The sun’s out, and of course, we’re loving every moment of it! Especially for those of us in the UK; it’s rare that we ever get a glimmer from the sun’s rays. But while you’re soaking in the warmth (if you can even call it that anyway), it’s important to remember that protecting yours and your family’s skin should always be a top priority - especially those little ones and soon-to-be mums. If you’ve found your way here to OhSo Bare, then firstly - hi! You should already know that we’re a small brand big on saying no to nasties, toxic ingredients, and hidden chemicals. With so many suncreams on the shelves loaded with harsh, hormone-imbalancing chemicals, finding a safe, non-toxic alternative can feel somewhat overwhelming - especially when you’ve already lost faith in the brands you knew and loved . That’s exactly where we come in. Shameless plug? Of course.
Here, we’re not about shying away from the sun. Instead we want everyone to learn to embrace it, the safe way. Sunshine is key for vitamin D, but too much exposure can leave us with sunburns, accelerate ageing, and cause lasting skin damage - the not so fun side of your Mexican holiday. Babies in particular, have super sensitive skin which is often more vulnerable to harmful UV rays, and pregnancy can bring on hormonal changes, leaving your skin more prone to sun damage and pigmentation (hello, melasma!). That’s why choosing a suncream free from synthetic chemicals is important for the whole family, ensuring that everyone’s skin is protected without introducing harmful substances that can lead to some serious health concerns.
High-Street Suncreams
A lot of high-street suncreams are supercharged with toxic ingredients like oxybenzone, octinoxate, and parabens - chemicals that have been linked to hormone disruption, irritation, and environmental damage. While these suncreams may vouch to protect you from harmful UV rays, they can also introduce toxins into your skin and bloodstream, which is particularly concerning for pregnant women and babies - and anyone else for that matter. This makes it even more important to find a natural, non-toxic alternative that offers the same level of protection without the risks.
OhSo Bare: Non-Toxic Sun Protection
At OhSo Bare, we believe sun protection should be both effective and safe for every member of the family - with us, you can have exactly what Hannah Montana sung about - the best of both worlds. That’s why we’ve formulated our suncream using 100% natural, locally sourced ingredients, made in the heart of the UK - Manchester! We’ve carefully selected ingredients that nourish and protect your skin while still providing reliable protection against harmful UV rays. Our suncream is created with the belief that protection from the sun shouldn’t mean exposing your skin to harsh, toxic chemicals. Instead, we use ingredients like nourishing beef tallow and cold-pressed oils that are as kind to your skin as they are to the planet.
Our suncream is different from most high-street options because we’ve carefully selected every ingredient to be both skin-loving and effective. We use organic grass-fed tallow, which is rich in essential fatty acids, to deeply hydrate and protect the skin. It mimics the skin's natural oils, keeping your skin moisturised and shielded from the sun. We also use cold-pressed oils, which are unrefined and pure, helping to lock in moisture while offering a natural SPF boost. In addition, our suncream is packed with botanical infusions full of antioxidants to help combat free radical damage, ensuring your skin remains healthy and protected. We only use certified essential oils, which are selected for their skin-soothing and protective properties, without any synthetic fragrances or irritants.
With no synthetic additives, harsh preservatives, or chemical filters, our suncream is safe for newborns, pregnant women, and anyone looking for a cleaner, skin-loving SPF. It’s a sunscreen that you can trust to protect your family without worrying about any harmful chemicals.
To get the most out of OhSo Bare suncream, we recommend applying it generously to exposed areas at least 15 minutes before heading out into the sun. Reapply every two hours, or more often if you’re swimming or sweating. For babies under six months, it’s also a good idea to cover up with lightweight clothing, hats, and seek shade when possible, adding an extra layer of protection. While OhSo Bare provides effective sun protection, we always recommend being mindful of the sun’s intensity and reapplying sunscreen regularly to keep your family’s skin safe.
With OhSo Bare, you can embrace the sunshine with confidence, knowing your family’s skin is protected by a sunscreen that’s free from harmful chemicals. Say goodbye to synthetic ingredients and enjoy the sun naturally, without worrying about the damage that traditional sunscreens can cause. Whether you’re expecting, looking after a newborn, or just searching for a safer SPF for your family, OhSo Bare suncream is your go-to for clean, effective, and truly non-toxic sun care.
