate, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Vanilla Planifolia (Vanilla) Fruit Extract, Aluminum Stearate, Caprylyl Glycol, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Isostearic Acid, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Alumina, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, 1,2-Hexanediol, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Alcohol, Phenylpropanol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Citric Acid.

Mineral UV Filter

Zinc Oxide

The gold standard in mineral sun protection. Zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB coverage by sitting on the skin’s surface and physically reflecting harmful rays — rather than being absorbed into the body like chemical filters. It is the UV filter most recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin, is considered reef-safe, and has a long history of safety in topical applications.

Plant-Derived Moisturiser

Squalane

A plant-derived oil that mimics your skin’s own natural sebum (squalene). Lightweight, non-comedogenic, and fast-absorbing, Squalane delivers hydration without greasiness. Clinical studies confirm it helps repair compromised barrier function by replenishing depleted lipids in the stratum corneum. Its anti-inflammatory properties also help soothe reactive skin.

Deep Hydration

Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)

A smaller-molecule form of Hyaluronic Acid that can penetrate deeper into the skin. Capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water, it forms a hydration reservoir that keeps skin plump and moisturised throughout the day. Clinical trials show it significantly improves skin hydration and elasticity, reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier.

Antioxidant & Soothing

Vanilla Planifolia (Vanilla) Fruit Extract

A natural botanical extract rich in vanillin and catechin polyphenols — potent antioxidants that neutralise free radicals from UV exposure and environmental stress. Vanilla is one of the few fragrance botanicals considered non-sensitising, making it safe even for eczema-prone skin. It provides a subtle, soothing natural scent that fades shortly after application.

How do I use the Non-Tinted SPF?

Apply the Non-Tinted SPF as the last step in your morning skincare routine. Use a coin-sized amount on face and neck, blending evenly. Can be worn alone or under makeup. Reapply every two hours during prolonged sun exposure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Non-Tinted SPF

Everything you need to know before adding the Non-Tinted SPF to your daily routine.

What SPF level is the Non-Tinted SPF? +

The Non-Tinted SPF provides SPF 25 broad-spectrum protection using mineral zinc oxide. This level of protection is suitable for daily wear in South Africa’s harsh UV conditions when reapplied every two hours during prolonged sun exposure.

Is it CANSA approved? +

Yes. The Non-Tinted SPF carries the CANSA (Cancer Association of South Africa) Seal of Recognition. This means it has been independently verified to meet strict sun protection standards set by South Africa’s leading cancer research body.

Does it leave a white cast? +

No, the Non-Tinted SPF is formulated to absorb invisibly on all skin tones without leaving a white cast. The zinc oxide particles are finely milled so the formula blends seamlessly, unlike many traditional mineral sunscreens.

Can I wear it under makeup? +

Yes, the Non-Tinted SPF is lightweight and fast-absorbing, making it an ideal base under makeup. Allow 1-2 minutes for it to set before applying foundation or concealer. It can also be worn alone as the final step in your morning skincare routine.

What is the difference between the Non-Tinted and Tinted SPF? +

Both share the same mineral-based SPF 25 formula with Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane, and Vitamin E. The only difference is that the Tinted SPF contains colour pigments (CI codes) that provide a sheer tint and light coverage, while the Non-Tinted SPF is completely invisible on the skin. Choose Non-Tinted if you want no colour at all, or Tinted if you want a subtle, skin-evening glow.

Is zinc oxide safe for my skin? +

Yes. Zinc oxide is one of the safest UV filters available. As a mineral filter, it sits on top of the skin and reflects UV rays rather than being absorbed into the body like chemical sunscreen ingredients. It is well-tolerated by sensitive skin and is the UV filter recommended by most dermatologists for reactive skin types.

How often should I reapply? +

Reapply every two hours during prolonged sun exposure, and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. For everyday indoor activities with brief sun exposure, a single morning application provides adequate protection.

Is it reef-safe? +

Yes. The Non-Tinted SPF uses zinc oxide as its primary UV filter, which is a mineral ingredient considered reef-safe. It does not contain oxybenzone or octinoxate — the two chemical UV filters most linked to coral reef damage.

What does it smell like? +

The Non-Tinted SPF has a subtle, natural vanilla scent from Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract. There are no synthetic fragrances. The scent is gentle and dissipates shortly after application.

Where is it made? +

The Non-Tinted SPF is made in South Africa by Skin Creamery, a women-owned brand founded by Hannah Rubin in Cape Town in 2014. It is formulated specifically for South Africa’s intense UV conditions.
