If you’ve ever had to wrestle your child just to apply a protective layer of sunscreen on them before heading to the beach, the park, or even school, you’ll know that sun safety can be one of the most frustrating parts of parenting. Between the greasy textures, overpowering smells, and the sticky aftermath, sunscreen can spark some serious meltdowns in even the most easy-going kids. And for some children, especially those with sensitive skin or strong reactions to touch, just the idea of being slathered in thick lotion is too much to cope with.

Mum of three, Dina Rosendorff, tired of the daily sunscreen struggle and unable to find a better product, took matters into her own hands and created one. In 2024, Diana launched Barefoot Labs, an Australian-made suncare brand born out of her real-world parenting frustrations. Her goal was to reimagine sunscreen as something children would actually enjoy using without compromising on safety or performance. The result is WhipScreen™ SPF50 Sunscreen Mousse — a product that is quickly becoming a favourite with families across Australia.

Instead of a heavy cream or sticky lotion, WhipScreen ™is a lightweight, whipped mousse that’s designed to melt into the skin with zero fuss. It’s SPF50, TGA-approved, and absorbs in seconds, meaning no more chasing your kids around the house with handfuls of greasy white goo. For families who dread the daily sunscreen routine, this airy texture is nothing short of game changing.

It also comes in four sensory-friendly options; Bubblegum, Watermelon, Glazed Donut and Anti-Scent (a completely fragrance-free version). So, whether your child loves sweet scents or needs something completely neutral, there’s an option to suit.

But, WhipScreen™ doesn’t just feel good, it’s been clinically tested, offers broad-spectrum SPF50 protection, and is water-resistant for up to two hours. It’s also enriched with Vitamin E, which helps to hydrate, calm, and strengthen the skin barrier, providing a gentle layer of nourishment alongside sun defence. Plus, it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and reef-friendly, making it as kind to the environment as it is to your child’s skin.

WhipScreen™ also leads the way in sunscreen safety. It’s Glazed Donut and Anti-Scent formulates are Homosalate-free — a forward-thinking move that aligns with global changes in sunscreen regulations, including the European ban and Australia’s upcoming reforms. By removing unnecessary chemical filters, Barfoot Labs is setting a new standard for safe, effective sun care for families.

But perhaps the most impressive thing about WhipScreen™ is how it transforms sunscreen from a daily battle into something playful, light, and even enjoyable. Kids are drawn to the mousse texture, and it’s fun, novel and easy to apply. Parents are loving the stress-free mornings and peace of mind that comes from knowing their children are properly protected.

Whether your child has sensitive skin, hates the feeling of sunscreen, or simply refuses to cooperate when they see the sunscreen looming, WhipScreen™ offers a smarter, more enjoyable solution.
