Dare we ask, is summer finally here?! As the temperatures start to climb and the unmistakable scent of summer fills the air, our attention naturally turns to sun protection. With trips to the park, family days out, and holiday season nearly here, now’s the perfect time to upgrade your sunscreen game and Ocean Freedom might just be your new go-to.
Originating from South Africa, Ocean Freedom’s mineral-based sunscreens are designed to handle serious heat while keeping the skin protected. Unlike chemical sunscreens that can feel greasy, sting your eyes, or irritate sensitive skin, Ocean Freedom opts for a more thoughtful formula that is fragrance-free, oil-free, non-irritant, and packed with aloe vera for added hydration.
These are all standout features for families, especially when you’re dealing with the delicate skin of young children or anyone prone to irritation.
The product takes its name from its creator, surfing legend Roxy Davis, who saw a gap in the market for truly skin-safe sun protection – something tough enough to withstand the relentless sun and rugged conditions of outdoor adventure, yet gentle enough for everyday use which in reality makes it a great product for the whole family.
And while many brands claim to be safe to skin, Ocean Freedom has really invested in ensuring it protects against broad spectrum UVA and UVB. This means the range protects the skin from all the skin damaging rays from the sun.
The products are quite pigmented, which means they can leave a light, visible layer on the skin, something many parents actually appreciate, as it offers reassurance that their child is fully covered and protected. Despite the rich texture, the formula glides on easily and stays put impressively well. We put it to the test during what felt like a full day at the local splash pad, and it held up without a hitch meaning no constant reapplying, and thankfully no meltdowns!
It’s worth mentioning Ocean Freedom’s hero product, the fun Surf Clay. Offering SPF 50+ protection, it comes in a range of shades including pink, blue, white, and tan. Kids will love mixing colours to create custom combos and again, parents will appreciate how easy it is to apply and spot on skin.
Ocean Freedom products are available priced from £8.00 from Bling2o
