Light Skin Tone Zinc Stick SPF 50+

A Sun Zapper favourite, now reformulated with a greater focus on performance in the water.

Our Original Light Skin Tone Zinc Stick SPF 50+ has been updated to enhance water resistance, making it ideal for surfing, swimming, water sports and active family days outdoors.

The new formulation has a slightly softer, smoother consistency than our previous formula, allowing it to glide easily across the skin and provide reliable coverage when you need it most.

With SPF 50+ broad spectrum UVA & UVB protection and 4 hours water resistance, it's made for long days at the beach, in the surf and outdoors.

Made for Surf, Sport & Family Beach Days

Compact, easy to apply and made for active lifestyles, the Original Light Skin Tone Zinc Stick is a great addition to the family beach bag.

The Light Skin Tone tint provides visible zinc protection without the traditional bright white appearance, making it easy to see where you've applied it.

Ideal for:

• Surfing & bodyboarding

• Swimming & water sports

• Beach days

• Fishing & boating

• Outdoor sports

• Active family days outdoors

A New Performance-Focused Formula

If you've used our Original Light Skin Tone Zinc Stick before, you may notice that the new formulation feels different.

The formula has been updated with a greater focus on water resistance and performance during surfing and water sports. As a result, it has a softer consistency and a different finish compared with our previous Light Skin Tone formula.

The Original Light Skin Tone Zinc Stick is now best suited to surf, sport, beach and active outdoor use.

Looking for a Beauty or Foundation-Style Finish?

If you previously loved using our Light Skin Tone Zinc Stick as a tinted sunscreen, everyday facial product or foundation-style zinc, we recommend our Sun Zapper Extreme Zinc Stick range.

The Extreme range is our recommended option for customers where cosmetic appearance, skin-tone matching and finish are a priority.

Choose from three skin-tone shades:

Tan | Bronze | Golden Brown

For beauty-focused application, start with Extreme Zinc Stick – Tan as the closest alternative to the previous Light Skin Tone experience.
