O Cosmedics Mineral Pro SPF 30+
I am so excited because after extensive research, I have found the most fantastic sunscreen to stock at The Sanctuary in Neutral Bay/Cremorne, Sydney. In the past couple of weeks, I have trialled it on our clients and 100% have come back saying that they really like it and many have asked “when can I get it?”. It’s available tinted or untinted. This is it:

So, why did I choose this particular sunscreen?
I chose O Cosmedics Mineral Pro SPF 30+ with zinc oxide for a number of reasons. Here is my top 10 for you:
- It uses all natural, physical ‘sun screen’ to protect your skin from UV rays.
- It is made from 20% natural micronized zinc oxide
- It is a non-comedogenic sunscreen so won’t clog your pores
- It’s suitable for sensitive skin
- It’s a broad spectrum sunscreen, meaning it blocks out UVA and UVB rays. So, it uniformly covers from 290 to 380 nm, thus protecting against UVB and most of the UVA spectrum
- There are no chemicals, no parabens
- It also has anti ageing moisturising properties
- It has a lovely soft toffee vanilla scent
- It’s a non-greasy suncreen and does not feel heavy on the skin
- It has a transparent finish. So there is no skin whitening like some other Zinc oxide based products have.
The product is fortified with anti ageing ingredients Resveratrol and enriched with Palmitoyl oligopeptide.
- Reservatol is a potent antioxidant found in the skin of red grapes and is a constituent of red wine. It’s produced as a part of a plant’s defence system against disease. Studies have shown it has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. It protects DNA from free radical damage.
- Palmitoyl Oligopeptide (BioPeptide CL) stimulates collagen production, encourages the boosting of natural hyaluronic acid levels and reinforces the epidermis which helps to diminish wrinkles.
