SkinSmart Natural Tinted Zinc Lotion – Non-Chemical Sun Protection & Foundation

SkinSmart is an all natural, non-irritating, gentle yet effective natural tinted lotion that provides physical UVA/UVB protection using 8% un-micronised zinc oxide alongside antioxidant-rich green and black tea. Its beige tint means it doubles as a subtle, natural foundation, suitable even for babies and those with sensitive skin. Handcrafted in small batches, this formula delivers broad-spectrum sun protection using only pure, botanical ingredients.

Perfect for everyday sun protection and tinted coverage, SkinSmart nourishes and shields skin from environmental damage from harsh Australian conditions—without synthetic filters or harsh preservatives. To date we have never encountered anyone sensitive to this product, including very young children. It is the best we can do to provide a completely natural, non chemical sunscreen.

Key Benefits

• Mineral-based sun protection with 8% non-micronised zinc oxide (no ghosting or skin penetration)

• Tinted formulation for light coverage—acts as a natural foundation

• Safe for babies and delicate skin—non-irritating, chemical-free formula

• Made with antioxidants—green & black tea oils defend against environmental damage

• Handcrafted in small batches to ensure freshness, potency, and in-house quality control

Ingredients

• Zinc Oxide (8%) – Physical sunscreen that stays on the surface to reflect harmful rays

• Green & Black Tea Extracts – Antioxidant protection to combat environmental stress

• Avocado, Sesame & Jojoba Oils – Nourish, soften, and support the skin’s barrier

How to Use

Apply liberally and evenly to exposed skin before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming—this is not completely waterproof. Because of the tint, SkinSmart can double as a natural foundation. For full sun-days, consider adding a thicker zinc cream on high-exposure areas like the nose.

FAQs

1. Is SkinSmart safe for babies?
Yes—SkinSmart is formulated with non-irritating, natural ingredients and non-micronised zinc oxide, making it gentle enough for even young children and delicate skin. To date we have never encountered anyone sensitive to this product, including very young children. It is the best we can do to provide a completely natural, non chemical sunscreen.

2. Can it replace my sunscreen and foundation?
Absolutely! This tinted lotion protects skin from UVA/UVB rays while delivering a light, natural coverage—you can skip both your sunscreen and foundation.

3. Is SkinSmart water-resistant or waterproof?
While SkinSmart offers effective broad-spectrum sun protection, it’s not completely waterproof—reapply after swimming or heavy sweating for continued coverage. Great for all over protection but you might want to add the old fashioned thick zinc cream on your nose if you are in the sun all day.

Why is SkinSmart made in small batches?
SkinSmart is handcrafted in small batches to ensure each lotion is fresh, potent, and made with highest quality botanical ingredients—never mass-produced.

Did you stop making SkinSmart before? Yes, back by public demand after we stopped making this very complex and messy-to-make product! It requires ALL our pots and the zinc is immensely difficult to clean off! Worth it!

FAQs

Is Pestoff Spray safe for children?
Pestoff contains essential oils (approx 3%), so we suggest patch testing first and applying sparingly on children under 3. Some customers dilute it further for littlies. Always cover up physically (eg. with muslin over a pram) if you can. Another idea is to use a thick layer of coconut oil (or a mineral oil which stays on the surface) on exposed skin so insects can't get a purchase on skin.

Does it contain DEET?
No - Pestoff is completely DEET-free, instead using neem and insect-deterring essential oils.

How often should I reapply?
For best protection, reapply every 2–3 hours, especially in hot, sweaty or wet conditions.

Can it be used all year?
Yes — anytime you need natural insect deterrence. In high pest seasons (e.g., tropical wet season), frequent application helps maintain results.
