Australian Made Sun Cream you Can Trust
For nearly three decades, Sun Zapper has been a trusted guardian of skin health. Born in the heart of Australia, where the sun's intensity is unmatched, we've harnessed our deep understanding of its power to create a range of high-quality sun protection products designed to shield you from its harmful effects.
Our products are meticulously formulated and tested to withstand even the most extreme conditions, ensuring your skin stays protected wherever your adventures take you. At the core of our formulations lies zinc oxide, a powerful mineral renowned for its broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Zinc oxide provides a physical barrier on the skin, effectively reflecting and scattering harmful sunlight.
We’re renowned for our iconic Sun Zapper zinc stick, a staple in sun protection for countless families. But our range extends far beyond that, offering a variety of sun cream lotions and other sun care options to cater to different skin types and preferences.
Sun Zapper is committed to protecting people's skin from the harmful effects of the sun. We believe in the importance of sun safety education and strive to raise awareness about the dangers of excessive sun exposure. By providing reliable and effective sun protection products, coupled with educational resources, we aim to empower individuals to enjoy the outdoors while safeguarding their skin's health.
Sun Zapper is operated in the United Kingdom by Carpeco UK. Our commitment to providing exceptional sun protection remains unwavering as we bring our Australian-born expertise to the UK market.
