Nomadic SPF was built for people who spend their time outdoors. Whether you’re surfing, hiking, running, or chasing long days in the sun, your sunscreen should keep up.
Our mineral-based formulas are powered by zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection that feels comfortable, lasts through movement, and supports your skin. We avoid oxybenzone and octinoxate, aligning with Hawaii Act 104 standards and a cleaner, reef-conscious approach to sun protection.
The Lotion.
Lightweight Protection for Everyday Wear
The lotion was designed for full-body coverage with a smooth, spreadable feel that avoids the heavy texture often associated with mineral sunscreen.
Why It Works
The lotion formula balances protection with comfort. Mineral filters provide defense against the sun, while hydrating ingredients help prevent dryness and support skin health during long outdoor sessions.

Common Questions
Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them to heat inside the skin. Mineral sunscreens like ours use zinc oxide to physically block and reflect UV rays — no absorption, no conversion, no breakdown. Works immediately on application and is generally gentler on skin.
Zinc oxide is the only mineral ingredient that provides true broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays on its own. It's reef-conscious, non-irritating, and stable under prolonged sun exposure — which is why it's the only active ingredient we use.
SPF 50 blocks approximately 98% of UVB rays. The bigger factor is consistent reapplication — the right formula you'll actually keep applying beats a higher SPF you stop using because it feels wrong on your skin.
Yes. Our formulas contain no oxybenzone or octinoxate and align with Hawaii Act 104 standards — the most protective reef safety legislation in the US.
Every two hours minimum — or immediately after swimming, sweating heavily, or towel drying. No exceptions if you're spending serious time outside.
