- How to Use
Save on shelf space. Store our sunscreens upright with this clever tube holder made from recycled wood that would otherwise go to landfill. Each tube holder is lovingly hand made by the members of Ellenbrook Men’s Shed. They have been so supportive of our project from the start and we are very grateful for them. Proceeds from this purchase supports their community. Discount codes do not apply for this product as proceeds support local Men Sheds.
Men Sheds are a “community-based, non-profit, non-commercial organization that is accessible to all men and whose primary activity is the provision of a safe and friendly environment where men are able to work on meaningful projects at their own pace in their own time in the company of other men. A major objective is to advance the well-being and health of their male members”. (Australian Men’s Shed Association)
Testimony from a Men Shed member: “It’s hard for men to open up to each other and harder to make friends as we grow older. We start talking to each other by making things together. This place has changed my life for the better.” (Colin, Ellenbrook Men Shed)
HOW TO DISPOSE: General waste bin or Verge bulk waste collection.
Majority of the wood at Ellenbrook Men’s Shed is donated from organizations and the general public. It is hard to determine whether the wood has been treated with preservative chemicals or untreated. As such, we recommend disposing of the wood in your general waste bin and not the green bin or home compost. Thank you.

FAQ
How long does it last?
Great question! Our sunscreens have a 3 year shelf life. Our unique formula contains no water which means it last longer than most commercial sunscreens. Please see crimp of tube for expiry date.
Is this sunscreen vegan & cruelty free?
100% YES! Our sunscreen contains no animal products and we will never ever EVER test our sunscreen on animals. Unless you count our friend Matt who is abit wild and hairy.
Is this safe for babies and kids?
YASS. Sunslayer is safe for babies above 6 months of age, children and those with sensitive skin. As with any new product, we recommend a patch test first to check for any sensitivity.
What about babies under 6 months of age?
Well, the TGA and Australasian College of Dermatologists recommend minimising the use of sunscreen on babies less than 6 months of age by using only on small portions of the body that can’t be covered by clothing and shade. Again, always spot check first.
Can I use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
YES - our sunscreen is safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your skin might be sensitive during this time (thanks hormones) so it's good to use a natural physical sunscreen like ours.
However we advise that you speak to your doctor first before starting any new skincare routines or if you have any concerns.
