Mineral Sunscreen SPF50 80ml

This broad-spectrum SPF50 mineral sunscreen from Bee and You harnesses the power of non-nano Zinc Oxide alongside Anatolian Propolis — a richly antioxidant bee extract sourced from the pristine landscapes of Turkey. The mineral filter creates a physical UV-blocking shield on the skin's surface, protecting against both UVA and UVB rays without relying on synthetic chemical filters. Aloe Vera soothes and hydrates sun-exposed skin, while Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil provide lasting moisture. The lightweight lotion blends easily without leaving a white cast or greasy residue, and offers up to 80 minutes of water resistance — making it well-suited to outdoor and beach use. Free from parabens, preservatives, and reef-damaging chemicals.

Directions for use: Apply liberally to face and body 15–30 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

FAQs

What type of sunscreen is this?
It is a mineral (physical) sunscreen using non-nano Zinc Oxide as the active ingredient. This means it works by reflecting UV rays off the skin's surface rather than absorbing them, which is generally considered a gentler approach for sensitive skin types.

What SPF protection does it provide?
SPF50 broad-spectrum protection, guarding against both UVA and UVB radiation for comprehensive daily sun defence.

How long does the water resistance last?
The formula is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. It is recommended to reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

What is Anatolian Propolis and why is it in sunscreen?
Propolis is a natural resin collected by bees from plant buds and bark. Anatolian Propolis, sourced from Turkey, is particularly rich in antioxidants including quercetin and CAPE, which help protect skin cells from UV-induced oxidative stress and support the skin's natural recovery.

Is this sunscreen reef-safe?
Yes — the formula is based on non-nano Zinc Oxide, which is biodegradable and does not contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, or other chemicals associated with coral reef damage.
