Avocado Zinc Tinted Moisturiser SPF 50
The Avocado Zinc tinted moisturiser is a natural sunscreen, moisturiser and light foundation in one tube. It gives you broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection from non-nano zinc oxide. Plus, it evens out your skin tone and softens blemishes, so you can skip foundation on beach days.
In addition, Avocado Zinc makes it in Perth, Western Australia. It also appears on the TGA register as AUST L 358035, so you know it is a properly registered Australian sunscreen.
Why surfers and beachgoers love it
Most zinc sunscreens leave a chalky white cast. In contrast, this one blends in, because the tint comes from natural iron oxides. As a result, it suits a wide range of skin tones. The plant oils also soak in quickly, so your skin feels moisturised and dewy rather than greasy.

Choose your Avocado Zinc tinted moisturiser shade
There are three shades, so you can match your skin tone closely:
- Light for extra fair skin
- Light-Medium for fair to lightly olive skin
- Medium-Dark for olive to extra tanned skin, or skin with self-tan
If you are still not sure which shade is right for you, then just ask our team in Manly and we will help you choose.
How to apply it
First, smooth about 1/4 teaspoon over a clean, bare face. For your face and neck, use about 1/2 teaspoon instead. For example, you can use your fingers or a foundation brush. Then wait at least 20 minutes before you head into the sun. After that, reapply often, especially after swimming, surfing, towelling or exercise.

Avocado Zinc tinted moisturiser FAQs
Is the Avocado Zinc tinted moisturiser a real sunscreen?
Yes, it is a TGA-listed SPF 50 broad-spectrum sunscreen. In other words, you get full sun protection as well as a light tint.
Will it leave a white cast?
No, the natural tint helps the zinc blend into your skin, so it does not look chalky.
Can I wear it under makeup?
Yes, in fact it works well as a primer under makeup. However, many people find the coverage is enough on its own.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
Yes, because it has no chemical sunscreen actives, preservatives or added fragrance. According to Avocado Zinc, it is also suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Is it water resistant?
Avocado Zinc does not list a water-resistance time for this product. For that reason, reapply it after every swim or surf. For long sessions in the water, pair it with a water-resistant body sunscreen and a rash vest.
