The Aussie brand behind a best-selling sunscreen with more than 1,500 five-star reviews has unveiled its pocket-sized trio line-up, designed for SPF on the go.
Ultra Violette has downsized three of its hero SKINSCREEN products - Future Fluid, Vibrant Screen and fan favourite Supreme Screen, which sells one tube every 30 seconds globally.
After rolling out across the UK, US and Canada, the full Mini Mates collection has finally landed in Australia - and they're set to become your ultimate travel companion.
Now available in a 20mL super-slim format, the new generation of sunscreen slips effortlessly into your daily routine - from your jeans pocket or activewear to your gym bag, carry-on suitcase or purse.
'At Ultra Violette, we are advocates for SPF that looks and feels like skincare. That's why we call our products SKINSCREENS because they are all a blend of both,' Ultra Violette co-founder Bec Jefferd told Daily Mail.
'We also know that sunscreen applied only in the morning isn't providing enough protection to last throughout the day, so, we created Mini Mates to make SPF portable, or pocketable.
'This means anyone can take a more convenient sized SPF in your pocket, or your purse to keep your skin protected wherever you go throughout the day.'
Tried and tested under Australia's harsh conditions, the brand's SPF formula sits beautifully under makeup without leaving any greasy shine or white cast - something that's not easy to come by.
Your Supreme Screen Mini Mate makes daily SPF defence fully portable, made to slip into your day just as easily as it slides into your fave denim, handbag, car door, or gym bag. Basically, if you're heading out? You can definitely count your Mini Mate in.

Ideal for midday top-ups, weekend getaways, travelling abroad or simply for those try-before-you-buy-the-full-size types, Mini Mates make SPF easy to reapply throughout the day.
'The mini format is great for travel, to throw in your handbag or gym bag, your side pocket or phone pouch. Basically, any situation where you will need sunscreen on-the-go… and who doesn't need that?' Bec said.
Mini Mates have already proven popular among shoppers around the world - so much so that many are picking up one for every bag - from work to the beach and the gym.
'It's been really positive, people love anything mini especially when it is practical and cute,' Bec said.
'We love hearing that by providing a convenient SPF, people are topping up more and therefore protecting their skin more frequently throughout the day.'
Formulated to help protect the skin from UVA and UVB exposure, Mini Mates support everyday sun protection when used as directed.
What takes them to another level is that they are refillable - so shoppers can top up their Mini Mates with their full-size counterparts.

Supreme Screen SPF50+ Hydrating SKINSCREEN is the first in the Mini Mates line-up, making its debut in Australia earlier this year
Supreme Screen
Supreme Screen SPF50+ Hydrating SKINSCREEN is the first in the Mini Mates line-up, making its debut in Australia earlier this year.
And it's no surprise Aussies are loving the mini version of the cult-favourite 75mL tube, which boasts more than 1,600 glowing reviews on its website.
'Supreme Screen is our global best-selling SPF; we sell one every 30 seconds. We call this product our one-and-done because it's a moisturiser, primer and sunscreen all in one. I love the versatility of it,' Bec explained.
Supreme Screen SPF 50+ is your skin's hydrating, glow-giving triple treat - a moisturiser, primer and SPF 50+ protection in one cream formula.
A hydrating, high SPF formula with a clean scent, Supreme is an all-rounder that's perfect for normal to dry skin, or anyone who doesn't know which SPF is right for them.
Suitable for all skin types, the lightweight formula has a satin finish and subtle scent, and is packed with antioxidants and hydrating, skin-loving ingredients - so you can skip moisturiser for this ultra-hydrating, super-luxe cream.
'It's super hydrating because of ingredients like Pentavitin, Squalane and Kakadu Plum, and provides the number one essential - very high SPF50+ protection,' she said.
Future Fluid
Future Fluid is a superlight mineral SPF50+ serum that leaves skin with a hydrating yet non-greasy finish, without that suffocating, heavy feeling of traditional lotions.
The super light zinc formula is not only ideal for those who prefer a mineral sunscreen, but it's also suitable for all skin types, including normal, combination, sensitive and oily.
Downsized to do big things, Future Fluid SPF 50+ Mini Mate is a 20ml ultra-slim tube made to slip into your day just as easily as they slide into your fave denim or the side zip of your gym bag.
Always read the label. Follow the directions for use. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure. Wear a hat, protective clothing, and sunglasses when exposed to the sun. Re-apply frequently.

The beauty buy contains Japanese zinc, which is gentle on the skin and non-greasy, vitamin E for soothing, Squalane to help prevent moisture loss and Pentavitin to boost hydration for up to 72 hours.
'Future Fluid, which we launched last year, is formulated with a unique Japanese Zinc which is super lightweight and unlike other mineral formulation on the market, it's been hugely popular globally,' Bec explained.
Vibrant screen
Rounding out the Mini Mate line-up is Vibrant Screen SPF50 Active Facial SKINSCREEN, a refreshing water-gel sunscreen that quickly absorbs into the skin - leaving an invisible satin finish without any sticky residue.
The lightweight formula is ideal for anyone in need of a cool-down, particularly those who exercise regularly - whether it's a Pilates workout, early morning run club or are stuck on a packed train in the heat.
Suitable for all skin types, the sweat-safe formula offers up to two hours of water resistance and is packed with antioxidants to brighten, calm and hydrate the skin, including IBR-Solage, aloe vera and Kakadu plum.
With SPF 50 broad spectrum protection, Vibrant Screen will leave your skin with a fresh, non-greasy glow.
From an early morning run club meet to a steamy Pilates workout, Vibrant Screen SPF 50 Mini Mate is here to keep pace and stay put on that pretty face.
Ideal for midday top-ups, tight travel, festival weekends and any other time your full-size declines a trip outside.
Always read the label. Follow the directions for use. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure. Wear a hat, protective clothing, and sunglasses when exposed to the sun. Re-apply frequently.

Customer-approved minis
Fans have been obsessing over the new Mini Mates - and it's not hard to see why.
'The cutest! I absolutely adore this. It's such a good way to not only try this sunscreen, but also a handy size to carry in my handbag. This sunscreen is so seamless and silky and my skin looks amazing whenever I use it. And the handy size is just the cherry on top, now I can easily reapply on the go,' one shopper raved.
'This is hands down the best sunscreen I have ever used. I have been using this brand for years and gone through more bottles than I can count. It's super glowy and keeps your skin hydrated all day. I never leave the house without this mini in my bag,' another shared.
'I bought the Mini Mate to take on holiday with me instead of bringing my large bottle, and also as a good one to keep in my bag to reapply during the day. I LOVE the product, and highly recommend it! It never makes me break out and feels super hydrating,' one revealed.
'Love easy to apply on the go SPF! Packaging is on point,' another added.
The brand has extensively retested its entire range at multiple independent labs and consistently recorded SPF results of over 50

About Ultra Violette
Melbourne founders Ava Matthews and Bec Jefferd launched Ultra Violette in early 2019.
Over the years, Ultra Violette has become one of the go-to sunscreen brands, earning a legion of fans around the world.
'It really comes down to our formulations and the care we put into both the texture and finishes of our products. Ultra Violette was born from the concept of taking the grudge step out of SPF,' Bec told Daily Mail.
'We wanted to make sunscreen that felt like top shelf skincare and was seamlessly incorporated into an everyday skincare regimen, products that could be layered and sit beautifully under makeup.
'We focus on textures that feel almost undetectable on the skin and finishes like glowy, satin or matte depending on your preference.'

The brand has extensively retested its entire range at multiple independent labs and consistently recorded SPF results of over 50.
'SPF is the number one thing you can do for your skin. It's the one thing dermatologists tell you to do to protect your skin from ageing and its overall health,' she said.
'We've designed our range to make SPF application easier than ever and more than that - a joy to wear. We always say the best SPF is the one you want to wear every day, so find one you like and stick to it.
'Our product development team are constantly trying out new formulations, textures and finishes to cater for all skin types so we really hope everyone can find their perfect SPF match in our range.'
Ultra Violette has been working on 'new and exciting' ideas behind the scenes, with a product line-up already planned out until 2028.

'We are always working away to innovate in the SPF space,' Bec said.
'But for 2026, we are working on two more launches - another mineral SKINSCREEN and one for acne prone skin and super mattifying, which is super exciting launching just in time for a hot Australian summer.'
Every year, Ultra Violette hosts its popular Skinvestment Day - its biggest and only major sale of the year, where shoppers can snap up two-for-one deals on its popular sunscreen range.
For best results, apply sunscreen generously 20 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours, or more often when sweating, swimming, or towel drying. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and wear protective clothing, hats, and eyewear when exposed to the sun.
Ultra Violette's new Mini Mates are available now on its website and will launch at Sephora and Adore Beauty over May.
Always read the label. Follow the directions for use. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure. Wear a hat, protective clothing, and sunglasses when exposed to the sun. Re-apply frequently.
