Shade's SPF25 is an all-natural mineral sunscreen designed for everyday protection with a simple, minimalist formula that is gentle on both skin and planet. Made with just four carefully chosen ingredients, it provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection using non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral filter that sits on the skin’s surface to reflect harmful rays rather than relying on chemical absorbers.
 
Created by Shade, this multi-award-winning sunscreen has been recognised by Ethical Consumer as one of the UK’s leading ethical sunscreen brands and is notably free from palm oil derivatives. The rich balm-like formula combines non-nano zinc oxide with organic shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax to create a nourishing sunscreen suitable for sensitive and reactive skin.
 
Designed for more than just sunny days, Shade also works as a versatile all-year skin balm. The moisturising formula can help soothe dry skin, chapped hands and lips, after sun exposure, itchy bites and areas prone to irritation, making it a practical addition to everyday skincare.
 
Unlike many conventional sunscreens, Shade contains no synthetic fragrances, chemical UV filters or unnecessary additives. The formula is reef-safe, plastic-free and packaged in recyclable tins, offering a lower waste alternative to bottled sunscreen products.
 
Available in both a pocket-sized 15ml tin and a larger 100ml tin, the smaller version can also be refilled from the larger tin to help reduce packaging waste over time. Compact, effective and thoughtfully formulated, Shade SPF25 is a simple and reliable choice for everyday natural sun protection.
