Our hybrid SPF 50 is made for everyday family adventures, offering broad-spectrum UVA & UVB protection so you can enjoy the sun with confidence.
Hybrid means the best of both worlds. The mineral filter, Titanium Dioxide, creates a physical barrier on the skin to reflect UV rays. While the chemical filters are wrapped in protective bubbles so they stay on the surface instead of soaking in. This prevents irritation, making it gentle for a compromised skin barrier.
High-protection SPF enriched with 20% aloe vera juice, helping to replenish and support the skin barrier while providing lasting hydration.
Hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested for sensitive skin, and safe for babies from 6 weeks+. This fragrance-free formula absorbs quickly into a soft matte finish with little to no white cast. It’s suitable for all skin types and tones.
☁️ Lightweight, non-comedogenic with matte finish.
How to Use
Apply half a teaspoon of SPF 50 to the face and neck, then massage until absorbed. Use as the final step in your skincare routine, 15 minutes before going outside. Reapply every 2 hours, especially when sweating or swimming.
It can be used on the whole body. Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
Tips:
Patch test a small area 24 hours before first use.
Derived from inner aloe gel, rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids & polysaccharides to soothe, moisturise & support skin function.

A mineral UV filter that provides physical sun protection.

FAQs
🌱 What is a hybrid SPF, and how does it protect against sun damage?
Our hybrid SPF combines mineral and double-encapsulated chemical UV filters to give you the best of both worlds.
Mineral filters like Titanium Dioxide sit on the skin to help reflect and scatter UV rays, while advanced chemical filters absorb any remaining rays before they can cause damage. This dual approach provides high, broad-spectrum protection with a lightweight, wearable finish and minimal white cast.
The result is reliable protection that’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and comfortable for everyday use.
👶 Is it suitable for babies, all skin types and tones?
Yes, our SPF 50 is gentle, dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin and children over 6 weeks old. It’s also suitable for all skin types and tones, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
For babies under 6 months, we recommend prioritising shade and protective clothing. If you have any specific concerns, we recommend consulting with a paediatrician or health practitioner for personalised advice.
👻 Does it leave a white cast on the skin?
Mineral UV filters can sometimes leave a white cast, but our hybrid formula is designed to minimise this. By combining mineral (non-nano Titanium Dioxide) and advanced chemical filters, it provides strong protection with a more natural, wearable finish across a wide range of skin tones.
💄 Can I use it under makeup?
Absolutely! Our sunscreen is makeup-compatible. We suggest allowing SPF 50 to fully absorb for 5 minutes before applying makeup to create a smooth, protected base.
👒 What do UVA and UVB stand for?
UVA and UVB are two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun that affect the skin differently.
UVA (“A for aging”) rays penetrate deep into the skin (dermis) and contribute to premature aging, pigmentation and long-term damage. They are present all year round and can pass through clouds and glass.
UVB (“B for burning”) rays affect the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and are responsible for sunburn, redness and direct DNA damage linked to skin cancer. They are strongest in summer and during midday hours.
Daily broad-spectrum SPF helps protect against both.
🐠 Is it reef-safe?
Our formula is free from oxybenzone and octinoxate and is designed with both skin and environmental considerations in mind.
💭 Can I replace my moisturiser with the SPF 50?
SPF 50 is an essential final step in your routine and shouldn’t replace your moisturiser. Together, they form a powerful duo that supports your skin's overall well-being.

This is the first SPF in a year that hasn’t made my skin react! It might not seem like a lot to some but WildMint skincare really has changed the game for me. I actually love doing my routine instead of dreading it because of that burning sensation. I just can’t fault it!!
Really love this face suncream. It applies easily and absorbs well, not greasy at all. It has been well tested in the sun this week, on the beach regularly, in and out the sea and only applied once in the morning. No signs of sunburn. Will be using this regularly from now on. Highly recommend it 😊
Made my skin clearer and more radiant. I am 39 years old and I look younger than when I was 25. I never thought there is a cream that can do that to my face. I'm so happy and inlove with this spf. Its light and leaves my face very soft and clear.. I don't wear foundation anyway but this makes my face look like my it's been airbrushed. I just love it.
This is a little pot of lovelyness! Its so easy to apply not chalky and sinks into the skin, very hydrating aswell im very nearly through my first pot! Its fab to wear under makeup aswell! Gorgeous ❤️
My little girl had had so many flareups prior to going on our summer holiday and trying to find her a suitable sun cream. We went abroad in extreme heat using this spy and she didn't burn, flare up and partnered with the calm balm, had an amazing time. Her skin has really cleared up and by using the calm balm after every bath has made a difference. Loving not using steroids on her skin!

Hi Toni 💚 We’re so glad you and your little girl were able to enjoy your holiday in the heat with one less thing to worry about 🥰 It’s fantastic to hear that SPF 50 kept her protected without any burns or flare-ups, even in the extreme heat. We’re also so pleased that using Calm Balm after her baths has made such a difference and that you’ve seen such an improvement in her skin. It’s lovely to hear she’s been able to enjoy her holiday and feel more comfortable in her skin, and we really appreciate you sharing your experience with us 😁🛡️💚
Wild Mint has cracked it with this. The old formula was thick and chalky and didn’t absorb well. This cream is light and silky. It glides onto my skin and absorbs really well. Would highly recommend!
Store owner replied:
Hello Caz 💚 We love hearing how much you’re enjoying our SPF 50! That light, silky texture and easy absorption are exactly what you want from a daily SPF. We really appreciate your recommendation 🥰🛡️✨
I have beenusing wild mint for a good while now 12 months maybe !
I had very dry spoty hormonal skin, it isn't perfect but it is 80 percent better and now I can protect from the sun without no nasties it is great, it goes on well and yes it takes a bit extra time to rub in , you don't need much just a few tiny blobs around the face, here is me no foundation just a little blush and eye makeup at 54 out on a very hot day , my face was completely protected, I put it on my arms and hand too ... highly recommend

This is the nicest suncream, feels refreshing rather than sticky and brilliant for sensitive skin
Store owner replied:
Hi Catherine 💚 We’re so glad you’ve found SPF 50 refreshing rather than sticky, especially for your sensitive skin! It's great to hear how much you're enjoying it - thanks for sharing such lovely feedback 🛡️🌸
Love the texture of it, it’s not heavy at all, perfect for face and for some areas of the body (I’m tall and I love this stuff so I use sparingly).
It doesn’t break me out which some do, the scent doesn’t turn me off, it doesn’t clog my pores or dry my skin. It feels light like marshmallow when applied and spreads quickly. I haven’t tried it below makeup so can’t speak to that (I don’t wear foundation often in summer) but I love love love it and will be getting another
Store owner replied:
Hello Claire 💚 It’s great to hear how much you’re enjoying SPF 50! We’re especially pleased that you love the lightweight texture and find it comfortable on your skin without feeling heavy, clogging your pores or drying you out. It sounds like you’ve found a great everyday SPF, and we’ll be happy to welcome you back for your next one 🛡️🥰✨
Love this -good to know it is cleaner - used all through the recent heatwaves and protected me topping up regularly - I would like more information on the uva/ uvb protection as this is usually shown by a number of stars on the packaging.
It's the best sunscreen I've tried and has amazing results as my skin is very sensitive and it's reduced the redness on my face so love it. 😊
I've recommended it to my friends.
Great spf. I've tried many different brands as I have not only sensitive skin but also my eyes water with alot of the mainstream sunscreen. And I've not had any reactions to this product. Great for my kids too.
This is so much nicer to use than the old suncream wild mint produced. It is silly to apply, works well and big bonus for someone like me I'm not allergic to it!
I love all the wildmint products, I have sensitive skin & have always struggled to find products that don’t irritate my skin. Finally something that feels lovely on & doesn’t clog my pores or make my skin feel greasy.
Definitely recommend the spf, I’m outside a lot & my face hasn’t burned!
Thank you x

Amazing product and really does work especially with my morning routine of other Wildmint products
Store owner replied:
Hey Tricia, we’re so pleased to hear you’re loving our SPF 50 and that it works so well alongside your morning WildMint routine 💚 Thank you again for your lovely feedback and continued support ✨😊
This is a very matte and non sticky sunscreen. You can’t feel it when it’s on and I’ve used it on my daughter with very sensitive skin. She usually reacts to sunscreen but doesn’t with this which is great. I wish it was also available in a tube though for easier application.
I loved the spf 30 you used to do so I bought this one still gives a nice colour but it fades nicely without redness . And no white cast at all . I’ll always use this spf as it doesn’t make my skin go red first and I’m fair skinned so I burn easily but not with this spf I get a nice glowy colour that fades in time so my skin is not getting damaged with sun and I’ve used this in 30 degree heat but I apply every two hours unless I feel sun burning into my skin I’ll reapply . And be generous with it to really protect your skin .
It’s usually a bind to put sunscreen on, just another thing to do. But not with this because it goes on beautifully and my skin feels better with it on.
I've been using this for a couple of months now. It's so much better than the previous factor 30 sunscreen which was chalky.
This new formula rubs in easily and is light.
I suffer from rosacea and this sunscreen has not caused a flare-up.
I also use it on my granddaughter as its so gentle.
Would definitely recommend 👌
Thought I’d give it a try as I love their products.
Another winner, lovely SPF which doesn’t irritate my skin and just feels like a lovely moisturiser. Highly recommend 😃
This is a FANTASTIC upgrade from Viva Vibe which I liked but was a little thick and not so easy to massage into my face. However, SPF 50 is GENIUS. It’s smooth, easy to apply and makes my skin feel wonderful whilst protecting me from the sun. It now matches all the other AMAZING products I use from Wild Mint Cosmetics, all of which have really made a difference to my daily skincare. The only thing I miss? The name Viva Vibe! It was sooo cute but I understand why you perhaps couldn’t keep it when launching the new product…I’ll just pretend that’s what it’s called! 🤣😜🙌🏻💕
I have sensitive skin so usually use a mineral sunscreen which usually has a white cast. This is a hybrid but doesn’t irritate my skin and no white cast. Brilliant product and I would thoroughly recommend.
Lovely product. The initial one left a white residue that was really hard to rub in but the new version is lovely. Good protection, have not needed to reapply during the day
I'd previously bought the SPF from Wildmint and been disappointed as it felt heavy and greasy on my skin and caused a few breakouts, no different to other sun protection designed for the face.
This newer version is much better! It feels lighter and I haven't yet noticed an increase in breakouts.
I'm hoping I can use it every day in summer without feeling like my pores are blocked. I have sensitive skin and have yet to find SPF for my face which doesn't feel like it's too heavy and causing a sweaty face... this COULD be it! Yeay!
I'm always after moisturisers with factor 50 in them - so often they aren't a nice consistency, they can be thick, heavy, sticky! I am so pleased to have tried the Wildmint one! I have ordered 3 to make sure I don't run out! hubby is using them too and some friends have bought them as well since I chatted about them on my youtube channel (@styleyourselffabulous with Ruth). I wont be using anything else from now on! I have been converted to Wildmint since I started using them a few years ago, and buy lots of your different products!
I really struggle with sunscreen on my face, due to my crows feet/laughter lines. They just channel it straight into my eyes. Super painful and irritating. I have tried many kinds from kids to waterproof, none were tolerable. That is until I found wild mint quite by chance on a face book add. I took a punt and I am very glad I did! It isn't greasy, but neither is it chalky. It has a lovely texture that rubs in straight away and does the job. What's more it doesn't run in my eyes immediately. I did think it was pricey, but actually a little really does go a long way, plus I don't have to keep washing it off and applying more. I imagine this pot will last most of the summer.
Too soon to say if it’s doing its job, I guess I just need to trust the experts on that! But it feels lovely going on. First SPF I’ve ever tried that doesn’t sting my eyes! Miracles do happen!
Love this product. Nice scent and doesn’t feel greasy at all on the skin. Light and invisible which just adds to this great product.
I remember answering a survey and recommended a spf 50 product to be added and I’m so glad it has been. It is a great addition to my skin routine.
This is definitely my one and only go to for SPF now. Thrilled that Wildmint do it in 50 SPF. So lightweight and doesnt leave much of a white cast either which is even better.
