SMIDGE SUNCARE SUNSCREEN

14 million kilos of sunscreen end up in the world's ocean every year.

Did you know that chemical UV blockers ( such as oxybenzone, butylparaben, octinoxate and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor) commonly used in sunscreens have all been shown to cause coral bleaching? 

Smidge was born out of a desire to reduce the amount of pollution from sunscreen chemicals and plastic bottles entering our oceans. Protecting the environment is at the heart of what Seasick do.

This gentle formulation delivers broad spectrum SPF30 protection, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and nurtured. This product is suitable for daily use and won't give you chemical induced irritations or sting your eyes making it perfect for snorkelling, SCUBA diving and free diving.

Directions: A little goes a long way! Conventional sunscreens are made with a lot of water however our formula is water-free so goes 2-3 times further. Start with a pea-sized blob and warm it up in your palms before applying. Apply at least every 2 hours, keep out of direct sunlight.
