Grown Alchemist Natural Hydrating Sunscreen SPF30

Gosh, so many facial SPFs are a compromise. Protection, yes. But moisture? Not so much.

If that's your summer skincare challenge, we've a brilliant find: a properly rich, nourishing protective shield. Massaged generously into the complexion, it's the perfect pick for anyone whose skin tends to dryness – though you'll want to wait the prescribed 10 minutes before applying any make-up, over the top, because it doesn't sink straight in. (They actually call it 'lightweight' but we'd honestly beg to differ – and that's the virtue.)

Active ingredients include an ultra-sheer, UVA- and UVB-protective zinc (mineral) sunscreen, along with omega-rich rosehip oil and a parsley seed extract, plus a Tri-Hyaluron Complex – different-sized particles of hyaluronic acid, for that intense hydrating power.

If you don't yet know them, Grown Alchemist is an Aussie organic brand founded by two brothers, Keston and Jeremy Mujis, who had a friend undergoing cancer therapy, who couldn't find skincare that didn't react with his skin – and set out to fix the problem. Since then, this botanical line has become a cult A-list favourite. (We're looking forward to checking out their forthcoming supplements range, BTW.)

Grown Alchemist recommend applying 30 minutes before sun exposure (that's the accepted wisdom), but we'd also recommend applying 10 mins before your make-up.

Then venture forth – and enjoy this sunshine... Because who KNOWS how long it'll flipping last?
