Natural Face Moisturising Sunscreen
"I would buy a ton of this cream! Soleo succeeded in creating a mineral sunscreen that feels like a chemical sunscreen: no greasy feel, no terrible white effect! It offers great protection (read their very interesting and insightful blog article about spf 30 and 50). I love the natural scent in this one, it mildly smells like rose (and I don't usually love rose scent!). Another great detail about this cream: super soothing, it calms red/inflamed skin." - Roberta (Clean Beauty Awards)

Zinc Oxide
We use a special form of “micronised” zinc oxide, which means unlike common zinc, it becomes transparent when applied to the skin. Zinc oxide is a preferred sunscreen active because it is a very stable UV-reflector. It allows us to produce very high protection, cosmetically acceptable sun care products that won’t leave your skin white.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Does face sunscreen last all day?
- We know washing off your makeup and reapplying the sunscreen and your makeup again is not very likely to happen. The reality is the Cancer Council recommends reapplying your sunscreen every 2-3 hours, and this is what we recommend if you spend much time in the sun. However for most people spending most of their time inside they should be ok applying once a day. Please just bear in mind, getting your face wet can wash away the protection, and sweating can play a similar role. If you will be spending much time in the sun it's much better to be safe than sorry.
-
Is face SPF important?
- Arguably face SPF is most important where skincare is concerned, as your face is the most exposed to ultra violet radiation in day to day life so can show the signs of aging more than other parts of the body which are covered up most of the time. While you may not get burned, the longer term impact of UVA radiation on your skin is a consistent threat, both in terms of skin aging (photoaging & oxidation) and in terms of skin cancer. Soléo sunscreens protect against both the UVA rays and the UVB rays. Soléo Face sunscreen include anti-aging plant based ingredients such as argan oil and rosehip oil to care for your skin and keep you looking younger for longer.
-
How often should I use it?
- We recommend that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen every day to protect from the effects of ultra violet radiation. The Cancer Council recommends that you apply prior to any UV exposure and reapply every two to three hours. We know this isn't realistic daily though. We recommend you apply each morning as part of your skincare routine, prior to putting on your foundation to give yourself daily protection from the UVA rays that contribute to skin aging, but ensure that you reapply every few hours if you spend a considerable time in the sun or after bathing etc.
-
What are UVA rays?
- The sun releases ultraviolet rays on the earth, invisible rays that you can't see. There are three types UVA, UVB and UVC. UVA rays and UVB rays both contribute to skin cancer while UVC rays are stopped entirely by the atmosphere, the only form of exposure to these are from artificial means such as welding. UVB rays penetrate the top layer of skin and can cause sunburn, while UVA rays enter deeper into skin causing skin aging (photoaging). UVA protection is especially important for your face, as UVA rays can travel even through the cloud cover and glass, and lead to long term damage including breaking down the elastin and the connective tissue under the skin, resulting in wrinkles.
-
How much face SPF should I use?
- A little bit goes a long way with Soléo Face sunscreen, we recommend generally that you apply 2.5ml or approximately half a teaspoon. That is assuming you are only applying to the face, if you are also applying to the body, we recommend applying proportionally more.
-
Can you use face sunscreen on your body?
- Yes, generally facial sunscreens are formulated to be suitable for the more sensitive skin on your face. But they are completely suitable for use as a normal body sunscreen as well. The biggest difference made by using a facial sunscreen on the rest of your body is the cost. Face sunscreens are normally more expensive than regular body sunscreens as they have more specialised ingredients.
-
Which SPF is best for face?
- It's always best to look for SPF 30 or higher. Most people are surprised to learn that SPF50 only offers 1.4% more UV protection than SPF30 at the cost of a high concentration of chemicals. More important is that you apply properly and that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen. Broad spectrum sunscreens protect your skin against both UVA and UVB rays from the sun. This is important because while a normal sunscreen will protect your face from burning, only a broad spectrum sunscreen will protect your skin from long term skin damage including wrinkles, while still preventing sunburn.
-
Is it okay to use body sunscreen on your face?
- This is okay with Soléo sunscreens as they are all natural and hypoallergenic. With our Face sunscreen, we focus mainly on providing better moisturisation using Argan and Rosehip oil to support your skincare while not blocking your pores, and on not interfering with your makeup. This may not necessarily be ok with other brands though. The skin on your face is 10x more sensitive than your body to irritation, especially in the epidermis layer (the outer layer of skin). Most brands make facial sunscreens to be suitable for the more sensitive skin on the face. Depending on the brand, it can be important to check the ingredients and the manufacturer's instructions in this area. With many brands, only the face sunscreens are formulated for the sensitivity of the face. When you need a water resistant sunscreen, we recommend using our Soléo Original High Performance sunscreen, which is perfect for a day at the beach when you need higher protection.
-
Why use a face specific SPF?
- Face specific sunscreens are created specifically for the more sensitive skin on the face. They often also combine moisturising ingredients, to double as a moisturiser for your skincare regime. Soléo Face sunscreen use nourishing and moisturising Argan oil and rosehip oil which are non-comodogenic, so it doesn't block the pores of your skin. It is hypoallergenic, so ideal for sensitive skin. Some face sunscreens are also tinted to give your complexion more even colouring.
-
Can I wash it off easily?
- This sunscreen is formulated to be easily washed off at the end of the day.
-
Is it good to moisturise your face daily?
- Moisturising daily is associated with a whole host of skin benefits and can help heal skin blemishes and is recommended by most dermatologists. Argan oil and rosehip oil are great antiaging natural ingredients to look for in a face moisturising sunscreen. Many dermatologists also recommend that you buy a moisturiser that doubles as a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15 protection.
