At Rory Grace Beauty, we pride ourselves on curating exceptional products that align with our values of wellness, sustainability and innovation. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce MOTHER SPF to our shelves—a natural mineral sunscreen brand with a story as inspiring as its formulations.
The Story Behind MOTHER SPF
MOTHER SPF was founded in 2019 by Tandia Walsh, a visionary with a background in science and a deep connection to nature. Growing up on the coastlines of Western Australia, Tandia inherited a passion for preserving the ocean from her parents, pearl farm owners outside of Broome. Summers spent fishing, crabbing, and camping led to a natural progression of studying science, majoring in Marine Biology.
In 2016, Tandia’s world shifted on its axis when her mother, who previously had Melanoma, was diagnosed with another bout of cancer. The news evoked a heightened urgency for organic food and natural skincare products. Tandia took it upon herself to ensure her mum specifically eliminated anything containing endocrine-disrupting properties that could harm her newly sensitive skin. It was then, while trying to find safe and effective skincare, that she discovered how many SPF brands contain questionable ingredients that are not only harmful to the body but to the environment.
Using her background in science, Tandia began her journey into creating an SPF that not only protected skin against the sun but used safe sustainable ingredients that nourished the skin and didn’t compromise on aesthetics. After four years of research, MOTHER SPF was launched in late 2019, with one product: an Australian-made mineral SPF that met the highest global SPF testing and manufacturing standards in the world.
The MOTHER Mission
MOTHER SPF is a clean mineral SPF, and its mission is to make a meaningful difference in the sun care industry.
They don’t believe good sun protection should come at a compromise to your health or the environment and the best SPF is the one you reach for every morning. That’s why MOTHER SPF created a 100% clean and eco-friendly sunscreen that doesn’t compromise on the cosmetic appeal of a mainstream product. With MOTHER SPF, it’s now easy to switch to a natural alternative. Keep your skin and the environment protected with MOTHER SPF.
What Makes MOTHER SPF Special?
MOTHER SPF isn’t just another sunscreen—it’s a commitment to health and sustainability. Here’s why it stands out:
-
All-Natural Solution: All MOTHER SPF’s natural ingredients are sourced from known and trusted suppliers. They only use 9 ingredients because less is more. Unlike conventional sunscreens that can contain up to 85% water, MOTHER SPF is formulated water-free. This decision eliminates the need for preservatives and other synthetic compounds like emulsifiers, stabilizers, and thickeners, leaving room for pure, unrefined ingredients in their natural form.
-
100% Natural Mineral Formulas: Using zinc oxide as the active ingredient, MOTHER SPF provides broad-spectrum protection without relying on chemical filters. This makes it safe for sensitive skin and the environment.
-
Reef-Safe and Eco-Friendly: Many sunscreens contain chemicals that harm marine ecosystems. MOTHER SPF’s reef-safe formula ensures you can enjoy the sun without compromising the oceans.
-
Sustainably Packaged: MOTHER SPF’s packaging is minimal and impactful. The product is delivered in a protective recycled box and compostable mailer bag, while the tubes are made from 100% post-consumer plastics. The production process is powered by 100% solar energy, and the brand is certified carbon positive.
-
Performance Meets Purity: With a lightweight, non-greasy texture, MOTHER SPF is a joy to use daily. It blends seamlessly, leaving no white cast—a common challenge with mineral sunscreens.
