On a mission to contribute to change, Suntribe offers a new generation of natural sunscreen products. Its award-winning sunscreens protect your skin, your health, and the planet – all at once, without any question marks.

Swedish brand Suntribe was founded in 2016, by a group of friends who saw a gap in the market for sunscreen products. “Having lived in Australia for several years, when coming back to Europe I was surprised that I couldn’t buy mineral sunscreen anywhere,” says co-founder Karl Roos.

The pioneering founders developed the original recipe that is still used for the brand’s Zinc Sticks and Zinc Tins. The idea is straight-forward: Suntribe never uses dangerous or synthetic chemicals, or any unnecessary ingredients. Its products are effective, safe and gentle – on both skin and nature.

“Our mission is to contribute to change. We want to help reduce the number of chemical sunscreens being used in the industry, by providing a worry-free natural alternative,” says Roos. “At the outset, we focused on surfers, like ourselves, but eventually broadened the customer base. Now our products appeal to anyone who wants to switch to natural and mineral based sunscreens, including adrenaline-seeking surfers, weekend hikers and laidback beachgoers.”

Suntribe’s sunscreens are made of natural minerals that protect from both harmful UVA and UVB rays, and stay on the surface of your skin instead of being absorbed – acting as a physical barrier. Ideal in particular for sensitive skin, children and during pregnancy, mineral sunscreens are also considered the safest choice for marine life.

“63 per cent of ingredients in the most popular chemical sunscreens in Europe are classified as dangerous for human health and/or the environment,” explains Roos. “Mineral sunscreens, however, are much healthier and bear no risk to human health or the planet’s well-being when formulated with the right ingredients. They also offer additional benefits, such as instant sun protection after application.”

Suntribe’s Organic Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 has been named Best Reef-Friendly Sunscreen by Daily Mirror, praised for the organic ingredients and coconut scent. Another award-winning product is the naturally vanilla-scented Baby and Kids Mineral Sunscreen, which has been named Best Sun Cream by THE MUM MARKETPLACE.

The newest addition to the line-up is Organic Mineral UV Shield SPF 50, a daytime essential that has already won awards, for instance silver in the Best Non-Toxic Skincare category at the TMM Awards. The 100 per cent natural UV Shield will not clog your pores or leave your skin greasy – perfect to wear under makeup or on its own. “The UV Shield is our first ever invisible SPF 50 sunscreen, with zero tint and zero additives” adds Roos. “It marks the beginning of a new generation of sunscreen from Suntribe.”
