THE ALL NATURAL SOLUTION

All MOTHER SPFs natural ingredients are sourced from known and trusted suppliers. MOTHER SPF only uses 9 ingredients because she believes less is more. 

MOTHER SPF is formulated differently from your usual, run of the mill sunscreens – We use no water, while other sunscreens can contain up to 85% water. The absence of water means MOTHER SPF requires no preservatives, since microorganisms are unable to grow in a water-free environment (if you don’t know, now you know).

Bonus: They require none of the other synthetic compounds required when water is present - emulsifiers, stabilisers and thickeners. In short, when we made the decision to say bye to water, we made room for pure ingredients - unrefined, and unchanged from their natural form. 

Benefits

MOTHER SPF utilises a breakthrough technology which allows Zinc Oxide particles to remain highly transparent on the skin. These particles have a porous surface texture, like a sea sponge, so they don't reflect as much visible light as standard non-nano zinc oxide particles and are therefore less whitening on the skin.

These micronized Zinc Oxide particles offer the same outstanding safety and efficacy of standard non-nano zinc oxide meaning it won't absorb into your skin, it won't harm the environment, and it provides excellent photostable broad spectrum protection from UV rays.

In the heartbreaking circumstance that you do notice a white cast. It should be minimal and we recommend warming MOTHER between your hands before application as this makes it easier to rub into your skin and allows for a smoother makeup application that will last the length of the day.


How to Use

Hopefully, apply liberally every single day for the rest of your life, in the AM after skincare and before makeup. Reapply every 2 hours and after activities involving water (or sweat).

After skincare, apply 1/4th a teaspoon of MOTHER AUS SPF to the entire face and massage into the skin. Wait 2 minutes to let the ingredients work their magic and apply makeup over top if desired. MOTHER AUS SPF is designed for the body too (bonus round!), so don’t be shy to smother MOTHER AUS SPF anywhere and everywhere for broad-spectrum protection.

Avoid prolonged sun exposure, and make sure you re-apply frequently in accordance with directions. Remember, sunscreen is only one component of sun protection so always wear a hat, protective clothing and eyewear when you’re in the sun.

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE.Caution: Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use on damaged or broken skin. For external use only. Complies with AS/NZS2604:2021

About MOTHER SPF

Mother SPF is a female-founded brand based in Western Australia. MOTHER SPF was born out of necessity when a few years back, Tandia’s mother was diagnosed with Cancer.

After extensive research to help her mother reduce the amount of toxic chemicals in her skincare whilst undergoing treatment, Tandia discovered how nasty some conventional skincare products can be and couldn’t find a mineral sunscreen suitable for everyday wear, so she decided to be a boss lady and make her own.
