All about the Sun Zapper Zinc Stick

 

What is a Sun Zapper Zinc Stick?

A Zinc Stick is a type of mineral-based sun protection that uses zinc oxide as the active ingredient. Zinc oxide acts as a physical barrier, reflecting and scattering UV rays before they can penetrate the skin.

How does a zinc stick sunscreen work?

Zinc stick sunscreens work by sitting on the surface of the skin, creating a protective layer that reflects and scatters UV radiation. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV rays, zinc oxide-based sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

What are the benefits of using a zinc stick sunscreen?

The key benefits of using a zinc stick sunscreen include:

  • Broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays
  • Water-resistant formula for active lifestyles
  • Gentle and non-irritating for sensitive skin
  • Easy, mess-free application
  • Natural, mineral-based, and reef-safe ingredients

How do I apply a zinc stick sunscreen?

To apply a zinc stick sunscreen, simply glide the stick directly onto your skin, covering all exposed areas. Be sure to apply a generous amount for optimal protection, and reapply every 2-3 hours, or more often if you're sweating or swimming.

Are zinc stick sunscreens safe for children?

Yes, zinc stick sunscreens are generally considered safe for children, as they contain mineral-based, non-irritating ingredients. However, it's always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician before using any new sun protection product on your child.

How do I store my zinc stick sunscreen?

To maintain the integrity of your zinc stick sunscreen, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures. Avoid leaving it in your car or exposed to extreme heat, as this can cause the product to melt or become less effective.

Can I use a zinc stick sunscreen on my face?

Absolutely! Our zinc stick sunscreens are formulated to be gentle and non-irritating, making them an excellent choice for use on the delicate skin of the face. Simply glide the stick directly onto your face, blending it in for a smooth, even application.

Incorporating Zinc Sticks into Your Sun-Safe Routine

Incorporating a zinc stick sunscreen into your daily sun protection routine is a simple yet effective way to safeguard your skin. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your zinc stick:

Apply Generously

For optimal protection, be sure to apply a generous amount of the zinc stick to all exposed areas of your skin, including your face, neck, ears, and any other exposed areas.

Reapply Frequently

Even water-resistant zinc sticks need to be reapplied every 2-3 hours, or more often if you're sweating or swimming.

Combine with Other Sun Protection

While zinc sticks provide excellent sun protection on their own, they can be even more effective when used in conjunction with other sun-safe practices, such as wearing protective clothing, seeking shade, and using a wide-brimmed hat.

Store Properly

To maintain the integrity of your zinc stick, be sure to store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures.
