What do you get when you mix the world’s coolest SPF brand with a hungry Australian appetit for SPF? A stonkin' great body and hand SPF from Ultra Violette, the cool gals of sunscreen. Ultra lightweight, with just a hint of shimmer for barely-there day-time-glam and a generous SPF50+ rating plus 4 hour water resistant, this is the sunscreen for people who want to protect themselves against both ageing and burning, but who aren’t willing to compromise on their top-to-toe slathering.

When should I use Ultra Violette Extreme Screen Body Sunscreen SPF50+?

Every gosh-darn day, people! What’s extra great about the Ultra Violette Extreme Screen Body Sunscreen SPF50+ is that you can use it daily, safe in the knowledge that the 4 hour water-resistancy of this product makes it just as good at a post-office pool dip, as a weekend beach-hang, as a Monday morning walking meeting around the block. Ultra Violette has your back.

What is the texture and smell of this sunscreen?

It’s a light to medium lotion, so won’t feel greasy or heavy on the skin and it smells like the faintest blush of coconut, aka the scent of summer!

What should I get excited about?

Apart from a fantastic texture, this bad boy is also chock full of Vitamin E and Aloe Vera to hydrate, cool and soothe your skin. It also has a hint of radiance throughout it, so your skin will look glowy and wonderful year-round.

Can I use this on my hands?

Please do! This makes an excellent hand cream with SPF, for use while driving, out and about or just at your desk.

Is this oxybenzone free?

Yes sirree, this baby is reef safe and oxybenzone free. While we’re at it, this is also a paraben free sunscreen, a cruelty free sunscreen and grease-free sunscreen. Bonus!

How much sunscreen should I apply?

More is more. You’ll want to aim for 30ml (a shot glass full) for a full body application, according to the Australian Cancer Council. This is not the time to scrimp!

This also comes in a conveniently small, purse sized 30mL version.

As with all SPF products, you should ensure you read the label, and follow directions for use included on this label, before use.  

The Important Bits you need to know about this oh-so-fab SPF product:
