Sunscreen and sun protection for sunny days

Keep one in the bathroom and one in your bag. With our famously low prices on sunscreen and sun protection accessories, you can always be ready for a day out.

Sun protection for every outing

Away from home and looking for somewhere to get sunscreen nearby? We have a range of sunscreen and sun protection accessories to help you stock up for the beach, pool, park, outdoor sports or any long summer day outside.

Sunscreen for everyday wear

It’s good to get into the habit of putting on sunscreen, even on days you won’t be outdoors for long. When you are on the go, we have spray, lotion and face sunscreens so you have an easy option that suits whatever you’re doing.

Zinc for a bit of colour and cover

Sports day, carnivals and Little Nippers call for zinc. Because zinc formulas are often thicker, it can help them stick around for longer when you or the kids are in and out of the water, and has that iconic look too.

Sun sleeves and accessories for outdoor activities

When being slippery isn’t ideal, sun protection sleeves can also give you some extra coverage. Also known as sport or UV sleeves, they’re easy to slip on while you play sports or before driving around on those sunny days.

Sun protection FAQs

How often should I reapply sunscreen?

It’s recommended you reapply sunscreen every two hours. You should also reapply after swimming, sweating or drying off with a towel as the product can rub off quicker. Where possible, combine sunscreen with other methods of sun protection, like shade, hats and clothing.

What's the difference between sunscreen and zinc?

While sunscreen is the finished sun protection product, zinc oxide is an active ingredient used in specific mineral sunscreens. Mineral sunscreens with zinc are thicker, allowing them to sit on the skin to help protect against UVA and UVB rays. Chemical sunscreens without zinc absorb into the skin to do their job.

How do I store sunscreen?

Sunscreen should be stored in a cool, dark place, kept out of direct heat or sunlight. As heat can affect the formula, avoid storing it in the car or sitting in the sun at the beach. It’s always best to check the expiry date before using, and replace if the consistency, smell or texture has changed.
