Extreme Zinc Stick SPF 50+ 4-Hour Water-Resistant Mineral Sun Protection
We'll let you into a secret... After thirty years of creating Sun Zapper Zinc Sticks, we've finally improved on our original baby. Introducing... The Sun Zapper Extreme Zinc Stick. It's longer lasting, offers better protection, and is an all-round improved formula.
Perfect for sensitive areas (nose, ears, lips, shoulders etc), water sports, high-altitude activities, and anyone who needs serious, portable sun protection. Available in 10 vibrant colours to match your skin tone or personal style.
The Extreme Sunblock Stick, a 30 Year Evolution
For three decades, Sun Zapper has perfected mineral sunscreen. Our original zinc stick earned cult status among water sports athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and dermatologists. But we knew we could make it better.
We listened to customers, studied performance in extreme conditions (Australian heat, ocean environments, high-altitude UV), and completely reformulated. The result? The Extreme Stick—same trusted zinc protection, improved usability.

DESIGNED FOR THE WATER
Surfers, swimmers, paddleboarders, water polo players, and lifeguards swear by the Extreme Stick. 4+ hour water resistance means you're protected through entire sessions without mid-activity reapplication. Stick format = no slipping or washing off like cream formulas. This beauty keeps you safe during every session in the water. Our extreme zinc stick is the #1 surf sunscreen you can grab.
DESIGNED FOR THE ACTIVE
Designed for active legends and those at elevation. Mountain climbers, skiers, hikers, and runners operating at elevation face intensified UV exposure. SPF 50+ reflects maximum rays. Stick format = no wind-blown cream, no melting in heat, no wasted product.
DESIGNED FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Dermatologists recommend mineral zinc oxide for:
- Melasma (sun exposure darkens pigmentation)
- Eczema-prone skin (chemical filters irritate)
- Rosacea (sensitive to fragrances and irritants)
- Post-procedure skin (laser, chemical peels, microneedling)
- Photosensitive conditions
Let customers speak for us
This is the first time I have used your sunscreen and was a bit concerned it might not be suitable as I have extremely sensitive skin. However, I am pleased to say that I have had no reaction from it. It goes on easily and a little goes a long way. I consider it to be very good value for money and feel confident it is protecting my skin and as importantly is completely natural. Thank you so much.
I’ve got mild rosacea and reactive sensitive skin and I’m pleased to say that this sunscreen does not cause any irritation. I’ve only used it around 4-5 times so far but I normally know if it’s going to irritate within the first 15 minutes.
The cream is quite thick to rub in but It leaves my skin lovely and soft. I’ve been out in UK spring sunshine most of the day and no redness. I’ll see how it performs in the summer. I do wonder if repeated application throughout the day will make me look pale? But that’s better than sunburn
I have purchased for a trip we go on in a couple of weeks. Hopefully it will work well. Very happy that the first delivery, which the envelope arrived empty, was replaced and sent out straight away, with no quibbles. Great customer service, thank you
I've just starting using mine but it's really helped my skin as I burn even in the winter sun. I have the skin colour one and I love it.
The Tan colour is an absolute perfect match for my skin tone. I use it every day on my nose and cheeks where I get the most sun. It stays on through my entire morning swim and doesn't run into my eyes. Best zinc stick I've ever used.
My surgeon told me to keep my neck scar out of the sun for a year. This stick is perfect, it's opaque enough to block all UV and the tint makes the scar much less noticeable.
You won't get burnt with this high SPF zinc sunscreen. It rubs in clear and has really good ingredients. The best clear zinc sunscreen I've found.
I walk in the countryside and this 2-in-1 is perfect. It actually works to stop insects biting and provides sun protection with a nice tint. I recommend it to all walkers.
Took this on a city break to Rome. It survived the heat, extreme humidity, and hours of walking. It doubles as my makeup base and doesn't melt in my handbag. An absolute must-pack.
This natural sunscreen is brilliant for kids at the beach. No chemicals, high SPF mineral protection, and it stays on in the water. Perfect for kids.
Many sunscreens claim to be reef safe but still contain chemicals that harm marine life. This one is genuinely reef safe — free from oxybenzone, octinoxate, octocrylene, and all known coral-damaging chemicals. The non-nano zinc oxide is the only active ingredient and it's completely safe for marine ecosystems.
My teenager has acne-prone sensitive skin and this natural mineral sunscreen is perfect. It's great for acne and doesn't cause any breakouts. Brilliant.
Wore this at a three-day outdoor festival and it was perfect. Reapplied every two hours, it never felt heavy or sticky, and the pump bottle was easy to use in a crowd. The SPF 50 kept me burn-free despite full sun exposure all day. Will definitely be taking it to every festival.
I use these for my kids' swimming lessons. High water resistance keeps the protection on in the pool. High SPF and the kids love the colours.
