Dr Laura's Notes

Skin Type:

All skin types, especially sensitive, acne-prone and those who prefer water-based formulas

This is for you if…

You want a mineral SPF with a more skin-like, natural finish than the Mineral Mousse and prefer a water-based rather than silicone-based formula.

A water-based mineral SPF50+ cream with a natural, skin-like finish. Fragrance-free, reef-friendly and formulated in Australia with zinc oxide, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and vitamins C, E and F.

ZINC OXIDE 20%: Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection in a water-based base. Naturally anti-inflammatory, non-comedogenic and gentle on sensitive and acne-prone skin.

NIACINAMIDE AND RICE AMINO ACIDS: Brighten, refine texture, calm redness and strengthen the skin barrier, adding genuine skincare value alongside the SPF.

ASCORBYL TETRAISOPALMITATE (VITAMIN C) AND SODIUM HYALURONATE: Antioxidant protection and deep hydration to keep skin even-toned and plump throughout the day.

100% MINERAL, WATER-BASED FORMULA: Zinc oxide 20% in a water-based rather than silicone base, for a lighter, more natural finish that suits silicone-sensitive skin.
NIACINAMIDE AND RICE AMINO ACIDS: Brighten, refine texture, calm inflammation and support the skin barrier, going further than most SPFs as a skincare product.
FRAGRANCE-FREE AND REEF-FRIENDLY: No added fragrance, free from oxybenzone and octinoxate, and TGA listed.

Why It's Phare Approved

Zinc oxide 20% in a water-based cream base rather than the silicone-heavy Mineral Mousse, giving a more natural, skin-like finish. Niacinamide, rice amino acids, hyaluronic acid and vitamins C, E and F make it genuinely useful as a skincare step. Fragrance-free, reef-friendly and TGA listed. A good choice for those who find silicone-based formulas heavy or pill under makeup.

1. Apply as the final step in your morning skincare routine, after serums and moisturiser.
2. Blend evenly over face, neck and decolletage.
3. Allow to absorb fully before applying makeup.
4. Reapply every two hours if outdoors, and after swimming, sweating or towelling.

Both use zinc oxide 20% as the sole UV active, but the base formulas are different. Mineral Mousse is silicone-based with a velvet matte finish. Pretty in Zinc is water-based with a more natural, skin-like finish. If you find silicone-based formulas heavy or pilling under makeup, Pretty in Zinc is the better fit.
There may be a slight cast on very deep skin tones, as is normal for any zinc oxide formula. On most skin tones it blends down to a natural finish. The iron oxide pigments in the formula help it sit more naturally on the skin than a purely white mineral SPF.
Yes. Zinc oxide is naturally anti-inflammatory and non-comedogenic, and niacinamide helps manage redness, texture and pore appearance. The water-based formula is less likely to feel heavy on oily or acne-prone skin than a silicone-based alternative.
Yes. Zinc oxide is considered reef-safe, and the formula is free from oxybenzone and octinoxate, the two chemical filters most commonly linked to coral reef damage.
