Frequently asked questions
What is the best tinted zinc sunscreen in Australia with no white cast?
A tinted mineral sunscreen uses iron oxide pigments to offset the white cast of zinc oxide. ThermaSun Face & Body Tinted is a 25% non-nano zinc SPF50 tinted with iron oxides for a more natural finish, water resistant to 80 minutes and reef safe.
Does zinc sunscreen always leave a white cast?
Untinted zinc sunscreens can leave a white cast because zinc oxide is naturally white. Tinting with iron oxides reduces this and blends the product closer to skin tone, which is why tinted mineral sunscreens are popular for the face.
Can I use tinted sunscreen instead of foundation?
Many people use a tinted mineral sunscreen as a light base on its own or under makeup. It gives a sheer, even finish rather than full foundation coverage.
What do iron oxides do in sunscreen?
Iron oxides provide the tint and also add protection against visible light, which is useful for people prone to pigmentation or melasma. They're a well-established cosmetic colourant.
Is it reef safe and TGA listed?
Yes. It's a zinc-only formula with no oxybenzone or octinoxate, and is TGA listed under AUST L 525638, batch SPF tested every run.
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.
