Mosquitoes are the most harmful animals to humans, linked to 700,000+ deaths globally each year through diseases like malaria, dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Tiny? Yes. Harmless? Definitely not. Luckily, nature gives us allies—from insect‑eating bats to smarter skin protection choices. Today, we’re excited to launch one of those allies: Sun Zapper Pure Zinc Anti Mozzie Sunscreen.

Why We Created It

At Sun Zapper, we live outdoors—surfing, camping, competing, photographing, and chasing sun all over the coast. Where there’s warm weather and water, there are mozzies. And while you’re reaching for sunscreen anyway, why not choose one that brings serious mineral sun protection and includes organic citronella oil—a natural aromatic used to help deter mosquitoes from landing?

Pure Zinc Anti Mozzie Sunscreen is built for families, travellers, adventurers, and anyone who’s had a dawn patrol or dusk BBQ invaded by buzzing pests.

Key Benefits at a Glance

25% Zinc Oxide (Non‑Nano) – High‑level mineral shield. Physical blocker, photostable, and gentle on skin.
Broad Spectrum Protection – Shields against UVA & UVB. (Zinc oxide reflects/scatters across the UV spectrum; while UVC doesn’t normally reach ground level, zinc helps form a full physical barrier.)
80 Minutes Water Resistance – Ideal for beach sessions, pool days, and sweaty outdoor sport.
Organic Citronella Oil – Naturally aromatic; traditionally used to discourage mosquitoes. (Use with normal mozzie‑wise habits—long sleeves at dusk, nets in high‑risk regions, etc.)
Rubs in Clear – Surprising for a high‑zinc formula! Goes on smoothly; no thick white cast.
Vegan & Organic Base – No animal‑derived ingredients.
Paraben Free – Formulated without parabens.
Safe for Children 6+ Months – Gentle mineral protection; patch test first and consult your healthcare professional for very young or sensitive skin.
Suitable for All Skin Types – Sensitive‑skin friendly mineral actives.
Tottally Reef Friendly! – No Oxybenzone. No Octinoxate. Non-Nano Zinc Oxcide Mineral
Made in Australia – Formulated and filled close to our coastal roots.
TGA Authorised – Listed with Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration.
New Air Pump Tubes – Less mess. One‑handed application. Better dosing.

FAQs

Does Pure Zinc Anti Mozzie Sunscreen replace insect repellent?
It helps add a citronella scent layer that’s traditionally used to discourage mozzies, but it’s not a registered insecticide. In heavy mozzie pressure or disease‑risk areas, use additional protective measures.

Will the zinc leave me looking white?
Nope. Our formula is designed to rub in clear, even at 25% zinc oxide.

Is it safe for kids?
Yes—suitable for children over 6 months. Always patch test and follow your doctor’s advice for infants or highly sensitive skin.

Is it reef safe?
It’s formulated without oxybenzone or octinoxate, two UV filters that have raised marine health concerns in some regions.

How Pure Zinc Fits the Sun Zapper Lineup
