Surf Clay Soft Sand SPF50+ Mineral Sunscreen

Surf Clay Shades of Tan: Choosing the Perfect Shade with Ocean Freedom

When it comes to sun protection, one size doesn’t fit all—especially when it comes to tinted sunscreen. That’s why Ocean Freedom’s Surf Clay SPF50+ range is designed to meet the unique needs of different skin tones. Using the Fitzpatrick Scale as a guide, we’ve created three shades that provide optimal coverage and protection while seamlessly blending with your skin.

The Fitzpatrick Scale and Shade Selection

The Fitzpatrick Scale categorizes skin types based on their natural complexion and response to sun exposure. It’s an essential tool in dermatology and helps us ensure our tinted sunscreens work for everyone. Here’s how our Surf Clay shades align with the Fitzpatrick Scale:

• Type I-II (Very Light to Light Skin Tones): These skin types are highly sensitive to the sun and often burn easily. For these individuals, we recommend Soft Sand, the lightest shade, designed to blend naturally with fair skin.
• Type III-IV (Medium to Olive Skin Tones): These skin types have a more balanced response to the sun but still require strong protection. Light Tan, a medium shade, provides excellent coverage for light to medium skin tones.
• Type V-VI (Brown to Deep Skin Tones): These skin types are less likely to burn but are still vulnerable to sun damage. Our Dark Tan shade is specifically formulated to complement brown to deep skin tones.

Key Features of Surf Clay SPF50+

2. Designed for Endurance: Created with outdoor enthusiasts and athletes in mind, Surf Clay delivers long-lasting coverage that won’t wash off or fade during intense activities.
3. 98% UVA & UVB Protection: Our sunscreen shields your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of sunburn, premature aging, and long-term damage.
