Sun Balm

Mineral SPF 50 without the chalky standoff.

Broad-spectrum SPF 50 with zinc oxide as the only UV filter. Fragrance-free, water-free and made for little faces, arms and legs that do not have time for a wrestling match at the door. It rubs in more easily than most mineral sunscreens; a faint cast can still show on deeper skin tones at full coverage.

Why it works

Sun protection that gets out the door.

One UV filter

24.7% zinc oxide is the only active UV filter. No chemical UV filters.

Rubs in more easily

Soft balm texture, no thick chalky mask. A faint cast can still show on deeper skin tones at full coverage — the honest bit matters too.

Fragrance-free on purpose

No added fragrance and no lavender. A water-free balm base made with emollients, waxes and vitamin E.

mean SPF result in the in-vivo test.

SPF testing was completed on 10 human volunteers to ISO 24444:2019, with a mean result of 52.6 and an SPF 50 label under AS/NZS 2604:2021. Broad-spectrum UVA protection was verified separately to ISO 24443:2021.

What’s not in it

  • Chemical UV filters
  • Added fragrance
  • Water
How to use it
Apply generously to all exposed skin 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours, and after swimming, sweating or towelling off. Do not rely on sunscreen alone: use shade, clothing and hats too. For babies under 6 months, minimise direct sun exposure and ask your GP before using sunscreen.
Who it’s for
Babies, kids and grown-ups who prefer mineral SPF and a fragrance-free formula. Like all zinc-based SPF 50s, a faint cast may show on deeper skin tones at full coverage.
The lab tests, in plain words
SPF was measured on 10 human volunteers to ISO 24444:2019 at an independent lab — mean result 52.6, labelled SPF 50 under AS/NZS 2604:2021. Broad-spectrum UVA protection was verified separately to ISO 24443:2021 — UVA-PF 16.9 and critical wavelength 370 nm. Email hey@noody.co.nz for the report summaries.

Questions

The things parents actually ask.

Straight from our inbox, DMs and product Q&A.

The product

Is it water resistant?
No water-resistance claim is made because Sun Balm has not been tested for water resistance. Reapply after swimming, sweating or towelling off, and every 2 hours in the sun.
Will it leave a white cast?
It rubs in more easily than most mineral sunscreens, but a faint cast may be visible on deeper skin tones at full coverage.
Can I use it on a baby?
Sun Balm is made for family use. For babies under 6 months, shade and protective clothing come first — minimise direct sun exposure and ask your GP before using sunscreen.
Chemical or mineral?
Mineral. Zinc oxide at 24.7% is the only active UV filter. There are no chemical UV filters.
Why SPF 50 and not 50+?
The in-vivo test produced a mean SPF result of 52.6. Under AS/NZS 2604:2021, that supports an SPF 50 label; we use the label supported by the test result.

Testing

Can I see the lab reports?
Yes. SPF was tested to ISO 24444:2019 (n=10, mean 52.6). Broad-spectrum UVA was verified separately to ISO 24443:2021 (UVA-PF 16.9, critical wavelength 370 nm). Email hey@noody.co.nz for the report summaries.
