Active ingredient: Zinc oxide 245mg/g Other ingredients: Caprilic capric triglyceride, Ricinus communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Theobroma cacao (Cocoa butter), Copernicia prunifera (carnauba) wax, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Euphorbia Cerifera (candelilla) wax, Tocopherol acetate, Iron oxides
THE GOOD STUFF:
Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide is a powdered mineral that sits on top of the skin, scattering, reflecting, and absorbing UVA & UVB rays. Zinc Oxide is the safest and most effective active sunscreen ingredient to give broad spectrum protection.
Castor Oil
Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis). We use castor oils because of it’s high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids. Castor oil has many powerful benefits on the skin and we use it because of it’s natural protection.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil has a natural SPF and contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from harmful radiation from the sun.
Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is high in fatty acids, which is why it’s often touted for its ability to hydrate and nourish the skin and improve elasticity.
Carnauba Wax
Carnauba wax comes from the leaves of the carnauba palm, a plant that grows in northeastern Brazil. In hot, dry weather, the palm secretes wax to protect its leaves from damage. We use it in our sunscreen for natural skin protection
Simmondsia chinensis oil (jojoba)
Jojoba Oil is full of nutrients and antioxidants, and also helps tame inflammation, soothe sunburn, and is gentle and protective on the skin
Carnauba Wax
An odourless hypoallergenic wax suitable for all skin types. It’s especially good for sensitive skin.
Sunscreen FAQ:
Is your sunscreen preservative free?
Yes. We don’t use any chemical or synthetic preservatives within hello sunshine… and by that we mean Nothing. Zero. None. Nada. Zilch. Zip.
Does your sunscreen contain parabens?
Absolutely not. We don’t believe in using parabens within any of our product range. Parabens are possible endocrine disrupters and while they are what gives the sunscreen a smooth glide on finish we believe we have been able to achieve this with using naturally based ingredients like silica and fractionated coconut oil.
Does this FACESTICK stain clothes?
It should not stain clothes since it does not contain organic solar absorbers which are renowned for fabric staining. However this is fabric dependent and we encourage you to test this for yourself as we cannot offer guarantees about clothes staining.
Is your FAESTICK nano or non nano?
We have chosen a zinc oxide within our sunscreen that is not a nano zinc oxide. However, the sunscreen may contain nano particles. To explain, all powders contain nano particles in small amounts, every zinc oxide source will contain low concentrations of sub nano particles, this has always been the case. The zinc oxide that we use is called micronised, this means that it is not predominantly nano. We have chosen the highest quality zinc oxide that we have been able to source for our sunscreen.
Is your FACESTICK water resistant?
Yes but as per instructions needs to be re-applied frequently after swimming.
What age can I use THE hello sunshine FACESTICK from?
Hello Sunshine can be used safely from 6+ months.
Is your FACESTICK TGA approved and tested?
Yes.
Is Hello Sunshine FACESTICK ‘reef friendly?’
There is some scientific evidence that oxybenzone, a sunscreen active, could be contributing to coral bleaching. We don’t use oxybenzone in any of our products.

So handy for my handbag, the kids school bags. Goes on really easily, and seems to be really effective, even for my super sensitive boy! Love it!
Sofia Krylova-Smith (verified owner) –
A little hard to apply unless it’s warmed up a little, otherwise works well, smalls nice and did not cause any skin reactions, so pretty much a total win!
Belinda (verified owner) –
I have a sunscreen hating child. She loves this sunscreen. It lives in her school bag and she willingly applies it each day – small miracles!
Amy O’Neill (verified owner) –
My daughter started school this year and this is perfect for her bag so she can quickly reapply her sunscreen at play times, rubs in clear and so easy for her to use
Alex Edwards (verified owner) –
Really happy with these. Got them to put in my kids school bags and they love having their own special sunscreen that’s easy to apply! And I have peace of mind knowing they’re not slathering themselves in harmful chemicals found in standard sunscreens.
Catherine Downs (verified owner) –
My 2 year old loves putting this on and it’s small enough for her to work around. I love that it’s so effective against sunburn and easy to carry. It’s consistency is good as well as it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb like other zinc does.

We used the stick on our faces at the beach. Once warmed easy to apply (my 4 year old even did hers!) Lasted in the water. We will be popping in her bag for kindergarten. Great product
Natalie (verified owner) –
We’ve tried a number of natural sunscreens and none are comparable to this one. We’ve just spent a week at the Gold Coast, we used this all week and none of us got burnt at all (and we all burn easily!). My kids love the face stick – it’s really easy to apply. Next time we might try the tinted one as this one even makes our white skin look whiter. Lol
