Back To The Wild High SPF40 Natural Sunscreen

Sunscreen that keeps you adventuring longer

100% natural, SPF protection with NZ's most minimal ingredients - adventure-ready sunscreen for the whole family

Stay protected longer and adventure further with our powerful yet gentle natural SPF 40 sunscreen. Made with minimal carefully selected, all-natural ingredients, this broad-spectrum sunscreen shields against both UVA and UVB rays using zinc oxide - the safest and most effective mineral sunscreen available.

Formulated for the wild and the everyday, it creates a physical barrier that not only prevents sunburn and windburn, but also deeply nourishes the skin. Safe for babies, sensitive skin, and anyone avoiding synthetic chemicals, it’s water-free for extra staying power and longer shelf life - making it your perfect companion for every season.

It spreads effortlessly, goes on completely clear, and leaves no greasy residue - just soft, protected skin. Housed in eco-friendly glass jars or aluminium tins, a little goes a long way. A large jar is often all a family needs for an entire summer of sunny adventures.

Compliant with AS/NZS 2604:2021 and ISO 24443 standards, this sunscreen is adventure-tested and family-approved.
Wherever the day takes you - from mountaintops to beaches - you’re covered, naturally

Directions for Use

Make sure to test patch on skin first. If any irritation occurs, discontinue use. Bee products and coconut oil would be the most likely culprits so we'd recommend further allergy testing around these.

The Cancer Society recommendation with any sunscreen is to re-apply every two hours, and after getting out of water due to rub-off.

Becuase zinc oxide forms a physical barrier, not a chemical one, it theoretically works as soon as applied. However legally our label must tell you to wait 20 minutes before going into the sun.

Staying in the shade is the most effective method of sun protection for people of all ages.

More Info

If you get the sunscreen on your clothing, we recommend using a plain cleaning soap such as our Solid Castile Soap to patch wash.

If you are looking for the sunscreen that used to be called "Regular Sunscreen", we no longer manufacture this one, but the former 'Kawakawa Sunscreen' (now called 'Kawakawa Outdoor Balm') is the same recipe, with the addition of Kawakawa. This makes it skin-healing and mildly insect repelling at the same time. It also uses a more affordable zinc, which can make it a better option for everyday use in the garden, or for sending to preschool.
