Ocean Freedom

For days spent out in the sun, protecting your skin from UV rays is essential. Sunburn, skin cancer and premature aging of the skin are more than good enough reasons to apply copious amounts of sunscreen lotion.

For sporty, outdoor people who sweat and/swim, nothing beats Ocean Freedom's range of mineral sunscreen products. The two - of their many products - that we use the most are the water-resistant Surf Clay (for face and nose especially) and their Active Sunscreen SPF 50+ (arms, legs, neck).

We love Ocean Freedom for three main reasons:

• As a mineral sunscreen that contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, it sits on top of the skin providing broad-spectrum protection from UVA (premature aging and damage) and UVB (sunburn) rays.
• It is water-resistant, a much-needed property when you're swimming or dripping with sweat. When reapplication is a challenge, a product that is effective for longer is a win.
• As a product much-loved by surfers and open-water swimmers, we appreciate that Ocean Freedom's ingredients include reef friendly minerals and not harmful chemicals.
