Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

A tinted facial sunscreen that delivers SPF 50 protection with a touch of natural-looking colour. Ideal for a fresh-faced, makeup-free look with a radiant all-round glow. The 100% mineral formula offers broad-spectrum UV protection.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Combining zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, this tinted SPF shields against UVA and UVB rays to protect your skin from sun damage while giving you an even, radiant finish.

Infused with antioxidant-rich wild hibiscus and aniseed myrtle, plus nourishing coconut and golden jojoba oils, Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream blends effortlessly to soften redness and dullness.

With two adaptable shades, this lightweight sun cream doubles as a skin tint and is perfect for daily use, especially on minimal makeup days.

Made with reef-safe filters and certified with the Protect Land + Sea logo.

How To Use

You don’t need any brushes or sponges, simply use your fingers to apply this all over your face and neck.

Reapply every two hours or straight after swimming, bathing or towel drying.

Do not use on damaged or broken skin.

Ingredients

Aniseed Myrtle

From a rare Australian rainforest tree, this precious antioxidant improves skin hydration, is anti-inflammatory and has natural photo protective qualities that prevent those potent UV rays causing any damage. We’ve also paired it with wild hibiscus flower that not only slows down the loss of collagen and elastin, it’s another antioxidant-loaded champion.

Passion Flower Oil

It sounds pretty before you even realise what a beauty this ingredient is. Fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants – you name it, it will retain your skin’s natural moisture levels and make sure this product even works on drier complexions.

Zinc Oxide

A great mineral to reflect UV rays and bounce them back into the atmosphere rather than sinking into skin, it’s also a popular ingredient for getting rid of inflammation which is why you’ll find it in everything from spot treatments to nappy rash creams.

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

What is a tinted sunscreen?

A tinted sunscreen combines sun protection with a sheer tint to even skin tone and enhance radiance. Tropic’s Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream offers SPF 50 mineral protection with a natural-looking tint, so you get coverage and UV defence in one step.

What shade should I choose?

Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream is available in two adaptable shades designed to blend into a range of skin tones. If you're unsure, choose the lighter option for fair to medium complexions, and the darker for medium to deep tones. The formulas are buildable and blend seamlessly.

Can I use this tinted sunscreen with makeup?

Yes, it works beautifully as a lightweight base under foundation or on its own for a dewy, even-toned finish. Its smooth, silky texture also makes it easy to blend over makeup for SPF top-ups to stay protected throughout the day.

What’s the difference between Tropic SPF products?

Our sun protection range is designed to suit every skin need. Sun Day is a lightweight, broad-spectrum SPF that helps prevent daily UV damage and wears beautifully under makeup. For a touch of coverage, Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream offers SPF 50 protection and doubles as a sheer foundation.

Great Barrier – a water-resistant, lightweight body lotion suitable for all skin tones – is your go-to for sunny days outdoors. Or, if your skin is particularly fair or sensitive, Skin Shade Sun Cream is a 100% mineral, sweat-resistant option that’s gentle yet effective.

For on-the-go top-ups, Sun Stick glides on clear and can be used anywhere, anytime. And to keep delicate lips protected, Lip Shade combines broad-spectrum defence with deep conditioning care.

What does broad-spectrum mean?

Where most SPF focuses on protecting skin from UVB rays, broad-spectrum describes sunscreens that provide protection against both UVB (which cause burning and can contribute to skin cancer) and UVA rays (which cause skin-ageing). Our entire sun care range provides broad-spectrum protection to effectively defend skin against all harmful UV rays and support long-term health and vitality.

Is Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream SPF 50 suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes. This mineral-based, non-comedogenic formula uses lightweight ingredients like golden jojoba oil that help balance oil production without clogging pores. It’s a great tinted SPF moisturiser for oily and blemish-prone skin types.

Is Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream SPF 50 suitable for sensitive skin?

Absolutely. As a 100% mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, it’s gentle and fragrance-free, making it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.
