[This product is exactly the same formulation as our previous cult hit, broad spectrum and water resistant Great Outdoors Sunscreen SPF 15.]

Our natural moisturiser with sunscreen SPF 15 is light, moisturising and outstanding for use in the harsh Australian sun and when swimming. True to the Simplicité range, this powerful combination of 17 freshly extracted, medicinal grade plant extracts provide a natural, yet highly effective moisturiser with sunscreen. This product has been designed to provide all the wonderful skin care benefits you'd expect from Simplicité while still protecting you from the sun.

It's a light moisturiser with sunscreen SPF 15–it's sensational for sensitive skin, it's non-greasy and it won't congest your pores.

"This moisturiser with sunscreen is the first sunscreen I've used that is not irritating to my skin or eyes in one way or another and it has a wonderful texture that allows me to apply makeup without it sliding off. It makes sense to me to avoid chemicals, yet effective sunscreen is important too. I highly recommend this one."

Why use an SPF 15 rather than SPF 30 or SPF 50?

• SPF 15 is the ideal SPF for most sun exposure situations without the double chemical load (sunscreening chemicals) of SPF 30 and above.
• SPF 15 gives similar sun protection as 'higher' SPFs when applied every two hours–as all sunscreens must be.

How to Use

• Apply liberally 15 minutes or more prior to sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours or sooner if swimming. Avoid sun exposure between 11am and 2pm. Always wear a hat, effective sunglasses and protective clothing where possible.
• Apply again after swimming.
• Perfect for even the most sensitive skin.
• Safe to apply to infants and children.

SPF Facts
You may think if the SPF is ‘higher’ then your sun protection will equivalently rise too. However that isn’t the case. While an SPF 15 will block around 93 percent of UVB rays, doubling the SPF to 30 will block 97 percent. That’s just a 4 percent increase – for what would appear to be double the dose.

For ‘higher’ SPFs, those of SPF 50 and more, there is only a one percent increase, never enough to reach 100 percent. Dermatologists say there is no real difference between using an SPF 15 or 30 and using SPF 50 or greater.

SPF levels are also a gauge of how long it takes to become sunburned compared to how long it takes to burn without wearing sunscreen. If you generally take 20 minutes to burn, an SPF 15 should allow you to go 300 minutes before burning. However it is not all recommended nor is it safe to go 300 minutes in the sun before putting on more sunscreen. Ever.

Generally an SPF 15 is sufficient, especially if it can be worn when swimming. For maximum protection against prolonged exposure to the sun it is highly recommended to also wear protective clothing, a hat and effective sunglasses. 

Remember, all sunscreens must be reapplied every two hours regardless of SPF.

Our ingredient choices: Simplicité moisturiser with sunscreen contains approved sunscreening agents along with significant amounts of nutritive, healing, anti-toxin, soothing plant extracts to balance the formula. Sunscreening ingredients in this product have been approved by senior government scientists in the European Union, the USA, Australia, Canada, and Japan. They make their decisions after reviewing every known study. These scientists don't refer to internet articles to make their decisions. Neither is Simplicité swayed by internet conjecture, or out of context articles on certain ‘organic’ websites.

There are 2500 treatments per day in Australia for skin cancers. 2000 Australians die each year from skin cancer. Simplicité believes that it’s therefore irresponsible to argue the effectiveness or safety of approved sunscreen ingredients.

Green denotes the nutritive, active herbal ingredients. These are either certified organic or wild grown. We freshly make all our plant extracts. We don’t buy commercial liquid ‘plant extracts’ or commercial lifeless dried and powdered herbs to make extracts.
