Great packaging and smell! This had good coverage and felt like you were well protected. I also appreciated that the packaging is recyclable and compostable.

The Kawakawa & Tamanu sunscreen smells amazing and feels like a rich moisturiser with the added benefit of having an SPF of 50! The cream absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy film on the surface of the skin. A great product to use on your face and body, with the added benefit of it being water-resistant and reef-safe. There is so much passion behind EK Sunscreens – a brand driven by the goal to bring back our coral reefs! I am also impressed by the use of exceptional Natrue-certified ingredients, the dedication to sustainable packaging and the commitment to educating communities on how to make positive change happen.

This lovely sunscreen is formulated with beautiful, natural ingredients and has a subtle, sweet scent. It can be applied to both the body and face, doubling as a makeup primer, and I love that it comes in an eco-friendly sugarcane tube. This company truly integrates social responsibility and sustainability into everything they do—working tirelessly to conserve our forests and oceans while giving back to both global and local communities.
