Suncare that cares.

MEGASHADE™

Mineral filter

Mineral sunscreens create a physical barrier between your skin and harmful UV rays, swatting them away from your precious skin. This "blocking" technique is why they're commonly known as physical sunscreens. MEGASHADE is formulated with Zinc Oxide (3%), a non-irritating filter that marries with our chemical filters to sink in and spread easily.

MEGASHADE™

Chemical filters

Chemical filters absorb UV rays and convert them into heat, neutralizing harmful free radicals. They're also what lends our formula its weightless quality—free from any chalky white-cast—that blends sheer-to-clear. We formulate with Homosalate (7.5%), Octisalate (5%) and Octinoxate (7.5%).

MEGASHADE™

Kakadu plum (Vitamin C)

Containing the highest Vitamin C content from any food source in the world, this powerful antioxidant from Australia helps to brighten the appearance of existing dark spots and block further UV-induced ones from forming. Vitamin C also plays a role in collagen synthesis, while helping to neutralise free radicals, making it the ultimate sunscreen-meets-skincare ingredient.

MEGASHADE™

Niacinamide

Otherwise known as B3, Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that turns down the appearance of redness and and irritation. Niacinamide also helps to revive and revitalize your moisture barrier following damage or dehydration, helping skin improve its natural production of hydrating ceramides. Your skin's calm, logical, level-headed friend.

MEGASHADE™

Ferulic Acid

A do-gooder antioxidant that protects against free radicals, Ferulic acid fights skin degradation (referred to as aging by most, which is a beautiful part of life btw!), reducing the appearance of fine lines while firming skin. Buddying up with Vitamin C, another antioxidant, the duo is able to strengthen their blockade against harmful free radicals for ultimate protection.

MEGASHADE™

Tea Tree

A potent agent from our home shores, Australia, that purifies pores and boots trouble-causing debris from the party that is your face. We've formulated MEGASHADE with 0.02% tea tree, an amount that's enough to repel trouble but not so much that it irritates skin.

MEGASHADE™

Colloidal Oatmeal

The breakfast of dewy champions! But no, really, this antioxidant is an emollient, meaning that it softens and bear-hugs needy skin. Colloidal oatmeal is also water-binding, meaning it locks in moisture. That's absolutely not the whole scoop on this legendary active, though—it also soothes the appearance of redness and texture.

MEGASHADE™

Ceramide NG

Replete with healthy fatty acids, this angelic ceramide helps retain moisture and boost skin's elasticity, keeping it firm, plump and supple. Ceramides can also help to revive dehydrated skin—for example, if you've used too many aggressive chemical exfoliants and your skin is parched beyond desert levels, ceramides can help rebuild your moisture barrier.

MEGASHADE™

Hyaluronic Acid

One of the most adored skincare ingredients, Hyaluronic Acid is molecule that naturally occurs in your skin. HA works (in collaboration with Ceramide NG) as your hydration station; a moisture magnet that retains water stores in your skin to give you a luminous, dewy glow.

Just in case you were wondering

Where does MEGASHADE fit into my skincare routine?
MEGASHADE has a serum-like finish but its primary job is fighting UV rays and protecting your excellent face from the sun's harsh rays! It should be applied as your very last skincare step, after your serums and before makeup. However! Since it's packed with skincare ingredients that might appear in your day serums (Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, Niacinamide and more), MEGASHADE also doubles as a potent day serum that brightens and antioxidizes while being extremely friendly for acne-prone skin, so you may not even need your normal day serum :)
Is MEGASHADE reef-safe?
MEGASHADE is unlike classic beach bag sunscreens that are thick and leave a white cast—we formulated it for every day urban use, with active ingredients to boost your skincare routine. With that said, due to the presence of Octinoxate (7.5%), MEGASHADE cannot be considered reef-safe (we've formulated with Octinoxate as it blends seamlessly, lending a beautifully dewy finish).
What do you mean by "broad-spectrum protection"?
Broad-spectrum covers both UVA and UVB rays (as opposed to just one). UVA protection works against the aging rays (let's just quickly note that aging is NOT a dirty word; and rather, a beautiful part of life!). UVB protection works against the burning rays. MEGASHADE deflects and blocks both types of rays for comprehensive sun protection.
SPF 50 seems high. Do I really need that level of protection?
Skin cancer is the most preventable form of cancer, and using a high quality broad-spectrum SPF is the key to that prevention. skincancer.org say, "The SPF number tells you how long the sun’s UV radiation would take to redden your skin when using the product exactly as directed versus the amount of time without any sunscreen. So ideally, with SPF 30 it would take you 30 times longer to burn than if you weren’t wearing sunscreen." "An SPF 30 allows about 3 percent of UVB rays to hit your skin. An SPF of 50 allows about 2 percent of those rays through. That may seem like a small difference until you realize that the SPF 30 is allowing 50 percent more UV radiation onto your skin."

If you’re thinking about getting this…GET IT

I absolutely adore this spf ! It is a fairly big bottle so I’m convinced you’re getting the moneys worth. It is so non greasy and is perfect for oil and dry skin! I love it. It even smells nice to me but is not overpowering. I love the packaging and it’s an absolute must have in my skincare routine

Best sunscreen for acne

This is one my favorite sunscreen in my collection. I love using this everyday but mostly when I’m breaking out or feel more redness on my skin. I love it’s liquid serum texture and the packaging too. No white cast, absorbs easily, no stinging to eyes, safe to use under eyes, saves my skin from breaking out, heals acne plus perfect one to use under makeup💛💛.

BEST ACNE SAFE SUNSCREEN EVER

I have THEE most sensitive skin and am extremely acne prone so finding skin, hair, and makeup products that work for me (don’t break me out AND actually do their job!) Because of this, i’ve tried sooo many sunscreens- until Megashade! This sunscreen gives me the best, dewiest glow ever AND doesn’t break me out. It’s helped clear up my skin so much that I even love wearing it without any makeup on (which I never thought I’d do!) I have it on monthly subscription so i never run out🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Holy grail!

The best sunblock I’ve used yet. It gives you a beautifully dewy hydrated glow and sits nicely under makeup. I highly recommend!
