How to use it

Where it goes, and how

Solid zinc where the sun hits hardest.

  1. Step 1: Draw it on

    Wind up a little of the stick and draw a solid layer across your nose, cheekbones and ear tips, then anywhere else the sun hits first.

  2. Step 2: Bold or blended

    Leave brights and white as proper stripes. With a skin tone, feather the edge with a fingertip, but leave the layer thick: that layer is doing the protecting.

  3. Step 3: Go again

    Reapply every two hours, and after swimming, sweating or towel drying. Keep it out of your eyes.

FAQs

Extreme Zinc Stick questions

What's the difference between Extreme and the 12g sticks?

Extreme sticks are 15g and come in 11 shades, with zinc oxide 25% plus three other sunscreen filters. Our 12g sticks come in white, two skin tones and four colours. All are SPF 50+ and 4 hours water resistant, and any of them count towards mix & match.

Which shade should I choose?

Tan, Bronze and Golden Brown are skin tones that blend in. Shell White is the classic white stripe. Coral Pink, Red Flash, Orange Sun, Yellow Sand, Green Sea, Blue Bay and Purple Sky are made to stand out.

Can I wear the skin tones like make-up?

Yes. Many people use Tan, Bronze or Golden Brown like a foundation or contour, and Coral Pink on the cheeks. It's still your sunscreen, so keep a good layer on and reapply. Beauty application guide

Is it waterproof?

Nothing is waterproof, sunscreen included. It's rated 4 hours water resistant. Still reapply every two hours, and after swimming, sweating or towel drying.

Is zinc the only active ingredient?

No. Alongside zinc oxide it uses octinoxate, octocrylene and diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate. For a sunscreen where zinc oxide is the only active, go for Pure Zinc SPF 50.

Can kids use it?

Yes, children over 6 months.

How do the mix & match savings work?

Mix any single zinc sticks: Extreme, skin tone, white or colour. Buy 2 and save 10%, 3 and save 15%, or 4 or more and save 20%. The saving comes off automatically at checkout. Value packs are already discounted, so they don't count towards it.

What takes it off?

It's built to hang on, so water alone won't shift it. Rub in a cleansing oil or balm to loosen it, then wash with warm water and soap.

Where is Sun Zapper made?

Right here in Australia. We're an Aussie-owned company and we've been making zinc sunscreen at home since 1995.
