The One & Done Untinted Mineral Sunscreen features an ultra light, advanced mineral formula with 9.5% Zinc Oxide, a powerful UV filter that provides superior UVA and UVB protection. It sits on the skin’s surface, physically blocking and scattering UV rays for all-day protection.
Staying true to our One & Done philosophy, this hydrating sunscreen is enriched with 3% Vitamin E to deliver essential hydration, eliminating the need for a separate moisturiser. It's fast-absorbing mousse texture melts effortlessly into the skin, allowing it to breathe while keeping it fresh, hydrated, and protected. Ultra light and non-greasy, it's the perfect sunscreen for oily skin—and doubles as a smooth, even base for makeup.
We asked hundreds of women about sunscreen: why they use it, what they want from it, and why they skip it. This is what we heard:
"Sunscreens feel sticky."
"I hate the white cast."
"I need one product that does it all."
We heard you!
That’s why we created One & Done Untinted Mineral Sunscreen—ultra light, invisible, non-greasy, and nourishing with ultimate protection - all in one easy step.
Acts as a physical shield, blocks both UVA and UVB rays from penetrating your skin. It is suitable for sensitive skin as it’s less likely to cause irritation like other chemical filters. It is completely photostable and resistant to water - so it won’t break down when exposed to the sun and will hold up through sweat and activities such as swimming for much longer.
A potent antioxidant that removes free radicals that cause oxidative stress, a major cause of the deterioration of your skin’s collagen layer. It also works effectively to hydrate as it is both a humectant to help attract and absorb water into the skin and an emollient to prevent moisture loss.

What is a Mineral Sunscreen?
Mineral sunscreen is a sun protection option made with natural, physical ingredients such as Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. These minerals create a protective layer on the skin's surface, reflecting or scattering UV rays, unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb into the skin.
What do the terms ‘SPF’, ‘PA’ & ‘Broad Spectrum’ stand for?
SPF (Sun Protection Factor): Indicates the level of protection a product offers against UVB rays, which cause sunburn and skin damage.
PA: A Japanese rating system that measures protection against UVA rays, which contribute to skin ageing. It ranges from PA+ (low) to PA++++ (highest).
Broad Spectrum: Refers to sunscreens that shield against both UVA and UVB rays, ensuring comprehensive sun protection.
Is SPF 50 sunscreen necessary?
SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays, providing slightly more protection than SPF 30, which blocks around 97%. While higher SPF offers extra defence, it’s essential to re-apply sunscreen every two hours—or more often if swimming or sweating—to ensure continuous protection.
Does mineral sunscreen need to be reapplied?
The Zinc Oxide in mineral sunscreen is photostable and remains effective for longer. However, activities like swimming, sweating, or wiping your face during a workout can reduce its effectiveness. In these situations, we recommend reapplying sunscreen to maintain effective protection against the sun. For a convenient touch-up, you can use our SPF Top-Up Loose Powder.
