Aussie SunMate was born from a deep understanding of sun protection, performance, and the Australian way of life—where sport, adventure, and the outdoors are a part of our DNA.

Our journey started with a simple mission: to create a high-performance sunscreen that doesn’t just protect, but empowers people to play harder, longer, and safer under the sun. With a background in sports therapy and wellness, and years spent working with elite athletes, founder Helen Shao saw firsthand the challenges of staying sun-safe without compromising performance. Sweat, water, and movement made ordinary sunscreens ineffective—so Helen set out to create something better.

The Game-Changer Moment

The true test of Aussie SunMate came on the tennis courts. Tennis star Tomas Machac, facing the relentless heat of competition, was struggling with sunscreen that dripped into his eyes and failed to keep up with his game. That was until he tried Aussie SunMate. Its sweat-proof, non-greasy, and high-performance formula kept him protected without distraction—so much so that he and his coach, Danial Vacek , believed in it so much they became investors and part of the Aussie SunMate journey.

Designed for Australia’s toughest conditions, Aussie SunMate is SPF 50+, water-resistant, sweat-proof, and reef-safe—built to endure the harshest sun while being kind to the planet. Whether you're playing a Grand Slam match, hitting the waves, or enjoying a day out with family, we’ve got you covered.

Because the sun should never stop you from playing your best game.

Aussie SunMate – Put it on and play.

Australia’s sun is as fierce as its athletes. But for too long, sunscreen has been a compromise—greasy, sticky, and distracting. Aussie Sunmate was built to change that.

Our story starts with a simple yet frustrating reality: people weren’t skipping sunscreen because they didn’t care, but because it wasn’t designed for movement. Athletes wiped it off mid-game. Parents struggled with crying kids who hated the feel of it. Professionals spent years under the sun, knowing the risk but hating the solution.

That needed to change. Aussie Sunmate was created to take the hassle out of protection. A formula that works as hard as you do—sweat-proof, non-greasy, non-runny, and made to stay put under pressure. The sunscreen athletes can trust, parents can rely on, and kids won’t fight against.

We’re here to raise the standard of sun protection. No compromises. No excuses. Just defense where it matters most.

Aussie SunMate isn’t just about protection—it’s about making a real impact. We are proud to work alongside the Australian Skincare Foundation, reinforcing our commitment to education, innovation, and awareness of sun safety. We believe that everyone—athletes, families, and adventurers—deserves the best protection without compromise.
