30 SPF | 80 Mins | Broad-spectrum sun protection enriched with nourishing ingredients
It’s not a Kiwi summer without a splash around. That’s why our broad spectrum Water Safe Sunscreen is made to last longer, even in the water. Your little swimmers get 80 minutes of water-resistant protection from UVA and UVB rays when it’s applied. And it’s gentle on the skin, with nourishing organic plant oils, so you can reapply it regularly.
The blend of natural emollients, including beeswax and almond oil, creates a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and preventing dryness.
This sunscreen uses physical/mineral UV Filters (Zinc), which results in a thicker consistency than our everyday formula- this is because physical filters create a barrier on top of the skin, making the formula Water Resistant. For more information on the difference between chemical and physical sunscreens, read our blog post here.
Reef Friendly. Free from Parabens. Cruelty Free.
Important Note About Our Water Safe Sunscreen
We’re down to the last few units of last year’s Water Safe Sunscreen. You may notice that the formula can occasionally feel firm in the tube — this is simply due to the natural beeswax solidifying over time.
To soften it, just place the closed tube in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water for about 10 minutes, or store it somewhere warm before use. Removing the cap and squeezing directly from the tube can also help the product dispense more easily.
Rest assured, the sunscreen remains completely safe, effective, and offers the same great protection and skin-loving benefits you know and love.
Apply sunscreen generously 15 minutes before sun exposure and re-apply every 80 minutes or after towelling off.
While this formula is cruelty-free and vegetarian, it contains beeswax so cannot be classified as vegan.
Recommended for babies aged six months and older, to enjoy safe, sun-kissed adventures.

Our Skincare range
Babu’s skincare range is proudly made in New Zealand.
Aotearoa Made
For our unique environment
The New Zealand sun is different. So we make and test our baby skincare and sunscreens here, to ensure they’re gentle enough for young skin and strong enough to protect against our intense UV levels.
Cruelty Free
Never ever tested on animals
We’re committed to kindness, so why would we ever allow any cruelty into our products? You can trust that all of our baby skincare and sunscreen products have never, ever been tested on our animal friends.
Nourishing Ingredients
Nurturing young skin with nature
Made with nourishing coconut, and our natural fragrance (made from papayas), our baby skincare line protects and hydrates your baby’s skin, leaving it feeling soft and soothed.
Sensitive Science
Formulated with nature’s goodness
All the scientific knowledge, without any harsh additives. Our baby skincare and sunscreen products are gentle, formulated by experts, rigorously tested, and made to the highest industry standards.
Love this and use it when we go swimming. It is very much the same as the everyday sunblock, but is oiler and thicker as to stay on with water contact. Easy to apply and doesn't t come up white on the skin.

Met the lovely owner at the baby show and they'd unfortunately sold out of the ordinary Sunscreen but gave us a handful of sample sized ones and we were hooked . The smell is amazing and the fact it is baby safe is even better. We came back for the waterproof one and it's been worth every cent . Highly recommend

We love this sunscreen. It doesn’t irritate my children’s sensitive skin and it smells divine.

Water Safe Sunscreen (200ml)
We used this sunscreen in summer along with the non water one, we used this one when swimming and boating it is really thick so harder to rub in than the other one but that was good because then we could make sure we were fully covered.
It was still gentle on my skin and my toddlers even though it was thick. It doesn’t feel greasy and it also smells delicious. Will be sticking with this sunscreen this summer too.
