Surfmud

By now, most of us know that the sun emits ultraviolet (UV) rays that are harmful to the skin. They can cause sunburn, premature ageing, and even skin cancer. That's why using sunscreen is a must, especially for people who are exposed to the sun all day long while you're outdoors having fun. This is especially important for surfers who are out for long hours in the sunshine.

Finding a sunscreen that goes on smoothly and stays on while you're out catching waves can be hard. Many sunscreens contain chemicals that can damage our marine environment, so finding a natural and safe option to protect our oceans is a must.

Australian Made Natural Zinc Sunscreen Developed By Surfers

Unable to find a sunscreen they loved, Aussie surfers from the Sunshine Coast set out to make the best zinc sunscreen they could. The founders set out to create a natural sunscreen that would be gentle on the skin and provide long lasting protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays. After years of research and development, they finally created a formula that met their stringent standards, and Surfmud was born. The result is a natural zinc based sunscreen made by surfers that's suitable for all types of skin.

Made for active lifestyles, Surfmud is a TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) registered natural mineral sunscreen designed to have great staying power under the sun and in the water, offering broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 30 protection. Surfmud is a zinc based mineral sunscreen that's perfect for ocean lovers. It's also great for family use, and their natural baby sunscreen is designed for babies six months and older.

Surfmud is hypoallergenic, free from harmful ingredients, reef safe, not tested on animals, and packed in recyclable low impact packaging. It’s also water resistant for four hours, so you can enjoy your time in the ocean without worrying about reapplying every hour. It goes on clear when applied to the skin, too. Hello Charlie researched this brand, so we know it’s a complete package.

What Makes Surfmud Eco Friendly and Sustainable?

Testing on animals? No way. Surfmud believes there are other ways to test their physical sunscreen products and ensure they're safe for humans, so Surfmud tests on surfers, instead!

Surfmud’s non toxic sunscreen products are reef safe, too. Reef safe sunscreens don't contain harmful chemicals that could damage or kill coral reefs. Coral reefs are crucial in the marine ecosystem because they provide food and sanctuary for different creatures. When you use reef safe sunscreen, you’re helping to protect these important habitats.

Sustainable Surfmud Ingredients and Materials

Surfmud's zinc oxide sunscreen doesn't have chemical UV filters that may irritate the eyes. They're also free from petrochemicals, parabens, PABA (para aminobenzoic acid), preservatives, silicones, mineral oils, and artificial fragrances. This means they're created and formulated without chemicals that could potentially harm you and your family.

Surfmud's natural zinc sunscreen has been approved by the TGA in Australia. This means that it has been tested and found to be effective and safe to use under Australia's harsh sun.

This type of sunscreen contains zinc oxide, a natural mineral that helps to reflect and scatter UV rays away from the skin. Zinc oxide particles are large enough that they cannot be absorbed into the skin, so they sit on top of it while creating a protective barrier between the skin and the sun.

Surfmud mineral based sunscreens are also made with natural ingredients like jojoba oil and Australian beeswax. The benefits of using these natural ingredients are that they’re less likely to cause skin irritation, provide better protection against the sun, and help to keep your skin hydrated.

What SPF is Surfmud natural zinc?

SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, is the amount of protection a sunscreen provides against ultraviolet (UV) rays. The higher the SPF, the more protection it offers. The Surfmud natural zinc based lotion has SPF30, which means it protects your skin from the sun's rays 30 times better than if you weren't wearing any sunscreen.
