Why Koobarra stands out
We believe sun protection should be simple, effective and sustainable. Our mineral sunscreen gives broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection without harsh chemicals, so it's gentle on sensitive skin and on coral reefs.
- Effective protection
- Broad-spectrum SPF 50 defence against UVA and UVB rays.
- Skin-friendly formula
- Gentle and fragrance-free, with hyaluronic acid for comfortable, hydrated skin.
- Real-world performance
- Made for real conditions: strong sun, sweat and up to 80 minutes in the water.
Thicker by design
Koobarra sits a little thicker than chemical sunscreen. That's how non-nano mineral protection works: the zinc forms a protective layer on top of your skin instead of being absorbed into it.
- Starts rich, then blends in
- Minerals sit on the skin, not in it
- Hydrates as it sets, with hyaluronic acid
- Stays put through sweat and water, up to 80 minutes
Two tints, one formula
Same SPF 50 mineral protection in both. Pick the shade closest to your skin.
Medium tint
Sun-kissed and medium skin
A mid-range tint for sun-kissed and medium complexions. A natural finish that keeps zinc from looking chalky.
Kind to your skin and the reef
Our reef-safe formula is made with minerals, organic plant extracts and purified water. Non-nano zinc stays on the surface of your skin, and it's free from:
- Petrochemicals
- Parabens
- Preservatives
- Artificial fragrance
- Oxybenzone
- Octinoxate
Unscented, vegan, non-comedogenic and dermatologist tested.

Questions
The ones we hear most. See all FAQs
What type of sunscreen is Koobarra?
Koobarra Mineral Face Sunscreen is a mineral sunscreen made with non-nano zinc oxide. It gives broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
Which tint should I choose?
Light tint suits fair and lighter skin. Medium tint suits sun-kissed and medium skin. Both have the same SPF 50 mineral formula, so the only difference is the shade.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The formula is unscented and fragrance-free, dermatologist tested and non-comedogenic.
Does it leave a white cast?
Both versions have a light tint that blends into the skin and reduces the white cast you usually get from mineral sunscreen.
Is it water resistant?
Yes, for up to 80 minutes, so it holds up through swimming, surfing, sport and sweat. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, and straight after towel drying.
Made for long days outside.
Both tints are sold on Amazon, which handles shipping and returns.
