Who It's For

Surfers, kayakers, sailors, construction workers, farmers, hikers, skiers, and anyone exposed to prolonged, intense UV conditions. The beauty tones (Tan, Bronze, Coral Pink) also suit those wanting a natural or glam look with serious protection. Red Flash, Blue Bay, Purple Sky, and Orange Sun are bold statement colours for athletes and festival-goers.

Apply a thick, even layer to clean, dry skin at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Focus on nose, cheeks, ears, lips, and any area that takes a beating from the elements. Reapply every 2 hours, or after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. For best results in water sports, apply to dry skin and allow to set before entering the water.

Aloe Vera Extract

Soothes and hydrates skin during and after sun exposure.

Three things. First, it's 15g vs 12g — 25% more product. Second, the formula is engineered for extreme conditions with advanced UV filters for maximum durability through waves, sweat, wind, and prolonged sun exposure. Third, it stays put through repeated water immersion where standard sunscreen would wash off.

Rated for 4 hours of water resistance. It's specifically formulated to survive repeated submersion — surfing, bodyboarding, open-water swimming — not just poolside splashing.

Tan and Bronze blend into most skin tones for discreet protection. Shell White gives the classic bold zinc look. Coral Pink works beautifully as a blush. Blue Bay, Purple Sky, Orange Sun, Red Flash, Green Sea, and Yellow Sand are bold, eye-catching colours meant to be seen. Many customers use Tan as foundation, Bronze as bronzer, and Coral Pink as blush — it's sun protection that doubles as makeup.

Like any wax-based stick, it performs best at room temperature. In cold weather (skiing, early mornings), press the stick against your skin for a few seconds to warm it before swiping. The formula softens with body heat and goes on smoothly.

Anyone who spends extended time in harsh sun conditions: surfers, construction workers, hikers, skiers, fishers, farmers, lifeguards, cyclists, paddlers. But plenty of people choose it for the bold colours, larger size, and superior staying power — even for everyday use.

Yes. There are no parabens in the formula, and the fun colours make it popular with kids. However, for very young or sensitive skin, the Original Zinc Stick or the Pure Zinc range may be better suited.

The colours are designed to stay on your skin, not transfer to fabric. Let the stick set for a minute or two before putting on hats or clothing. The formula washes off with soap and water at the end of the day.
