How to use

Do not rely on this formula for sun protection. Use a tested, broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 30 or higher sunscreen, along with shade and protective clothing.

Why we chose a mineral-based formula

Our interest in mineral-based care began with zinc oxide, a well-studied ingredient used in tested sunscreens. Mineral-only sunscreens are often recommended for sensitive skin, although comfort and tolerability depend on the complete formula.

Environmental questions also matter to us. Research into sunscreen ingredients and aquatic ecosystems continues, and mineral ingredients alone do not establish that a product is reef-safe. We make no reef-safety claim for our formulas.

I have personally used my mineral or sun tint formulations since 2017 without issues. This is my individual experience; skin reactions can differ, and it does not establish safety or sun protection for anyone else.

Where our Mineral Tint stands

Our Mineral Tint formulas remain in development. SPF and broad-spectrum protection require testing of the finished product and have not been established for either version. The balm’s water resistance has not been verified. Please use a tested, broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 30 or higher sunscreen for sun protection.

The ingredients and why they matter

Development formula; these are ingredient highlights. Sun protection and water resistance are unverified. Use a tested sunscreen.

Zinc oxide

A mineral UV filter used in tested sunscreens. Its presence in this development formula does not establish SPF, UVA protection or water resistance.

Shea butter

A rich emollient that softens dry-feeling areas and gives the balm body.

Beeswax

Gives the balm structure and a protective-feeling coating. Water resistance has not been verified.

MCT oil

A lightweight emollient that adds slip and helps the balm spread.

Golden jojoba oil

A liquid wax that softens skin and helps the balm spread smoothly.

Premixed mineral tint

Adds color and adjusts the cosmetic finish; it does not establish sun protection.

Ingredient research & references

Background reading on ingredients and other formulations; not proof of this finished product’s performance.

Care and storage

SPF, UVA protection, water resistance and finished-product stability have not been established. A zinc oxide percentage or visible tint cannot establish an SPF rating.

A finished-product shelf life has not been established here. Ask us for batch-specific use-by guidance. Changes in smell, color or texture are reasons to stop using the product. Skin products: try a small area first and stop if irritation occurs.
