Summer is here – and with it comes the harsh, unrelenting New Zealand sun. That means hats, sunnies, shade and yes – sunscreen. 

Us Kiwis have a close relationship with the outdoors in New Zealand. We love to hike, surf, and enjoy being outside in nature. But with that comes the need for a sunscreen that is up to the task of protecting our bodies, while also protecting the great New Zealand outdoors.

The typical sunscreens we all use often contain harsh, harmful chemicals that, while protecting from sun damage, can irritate our skin and cause harm to the environment. Scientists argue that two key sunscreen ingredients in particular - oxybenzone and octinoxate - are harmful to coral reefs and marine life. Some countries have moved towards banning them.

Enter abeeco’s SPF50 Total Protection Face + Body Natural Sunscreen – a broad spectrum, natural sunscreen made with long days under the sun in mind. It contains active zinc oxide minerals to create a physical barrier that directly blocks UV rays from penetrating the skin. For those who don’t want to use unnatural products that irritate the skin and damage the environment this abeeco sunscreen product ticks all the boxes.

The abeeco sunscreen is fully tested and independently evaluated for Sun Protection Factor (SPF) at SPF50, against the Australian and New Zealand Standard (AZ/NZS 2604).

Jude Salisbury, Managing Director of abeeco, comments:

“My grandfather and father both died of melanoma and my husband has had several melanomas, therefore I need to be extra vigilant with my three blonde, blue-eyed boys given their genes!  I wanted to develop a sunscreen that I could have 100% confidence in, was thoroughly tested, and was kind to both the skin and the environment.  This sunscreen is bulletproof, and I personally wouldn’t trust anything else on my family.”

Abeeco’s SPF50 Total Protection Face + Body Natural Sunscreen is available online. Protect your skin and protect the environment.
