From the recyclable glass jar with its aluminium lid to the thoughtfully chosen ingredients, this feels more like a self-care ritual than a daily skincare task.
Ingredients: Pure, Kind, Botanical
- Zinc oxide (non-nano): the mineral shield that offers broad spectrum UVA & UVB protection – no synthetics, no reef-damaging chemicals.
- Karanja oil, raw shea butter, sunflower oil, chamomile, sea buckthorn, rosemary and more – a beautifully rich botanical blend that’s 100% natural, 76% Soil Association certified organic, vegan and fair trade.
Texture & Feel
The cream has a soft, yellow-tinged balm consistency. It’s not runny, nor overly thick, and while it does take a little massaging to work into the skin, it quickly settles to a dry, non-greasy finish that still allows the skin to breathe.
There can be a slight “Casper” effect on the face unless it is rubbed in properly, but this is barely noticeable under make-up or when used on the body. The scent is subtle and nutty, thanks to the shea butter.
Use & Performance
Application: A large pea-sized amount is plenty for the face, with more generous scoops for the body. It blends in more easily if warmed between the fingers first.Protection: Provides instant SPF 30 broad-spectrum coverage. It’s best reapplied every few hours, especially after swimming or towel drying.
Eco credentials: Not waterproof, but completely reef-safe, free from nanoparticles and synthetic UV filters.
Brand & Ethical Vibes
Odylique’s ethical credentials are impressive – Soil Association certified, cruelty-free, vegan and fair trade. Every ingredient has a purpose and nothing unnecessary makes its way into the jar. It’s a brand that clearly values both skin health and environmental responsibility.Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a sunscreen that doesn’t feel like a chore – one that’s as nurturing as it is protective – Odylique’s Natural Sun Screen SPF 30 is well worth a spot in your skincare line-up. It’s authentically green, genuinely kind, and offers serious protection without compromising on ethics.
Ideal for: clean beauty lovers, sensitive-skin types, and the eco-minded.
Less ideal for: anyone in a rush or wanting a completely invisible finish without make-up.
