A modern, lightweight sunscreen that doubles as skincare — this 3-in-1 lotion from Cancer Council combines high sun protection, moisturising care, and a subtle primer-like finish for everyday use. Designed for normal to combination skin, it protects against UVA and UVB rays while helping minimise the visible signs of sun-induced skin ageing such as fine lines, pigmentation and roughness.

Key Ingredients & Their Roles
-
IBR-Solage™ (algae extract) — helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, rough skin and UV-induced dark spots. Blooms The Chemist+1
-
Kakadu Plum Extract — rich in antioxidants and vitamins, helps support skin tone and resilience while contributing to a healthy-looking finish. Blooms The Chemist+1
-
Glycerin (and moisturising agents) — provides hydration, helping skin stay soft and balanced rather than dry or tight after sunscreen application. BIG W+1
Why Use It
-
Ideal if you want daily sun protection that doesn’t feel heavy or greasy.
-
Great for normal to combination skin, especially if you care about preventing sun damage and premature skin ageing.
-
Good for everyday life — work, commuting, errands — because it doubles as a moisturiser + sunscreen + primer.
-
Lightweight and non-comedogenic, making it suitable even for skin prone to breakouts or for those who dislike heavy creams.
Potential Drawbacks / When It Might Not Be Ideal
-
Not water-resistant: if you’re swimming, sweating heavily, or spending extended time outdoors, you’ll need a water-resistant sunscreen — this product isn’t designed for those conditions. BIG W+1
-
As with any sunscreen, proper application is crucial — insufficient application or irregular re-application reduces effectiveness. Cancer Council NSW+1
-
Because it’s tailored for everyday wear and skin-health, it might lack the water/sweat resistance or heavy-duty protection some people prefer for intense sun exposure or outdoor sports days.
FAQ
Is this sunscreen enough protection for daily use in Australia?
Yes — SPF50+ broad-spectrum sunscreen provides “very high” protection against UVA and UVB and is recommended by Cancer Council whenever UV is 3 or above. Cancer Council NSW+1
Should I reapply it during the day?
Yes — you should reapply every two hours (and sooner if swimming, sweating or towel-drying), just like any sunscreen. Cancer Council NSW+1
Can I use this as my day moisturiser?
Yes — because it blends sunscreen with moisturising and skin-care ingredients, it doubles as a light moisturiser and primer suited for everyday use. BIG W+1
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
It’s formulated to be gentle and suitable for normal to combination skin; if you have very sensitive skin, you may wish to patch-test first.
Does it help prevent skin ageing?
Yes — by protecting against UV radiation (a major cause of photo-ageing) and incorporating antioxidant-rich botanical extracts, it helps reduce long-term sun damage and maintain skin health. Blooms The Chemist+1
Is it safe to use year-round?
Yes — regular daily use is recommended (especially when UV levels reach 3 or above) to help reduce cumulative sun damage and lower skin cancer risk over time.
