Seasick Sunscreen

BETTER FOR YOU AND THE PLANET - PLASTIC-FREE SUNSCREEN AND
SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

Seasick was born out of the desire to reduce the amount of pollution from sunscreen chemicals and plastic bottles entering our oceans. Protecting the environment is at the heart of what we do - that's why we take a holistic approach to sustainability.

Up to 70% of a chemical sunscreen is water. Counter-intuitive? Yes, water is a precious resource and that's why Seasick Sunscreen doesn't contain any! This also means a little goes a long way. 

Plastic is choking our oceans. Given up plastic bags and straws? ... Let us help you make your skincare more sustainable! The aluminium tins are reusable or recyclable, the labels are made of paper.

While you won't find palm oil listed on the ingredients, Seasick's makers are required to declare that some of our ingredients MAY contain Roundtable Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).  RSPO certification is an assurance that the standard of palm oil production is sustainable.

They have carefully selected a simple list of naturally-derived ingredients that are safe for your body (yes the sunscreens are safe for babies and children) and better for the planet too. The health of the environment is at the heart of every decision they make which is why they do not use chemical UV filters, we avoid nano-particles and our sunscreen is plastic free.

Using non-nano zinc oxide as the only active ingredient in our sunscreen is incredibly important to us! Why? Because safer for both you and the environment than chemical UV filters, titanium dioxide and nano zinc oxide.

Moisturising, healing and non-greasy. What more do we need to say really.

14,000 tonnes of sunscreen end up in the world's ocean every year

Did you know that chemical UV blockers ( such as oxybenzone, butylparaben, octinoxate and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor) commonly used in sunscreens have all been found in marine life, surface seawater and sand? 14 million tonnes of sunscreen is estimated to enter the ocean every year (Downs et al. 2016).
