Surfpaste is a beautiful tinted sunscreen (SPF rating 30+) containing only certified organic ingredients and 38% non-nano zinc oxide. This sunscreen was created in Byron Bay by local surfer Tahlia Bourke. Her passion for the Ocean, environmental awareness and healthy living means she has always been drawn to natural, chemical free products that are nourishing for the skin while also being safe and clean for the ocean.
Surfpaste is vegan, palm oil-free, reef-safe & all natural with absolutely no hidden nasties. The ingredients chosen for the product are extremely beneficial for the skin and the high levels of antioxidants from the certified organic oils also protect and repair the skin from damage and premature aging. Surfpaste’s tinted zinc is suitable for all skin types and can also be helpful for anyone with sensitive or acne prone skin - the zinc oxide helps to soothe the inflammation and may reduce sebum production. So make sure you are well protected from the sun this summer and grab a tin of this sunscreen from one of our stores in Byron or Mullumbimby or on-line.
