Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

Your new daily sun saviour. This broad-spectrum SPF 50 facial sunscreen is enriched with brightening antioxidants, youth-enhancing hibiscus, and deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid, plus a fresh tropical scent of coconut and mango to kick-start your day.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Protecting against daily sun damage and free radicals that can cause premature ageing, this broad-spectrum, high protection sunscreen makes every day a little brighter.

Sun Day delivers powerful UVA & UVB protection while calming and comforting your complexion. Plant polymers create a smooth, lightweight finish that allows the formula to glide effortlessly over the face. Completely invisible on all tones with no white cast, it sits beautifully under makeup to keep your complexion shielded, soothed, and glowing.

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

40ml/15ml

How To Use

Apply Sun Day SPF all over your face every day, 15 minutes before sun exposure and before makeup if you wear it.

During periods of increased sun exposure or intensity, reapply your Sun Day Dewy Facial SPF at least every two hours or immediately after swimming, bathing, or towel drying.

Do not use on damaged or broken skin. Avoid intensive midday sun. Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight. Overexposure to the sun is a serious health threat.

Reducing the frequency or quantity of the product applied will lower the level of protection.

Please note: sun filters may stain clothing.

Ingredients

Hyaluronic Acid

A moisture magnet of an ingredient, this won’t let moisture escape and clings on to anything you apply that hydrates the skin too. Combined with aloe vera, your complexion will be smooth, plump and feel ultra fresh.

Hibiscus Extract

An antioxidant that fights free radicals from causing inflammation and damage, such as crumbling collagen, it also helps to boost elastin production. It’s also high in vitamin C to promote brighter-looking skin.

Plant Polymers

Rather than using silicone to create that flawless smooth finish, we use plant polymers that help the formula roll and glide onto skin.

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.

Is Sun Day suitable for daily use under makeup?

Absolutely - it's designed to wear beautifully under makeup thanks to its smooth, priming finish and fast-absorbing texture.

Does Sun Day leave a white cast?

Not at all. The formula is completely invisible once applied, making it suitable for all skin tones.

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.

Can Tropic sun creams be used on children and babies?

Our entire sun protection range is suitable for children aged 3+. However, our ultra-gentle Sun Stick can be used on babies 3 months+, and is perfect for quick top ups on delicate skin.

Is Sun Day Facial UV defence suitable for oily skin skin?

Yes, the lightweight, non-greasy formula is ideal for oily or combination skin. It provides high protection without clogging pores or leaving a heavy finish, helping to keep skin fresh, balanced and protected throughout the day.

Is Sun Day Facial UV defence suitable for sensitive and reactive skin?

Yes, it’s gentle enough for sensitive and reactive skin types. With soothing ingredients like banana flower extract and prebiotics to support the skin barrier, it helps calm and protect without irritation.

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.

The best facial SPF!!

"I absolutely love the Sun Day Dewy Facial SPF. It’s super light so doesn’t clog your pores. The texture is gorgeous so it just glides on. It gives you the most beautiful, healthy glow too.

Love this light and luscious

"Love this light and luscious smelling sun cream , my skin loves it too and I’ve been using it all summer. It really protects your skin, yet doesn’t feel sticky on your skin like some sun creams do, or too heavy . The one day that I didn’t have time to apply any I was out all day without any protection and it was really noticeable, my skin felt dry too, so I was able to compare . I love the body sun creams too and have already purchased this face sun cream again to use all year round . Definitely a win for me !"

Q&A

is this a mineral sunscreen that contains zinc oxide?: Hi Pari, thank you for getting in touch. Our Sun Day contains hybrid sun filters. Our Skin Shade tinted facial sun cream and Skin Shade sun lotion are mineral SPFs and both contain Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. We hope this helps.
Can this be used daily instead of the skin feast moisturiser I have used for years because that doesn’t have SPF in it. I have just been advised to use SPF everyday and don’t want to use two products for my daily routine as this is extra expense. It would be better to have SPF in your skincare moisturiser (skin feast) rather than separate products.: Hi Sam, thank you for getting in touch. Our Sun Day facial UV defence can be used in place of a daily moisturiser as it has many skincare benefits as well as also providing SPF protection from UVA and UVB rays. However, although sun protection is a vital step in your AM routine, it is not required overnight. We hope this helps!
Hi, is this spf greasy at all when its one or does it soak in well. I have combination skin so I've tried so many and can't find one I like at all. Does it hurt your eyes at all either x: Hi Tam, thank you for getting in touch. Our Sun Day facial UV defence is a lightweight texture suitable for combination skin as the banana flower extract and prebiotics calm and balance the skin, whilst protecting from UV damage. It can be applied all over the face, including near the eyes. Should you purchase a product that is not quite right for you, you are welcome to take advantage of our 30 Day Happiness Guarantee. We hope this helps!
What is exactly ‘reef safe sun filter’ please can I have the exact ingredients for this the names please! Are all your products 100%natual ?: Hi Andrea, thank you for getting in touch. The reef safe sun filters in our Sun Day facial UV defence are safe synthetics that are non toxic to the body and environment. You can find them on the full ingredients list as - diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, ethylhexyl triazone and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine. We hope this helps!
Does this product protect against both UVA and UVB? Thanks: Hi Jessica, thank you for getting in touch. Yes, our Sun Day facial UV defence does protect against UVA and UVB rays. We hope this helps!
Is Sun Day spf 50 suitable for protecting micro bladed brows dors it contain vitamin c or any brightening agents which may cause fading?: Hi Lin, thank you for getting in touch. Our Sun Day facial UV defence does not contain vitamin c in the formulation, however, we do have brightening antioxidants such as vitamin e, banana flower extract etc. These ingredients do not cause microblading or semi permanent tattoo to bleed or fade as they are not acidic or exfoliating. We hope this helps!
