BLOG | SHADE: SO MUCH MORE

THAN SUN PROTECTION

Shade's versatility makes it a staple not just for sun defence, but also for soothing and nourishing skin in so many other ways. Whether you’re taming irritations, keeping your skin hydrated, or even looking after your horses, Shade is a little pot of magic with endless uses. Let’s dive in!

Tame Outdoor Irritations in a Snap

For those of us who love to be outside, whether working the land, enjoying the countryside, or caring for animals, skin irritations can be a constant battle. But next time nettles or itchy hay get under your skin—literally—don’t reach for just any cream. Shade has your back, naturally! If you’ve ever accidentally brushed against nettles or felt your skin prickle from handling hay and straw, you’ll know how irritating it can be. An application of Shade can bring quick relief. The coconut oil soothes and moisturises, while zinc oxide calms the redness and irritation. You’ll be back to your day without missing a beat. My daughter and I spent a morning unloading a trailer with the winter's hay bales a few weeks ago, and the scratched and irritated skin on my arms at the end of the day was incredibly sore and tender. I rubbed Shade all over it and literally within minutes it was soothed. Magic!

The Ultimate After-Sun Soother

Long days in the sun—whether at the beach, on a hike, or just in the garden—can leave your skin feeling a little tender. Shade steps in as the perfect after-sun remedy, giving your skin the love it needs after all that UV exposure. After a day under the sun, your skin needs some TLC. Shade’s shea butter and coconut oil dive deep into your skin, providing hydration and soothing any dryness or irritation. Meanwhile, beeswax locks in that moisture, ensuring lasting relief. It’s the after-sun balm your skin has been craving.

A Lip Balm and Moisturiser You’ll Always Want Handy

Dry lips? Rough patches? Shade’s got you covered—literally. Thanks to its rich blend of nourishing ingredients, Shade is an incredible all-purpose balm that can keep your skin soft and hydrated from head to toe. Windburn, chapped lips, or rough elbows don’t stand a chance with Shade in your pocket. Its shea butter and coconut oil keep your lips soft and supple, while beeswax seals in the hydration. And for those annoying dry patches, Shade is your go-to solution. A little goes a long way, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth and protected. For those of you like me in my 50s, you'll fondly remember the heady days of the 80s when pale lips were the trend!!

Gentle Help for Sensitive Skin Conditions

Sensitive skin? Eczema? Psoriasis? Finding products that don’t irritate but actually soothe can be tricky. Thankfully, Shade’s simple, natural formula makes it a calming choice for anyone dealing with these skin issues. With its gentle yet effective blend of shea butter, coconut oil, and zinc oxide, Shade helps reduce inflammation, itchiness, and irritation. For those with sensitive skin, Shade provides a natural, soothing alternative that you can trust, day in and day out.

A Heart-Warming Story of Sun-Damaged Skin

One of the many moving stories we’ve heard comes from a Shade user in her sixties, who spent years under the tropical sun, protecting her and her children’s skin as best as she could. She noticed a patch of sun-damaged skin on her face and, after just 10 days of using Shade, saw remarkable improvements. The redness faded, the flakiness lessened, and her skin felt calmer. Shade’s simple, natural formula worked wonders where other creams hadn’t. It’s proof that Shade is more than just sunscreen—it can also be a balm for healing and restoring damaged skin.

Helping Heal Minor Cuts and Scrapes

Life’s little accidents—a scratch here, a scrape there—happen to all of us. Instead of reaching for conventional ointments, why not go natural? The beeswax in Shade creates a protective barrier, shielding minor cuts and scrapes from dirt while coconut oil and shea butter moisturise the skin to aid in faster healing. Zinc oxide helps reduce inflammation and promotes recovery, making Shade a handy balm for those everyday nicks and scrapes.

Gentle Care for Nappy Rash

If you’re a parent, finding a gentle yet effective solution for nappy rash is essential. Shade’s natural formulation makes it a fantastic choice for little ones with sensitive skin. Shade provides gentle relief for nappy rash, forming a moisture-resistant barrier with beeswax and soothing hydration from coconut oil and shea butter. It’s a natural, safe solution for keeping your baby’s skin protected, soft, and comfortable.

A Secret Weapon for Horses with White Muzzles

And it’s not just us humans who benefit from Shade—equestrians take note! Horses with white muzzles are especially vulnerable to sunburn, and Shade’s non-nano zinc oxide offers the perfect natural protection for these sensitive areas. It’s easy to apply, and with Shade’s all-natural ingredients, you can feel confident knowing it’s safe for your beloved animals too.

Everyday Moisturiser

Shade isn’t just a one-trick pony—it’s a fantastic all-purpose moisturiser for everyday use. Whether you’re battling winter dryness or keeping your skin protected from the elements, Shade’s nourishing formula helps keep your skin soft and healthy year-round.
