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.

How often should I reapply?

Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every 2 hours, after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, and straight after towel drying.

Will it hold up during sport?

Yes. It's water resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it suits running, surfing, golf, tennis and long days on the water. Reapply at least every 2 hours, and after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating.

Does it contain chemical UV filters?

No. Zinc oxide is the only UV filter, with no oxybenzone or octinoxate. We're proud to score 98/100 on the Yuka app.

Is it reef safe?

Yes. The formula is designed to be reef-conscious and avoids ingredients commonly known to harm coral reefs.

What does it feel like on the skin?

Smooth and hydrating, thanks to hyaluronic acid. Mineral protection sits slightly thicker than chemical sunscreen. That texture is what forms the protective layer, and it blends in as it sets.

Where is it made?

Koobarra is proudly made in Australia, where the sun is strong and sun care is taken seriously.

Where can I buy Koobarra?
