Sunscreen and Chemists NZ: A Buying Guide
Sara's Recommendation: Mineral Sunscreen Advice from Waihi Beach Chemist
I spoke to Sara, the pharmacist from Waihi Beach Chemist, about what she looks for in a sunscreen. Specifically, as a pharmacist who has kids with sensitive skin and eczema, what does she recommend to her customers? Here's what she said...
- Mineral sunscreens are better than chemical sunscreens as they are gentle on eczema and sensitive skin.
- She looks for a sunscreen that doesn’t leave the skin shiny or a white cast.
- Convenient and practical packaging to avoid messy spills and leaks is a must!
What Sara loves about Seasick Sunscreen is that:
- The only active UV filter is non-nano zinc oxide (making it a mineral sunscreen) that's safe for eczema and sensitive skin.
- It rubs in well so no greasy feel or a white cast.
- The compact tins are convenient for school bags!
📍 Seasick Sunscreen is now available in Waihi Beach Chemist and Wellworks Pharmacy in Wellington. If you are a pharmacist or you would like to see our products stocked in your local chemist then please get in touch.
