Product Overview
Hampton Sun SPF 30 Mineral Lotion is a lightweight body sunscreen developed to provide broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection through 20% non-nano Zinc Oxide. The breathable lotion spreads smoothly over the skin and blends to a sheer finish while helping maintain softness and comfort.
The formula is enriched with Red Marine Algae, also known as Lithothamnion Calcareum Extract. Naturally rich in marine minerals, this ingredient helps hydrate and soothe the skin while supporting the natural moisture barrier.
Designed for daily sun exposure, travel and outdoor activities, the lotion is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes. Its 3.2 fl. oz. format is compact enough for a handbag, beach bag or carry-on.
Recommended For
- Daily broad-spectrum body sun protection
- Normal, dry or weather-exposed skin
- Skin that benefits from added moisture during sun exposure
- Outdoor activities, travel, sports and beach days
- Clients who prefer a mineral sunscreen without chemical UV filters
- Anyone seeking a lightweight, breathable body lotion with SPF 30
As with many zinc-based mineral sunscreens, the formula may leave a visible cast on deeper skin tones. Apply carefully and blend thoroughly for the most even finish.
Texture and Experience
The lotion has a lightweight, breathable texture that initially applies white and blends to a sheer, smooth finish. It leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated rather than heavy or greasy.
Hampton Sun's signature Privet Bloom scent gives the application a crisp, refined finish suitable for everyday body care.
Care Step
Use as the final protective step of the morning body-care routine, after moisturizer and before sun exposure. Pair it with an appropriate facial sunscreen and lip SPF for complete coverage of exposed areas.

Professional Recommendation
Mineral sunscreen performs best when coverage is even and complete. Take extra care around the shoulders, chest, hands, feet and other exposed areas that are frequently missed during body application.
A mineral formula rewards a slower application than a transparent one. Work in sections, give the zinc a moment to settle rather than rubbing it in until it vanishes, and expect a soft sheer veil instead of a fully invisible finish; on deeper skin tones a light cast can remain, so blend at the jawline and wrist edges where it shows most. Keep the tube in the bag you actually carry, use it after moisturizer, follow the label directions, add facial and lip SPF, take shade and covered clothing when the sun is high, and consult a professional if sensitivity or irritation develops.
Safety Information
Apply generously to all exposed skin about 15 minutes before you go outside, and reapply at least every two hours. Reapply right away after swimming, toweling off or heavy sweating: the water and sweat resistance holds for up to 80 minutes, not longer. Treat sunscreen as one layer of protection next to shade, a hat and covering clothing, never as a replacement for them. Avoid contact with the eyes, and rinse with water if any gets in. For external use only.
Not recommended for:
- Children under 6 months of age.
- Broken, freshly shaved or actively irritated skin.
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to zinc oxide or added fragrance.
- Occasions where you need a completely invisible finish on deep skin tones.
- Use as your only sun measure during long midday exposure, without shade or covering clothing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from Classic Sun SPF 30 Lotion?
This lotion protects with 20% non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral filter that sits
on the surface of the skin and suits people who prefer to avoid chemical UV
filters. Classic Sun SPF 30 Lotion
uses four transparent filters instead and leaves no visible cast at all. Same
SPF 30 broad-spectrum rating, different finish: choose mineral for a
zinc-based formula, choose Classic Sun when invisibility on skin matters most.
Will it leave a white cast?
It applies white and blends down to a sheer finish. On deeper skin tones a
light cast can still be visible, which is normal for a 20% zinc formula. If
that is a concern, the transparent
Classic Sun SPF 30 Lotion is the better match.
How often should I reapply?
Every two hours at minimum, and immediately after swimming, drying off with a
towel or sweating heavily. The 80-minute water resistance is the outer limit
of a single application.
Can I use it on my face?
It is formulated for the body. For the face, the
Age-Defying SPF 50 Mineral Face Crème
and the SPF 50 Mineral Face Stick
are designed for facial skin, with the
SPF 30 Mineral Moisture Lip Balm for lips.
Is the 3.2 fl. oz. size good for travel?
Yes. The compact size is TSA-approved and fits a handbag, beach bag or
carry-on, which makes reapplying away from home realistic rather than
optional.
