Frequently asked questions
Is there a sunscreen with mozzie repellent I can buy in Australia?
Yes. ThermaSun Natural Mozzie Barrier combines 25% non-nano zinc oxide SPF50 sun protection with citronella oil and vanillin for natural insect-repelling properties. It's tinted, zinc-only and made in Queensland, ideal for camping and tropical travel.
Does citronella sunscreen actually keep mozzies away?
Citronella is a well-known natural insect deterrent. A citronella-containing sunscreen helps reduce mozzie interest while you're outdoors. In very high mosquito or disease-risk areas, also follow local health advice on dedicated repellents.
Should I apply sunscreen or repellent first?
Apply sunscreen first and let it settle, then any additional repellent. With a 2-in-1 like Mozzie Barrier, you get both in one step and simply reapply the sunscreen every 2 hours.
Is it reef safe for tropical swimming?
Yes. It's a zinc-only formula with no oxybenzone or octinoxate, so it's reef safe for swimming and snorkelling in tropical waters.
Is it suitable for kids on a camping trip?
It's a gentle zinc-only base with natural citronella. Patch-test on children first and follow the label. For very young children, check with your pharmacist about citronella use.
Why you can trust the zinc in ThermaSun
ThermaSun is built on ZinClear® XP — a pharmaceutical/cosmetic-grade, non-nano zinc oxide whose underlying technology was originally developed by researchers at the University of Western Australia and commercialised by Advance ZincTek (ASX:ANO), an Australian company formed in 1997. It’s the same Australian-made mineral active trusted by dozens of skincare brands worldwide.
Every ThermaSun sunscreen is then made in Queensland by VeganicSKN, is TGA listed (with its AUST L number printed on the pack and searchable on the ARTG), and is batch SPF tested on every production run. Zinc oxide is the broad-spectrum mineral UV filter the TGA recognises, and our zinc-only formulas contain no oxybenzone or octinoxate, so they’re reef safe.
ThermaSun is Australian made in Queensland by VeganicSKN. Always read the label and use only as directed. Sunscreen is one part of sun protection — combine with shade, clothing, a hat and sunglasses. Reapply at least every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating or towelling.
