The Kid-Friendly, Reef-Safe Sunscreen That’s Making Waves

☀️ The Kid-Friendly, Reef-Safe Sunscreen That’s Making Waves

This week, 7News spotlighted Little Urchin's SPF50 Kids Mineral Sunscreen — and it’s no surprise it’s flying off the shelves.

At The Sunscreen List™, we’ve already listed Little Urchin SPF50 for its gentle, reef-safe formula and SunSafe® credentials.

👨👧 The Story Behind the Formula

Little Urchin began one day when a father picked up his young daughter from daycare and found her skin caked in a chemical-smelling sunscreen. Knowing just enough about the potentially harmful effects of common sunscreen ingredients, he knew he didn’t want her wearing them.

Determined to create something better, he began a six-month journey formulating a sunscreen using only rich essential oils and nature’s most potent skin-nourishing ingredients. After perfecting the base, he teamed up with one of Australia’s top formulators to ensure the product was not only gentle and effective — but also professionally tested for integrity and protection.

Little Urchin now proudly carries the tagline: “Know what’s on your skin.”
