They layer over a finished base for targeted warmth on the cheekbones, nose and jaw, and go neat over bare skin when you want tone and protection from one product.

Here the tinted moisturiser, the concealer, and the bronzer stick are all non-nano Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide formulas at SPF 50, so anything you do to the makeup is also happening to the sun protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Which shade combination should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Match your tinted moisturiser and concealer shades to each other rather than choosing the concealer a step lighter, since in a mineral tinted formula going lighter than your own tone reads ashy rather than brightening. The bronzer stick is cool-toned and works across the shade range, so it does not need matching in the same way. Check the swatches on each individual product page before deciding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interesting thing about a routine built this way is that reapplying stops being a separate chore and starts being the same thing as touching up your makeup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sn-explore-more\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore our \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/sunscreens\"\u003esunscreens\u003c\/a\u003e, or see more from \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/avocado-zinc\"\u003eAvocado Zinc\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Avocado Zinc","offers":[{"title":"Light-Medium \/ Light \/ Light","offer_id":55406866727246,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light-Medium \/ Light \/ Light-Medium","offer_id":55406866760014,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light-Medium \/ Light \/ Medium-Dark","offer_id":55406866792782,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light-Medium \/ Light-Medium \/ Light","offer_id":55406866825550,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light-Medium \/ Light-Medium \/ Light-Medium","offer_id":55406866858318,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light-Medium \/ Light-Medium \/ Medium-Dark","offer_id":55406866891086,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light-Medium \/ Medium-Dark \/ Light","offer_id":55406866923854,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Light-Medium \/ Medium-Dark \/ Light-Medium","offer_id":55406866956622,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Light-Medium \/ Medium-Dark \/ Medium-Dark","offer_id":55406866989390,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium-Dark \/ Light \/ Light","offer_id":55406867022158,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium-Dark \/ Light \/ Light-Medium","offer_id":55406867054926,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium-Dark \/ Light \/ Medium-Dark","offer_id":55406867087694,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium-Dark \/ Light-Medium \/ Light","offer_id":55406867120462,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium-Dark \/ Light-Medium \/ Light-Medium","offer_id":55406867153230,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium-Dark \/ Light-Medium \/ Medium-Dark","offer_id":55406867185998,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium-Dark \/ Medium-Dark \/ Light","offer_id":55406867218766,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium-Dark \/ Medium-Dark \/ Light-Medium","offer_id":55406867251534,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium-Dark \/ Medium-Dark \/ Medium-Dark","offer_id":55406867284302,"sku":null,"price":52.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/5057\/0062\/files\/perfect-remove-the-texture-behind-the-products-please-the-rest-keep-it-exactly-as-is.png?v=1772473468"},{"product_id":"avocado-zinc-physical-sunscreen-duo","title":"Avocado Zinc Physical Sunscreen SPF Duo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin-Nomad's Take — At a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA face-and-body mineral SPF pairing for complete daily sun cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-nano Zinc Oxide formulas that nourish as they protect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSPF 50 for the face and a generous SPF 30 for the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis bundle contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/avocado-zinc-spf-50-natural-physical-sunscreen\"\u003eAvocado Zinc SPF 50 Natural Physical Sunscreen\u003c\/a\u003e (100 ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/avocado-zinc-spf-30-natural-body-sunscreen\"\u003eAvocado Zinc SPF 30 Natural Body Sunscreen\u003c\/a\u003e (200 ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is the part almost everyone skips at the SPF step, and the reason is nearly always that it means another product on skin you have already moisturised. The Avocado Zinc Physical Sunscreen SPF Duo answers that with two water-free mineral formulas built on non-nano Zinc Oxide: SPF 50 in a face weight, and a 200 ml SPF 30 whose avocado and raspberry seed oils do the work a body lotion would. Avocado Zinc is a family-run brand from Western Australia, where sun protection is not a seasonal habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-nano Zinc Oxide does all the filtering in both formulas:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc Oxide sits on the skin surface and reflects and scatters UVA and UVB rather than being absorbed into the skin, and neither product blends in a second filter to reach its rating.

In the body formula, raspberry seed oil brings alpha-linolenic and ellagic acids to the oxidative side of sun exposure, which a mineral filter does nothing about on its own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTexture \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are thick and want a moment of warming between the fingers before they spread, the face formula reading closest to a balm and the body one to a rich cream.

Blending in a second filter, mineral or organic, reaches the same rating with a lighter texture. The trade here is a short ingredient list and one filter you can name, in exchange for more presence on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is SPF 30 enough on the body, or should both be SPF 50?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: SPF 30 blocks roughly 97% of UVB against SPF 50's 98%, so the gap between the two ratings is far smaller than the gap between a generous layer and a thin one. Over arms, legs and shoulders the amount applied is the variable that actually moves, which is why the body formula comes in 200 ml rather than at a higher number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the body sunscreen go on better over damp or dry skin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Dry, and this matters more than it does with most body products. A water-free formula does not emulsify with water, so over damp skin it slides and pools instead of spreading. Give skin a minute after a shower and the same amount of product covers far more evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Where does the face sunscreen sit in a morning routine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Last. It goes on after cleansing, toner or essence, serum, eye product and moisturiser, and before any makeup, because sunscreen is always the final skincare step of the morning. Each formula is complete on its own, so the face SPF 50 protects perfectly well without the body one; having both simply means the body stops being the part that gets left out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe measure of a sun protection routine is not what went on your face, it is whether your shoulders got anything at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sn-explore-more\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore our \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/sunscreens\"\u003esunscreens\u003c\/a\u003e, or see more from \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/avocado-zinc\"\u003eAvocado Zinc\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Avocado Zinc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59667848659278,"sku":null,"price":50.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/5057\/0062\/files\/AvocadoZincPhysicalSunscreenDuocouv.png?v=1781890925"}],"url":"https:\/\/skin-nomad.com\/en-au\/collections\/zinc-oxide.oembed","provider":"Skin-Nomad","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
