Not Just a Sunscreen...
When seeking sun protection, one of the first questions that comes to mind is, "Why should I choose this particular sunscreen?" Let us share with you what makes our product truly unique.
Plant Based, Not Water Based
Our sunscreen stands out because it’s plant oil-based rather than water (emulsion) based. But why is this so special? The answer lies in how our skin naturally functions.
Our skin is naturally water-repellent, which is a good thing—it keeps our body's nutrient-rich fluids in and external water out. If this weren't the case, a simple rain shower could cause chaos, and bathing might even be hazardous! However, while our skin repels water, it welcomes plant oils. This is because our skin is lipophilic (oil-loving) and readily absorbs nourishing plant oils.
Unlike water-based emulsions that rely on surfactants to break down water's surface tension (which can be harmful and even carcinogenic), our oil-based formula works in harmony with your skin's natural preferences. Water-based products also require preservatives to prevent bacterial and mould growth, and emulsifiers to mix the oil and water. Our sunscreen, being anhydrous (water-free), naturally avoids these issues. The essential oils we use are inherently antibacterial and antifungal, so no harmful additives are needed in our natural sunscreen.
Long-Lasting Protection
Because our sunscreen is lipophilic, it effectively bonds with the outer layers of the skin. Once applied, it doesn’t wash off or towel off easily. In fact, it adheres to your skin the moment you apply it—even underwater! Try that with a water-based sunscreen, and it would simply wash away. This means our sunscreen is perfect for surfers who want to stay sun safe all day! It's also perfect for people who love outdoor adventures without the hassle of needing to reapply constantly.

Commitment to Natural Ingredients
We prioritise natural ingredients wherever possible. This isn't just a choice; it’s a core philosophy of CoSkin. Natural ingredients offer more than just the primary active components—they provide a safe environment for these actives to work, leading to fewer side effects than synthetic alternatives. The plant world offers a vast array of healing agents, and science is only just beginning to uncover their potential. By choosing natural ingredients, we embrace nature’s intelligence rather than assuming we can do better.
