🌞 Pure Mineral Sunscreen — Natural, Non-Toxic Protection for Problem & Sensitive Skin

by Charlene Kenny

Sun protection is essential every day, not just in summer — especially if you’re managing acne, rosacea, or using actives like retinol, AHA/BHAs or other exfoliants that make your skin more vulnerable to UV damage. Yet many sunscreens on the market use chemical filters and heavy formulas that can irritate, clog pores, or worsen redness.

That’s exactly why we created our Pure Mineral Sunscreen — Acne Safe, a natural, non-toxic SPF designed to protect without compromise — gentle enough for sensitive, reactive, and problem-prone skin.

🛡️ Why Mineral SPF Matters

Mineral sunscreens use zinc oxide — a physical blocker that sits on the skin’s surface and reflects UVA and UVB rays — rather than chemical filters that absorb into the skin. Dermatologists frequently recommend mineral sunscreens specifically for rosacea and sensitive skin because they’re less likely to cause irritation, stinging, or flare-ups compared with chemical alternatives. Healthline+1

Our formula uses 15% non-nano zinc oxide, which provides broad-spectrum coverage while staying kind to your skin and the environment — and because it’s non-nano, it won’t penetrate beyond the top layer of skin. Wikipedia

🌿 Clean, Skin-Friendly Formula — What’s Inside

This cream is formulated with a minimal, nourishing ingredient list to avoid irritation while supporting your skin’s barrier:

  • Non-Nano Zinc Oxide — effective physical SPF that protects, calms redness and helps minimise irritation.

  • Mango Seed Butter — rich in fatty acids to help nourish and support a healthy skin barrier without heaviness.

  • Jojoba Oil — mimics your skin’s natural oils, helping balance sebum production and making it excellent for acne-prone complexions.

  • Fractionated Coconut Oil — lightweight and fast-absorbing for a smooth, non-greasy finish.

  • Beeswax — creates a gentle protective layer to lock in moisture.

  • Arrowroot Powder — helps absorb excess shine and improves texture without clogging pores.

  • Vitamin E — antioxidant support for stressed or reactive skin. Farmstead Naturals

No chemical UV filters, fragrance, essential oils, alcohol, preservatives, silicones, or synthetic fillers — just thoughtful, gentle support for your skin. Farmstead Naturals

🌞 Designed for Real Skin Challenges

Whether your skin is:
✔️ Acne-prone and reactive
✔️ Rosacea-sensitive and easily inflamed
✔️ Using retinol, acids or exfoliants that increase sun sensitivity
✔️ Eczema-prone or generally sensitive
Our sunscreen works with your skin, not against it — giving protection without irritation.

Unlike some chemical sunscreens which can lead to burning or flare-ups, mineral zinc oxide is widely regarded as a gentler alternative — especially for everyday protective use. Healthline

💡 How to Use

Apply generously to clean, dry skin before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours, or after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. For best results, apply in thin layers and allow to absorb before makeup or clothing.

Even on cloudy days, up to 80 % of UV rays can still penetrate the skin — so daily sun protection should be non-negotiable.
