Skinnies NZ | Sungel, Conquer SPF50+ Sunscreen | Zilion
Skinnies in New Zealand
Skinnies makes concentrated, water-free sunscreens. Because there is no water bulking out the formula, a pea-sized amount covers the face, neck and ears, so a small tube lasts far longer than you might expect. The other thing people notice straight away is the finish: the gels go on clear, with no white cast and no heavy, greasy feel.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of Skinnies, with 10 products listed across four formulas: Sungel SPF30, Conquer SPF50+, Kids Sun Buster SPF50 and Sheer Glow Tint SPF50+. With New Zealand's strong UV, a sunscreen that is pleasant enough to wear every day matters, and you can buy Skinnies online in NZ here in sizes from 35ml to 200ml.
About Skinnies
The Skinnies approach is concentration. Water-free formulas mean less product per application and less packaging, and the gels absorb quickly without leaving skin sticky. Each formula gives broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, and the range is split by how you spend your day.
Sungel SPF30 is the everyday clear gel. It glides on, adapts to your skin tone, leaves skin silky and hydrated, is water resistant and works well under makeup. Conquer SPF50+ is ultra-concentrated, very high protection for active days, and it is water and sweat resistant for sport, travel and the beach. Kids Sun Buster SPF50 is a gentle, very high protection formula made for children's sensitive skin, also water and sweat resistant. Sheer Glow Tint SPF50+ adds a sheer tint in Light or Bronze that evens skin tone and can replace foundation on minimal-makeup days.
Skinnies' directions are simple and worth following: start with a pea-sized amount for the face, neck and ears, rub it in 15 to 20 minutes before going outside, and reapply at least every two hours and after swimming, sweating or towel drying.
