What's the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreens?
Chemical sunscreens are formulated using a combination of organic chemicals that contain carbon, which act as UV filters. The active ingredients work by absorbing UV rays that hit the skin and converting them into heat, which is then released from the body. Mineral, or “physical” sunscreens use minerals such as Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide as their UV filter. Much of the information out there describes mineral sunscreens to work differently to chemical sunscreens, in that they reflect and scatter UV light. However, it’s important to note that this understanding comes from historical research when mineral particles were much larger. With new improvements in formulating mineral sunscreens (Micronised Zinc Technology) physical UV filters act in the same way as chemical UV filters, by absorbing UV light and converting them into heat.

What is Micronised Zinc Technology?
Micronised Zinc Technology, aka "non-nano", is a modern practice in formulating mineral, or Zinc Oxide only sunscreens. The term "micronised" refers to the size of the Zinc Oxide particles used in your sunscreen; not too large to leave a thick white cast and not too small to be considered a “nanoparticle”. This technology allows for better UVA protection and unlike older mineral sunscreen formulas, rubs in clear on the skin.

What is the difference between Mineral Zinc Stick SPF50+ and the Sticky Zinc SPF50+?
This is a different product to the best-selling Sticky Zinc SPF50+ , in that it is a 100% mineral-based formula. It is also made with Vitamin E for its antioxidant properties, with the addition of Castor Oil for ability to maintain hydration during sun exposure. This product is designed to have a thicker consistency, so does not have the same “spreadability” as the Sticky Zinc. The cult-favourite Sticky Zinc SPF50+ has a rich, creamy consistency, while the Mineral Zinc Sticks, though a solid stick, glides on smoothly and blends seamlessly into the skin, thanks to the emollients in the formula. Consistency wise the stick still retains a firmer feel compared to the creamier texture of the Sticky Zinc, though they both have a similar finish once applied to the skin.

Is your Mineral Zinc Stick SPF50+ safe to use on children and sensitive skin?
Yes, it is safe to use on children and babies 6 months + and for those with sensitive skin. However as with all new products, we recommend introducing all new products by starting with a small patch test. It is not recommended to apply sunscreen on babies under 6 months of age. Although of course if shade and clothing aren’t sufficient and you choose to introduce sunscreen, this product will be safe.

Are We Are Feel Good Inc. sunscreens water resistant?
Yes, all of their sunscreens are in line with the Australian and New Zealand Sunscreen Standard (AS/NZS) 2604:2021 for water resistant protection. It’s important to look at the individual water resistant protection claims for each product, as they can vary from 80 minutes to 4 hours. Please ensure you are following all usage instructions recommended by the TGA, despite any length of (water resistant) time claimed.

Do I need to use sunscreen everyday?
Applying sunscreen every morning should be an essential part of your daily routine. In fact, anytime the UV rating is above 3 (which it is in most parts of Australia every day of the year), you should be wearing an SPF. Up to 90% of skin aging and most skin cancers are caused by unprotected sun exposure. The damage is cumulative, and in Australia, can occur in as little as 10 minutes in the sun.

Hero Ingredients:
Castor Oil - a versatile ingredient in skincare, valued for its hydrating, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It is used as emollient in formulas so works to lock in moisture, helping to maintain hydration during sun exposure. Due to its unique water-binding properties, it helps the skin properly absorb other ingredients present in skincare formulations.

Vitamin E - one of the most popular ingredients in skincare, used for its antioxidant properties helping to neutralise free radical damage. When used in sunscreens, it can help to boost the effectiveness of UV filters, adding an extra layer of defence. Not to mention, it is incredibly moisturising!

Aloe Vera - not only acts as an emollient, but contains antioxidants which can help repair sun damage. Rich in Vitamins A, C, E and B12, its anti-inflammatory properties can reduce swelling and skin irritation.
