How to use
Apply generously to dry skin before you go out. Warm a little between your fingertips first: it's a thick, zinc-rich cream and spreads more easily when warm. Keep rubbing until it blends in.
Reapply at least every 2 hours, and straight after swimming, towelling or sweating. Avoid the eye area.
For adults and children over 6 months. Keep babies under 6 months out of direct sun.

The facts
Non-Comedogenic SPF 50 at a glance
Sun Zapper Pure Zinc Non-Comedogenic SPF 50 is a mineral sunscreen for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It's made with 25% non-nano zinc oxide as its only UV filter, it's non-comedogenic and fragrance free, and it gives broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.
Many acne treatments, such as retinoids and acids, make skin more sensitive to the sun, which makes daily SPF even more important.

No more sun cream related spots!!
“This product has been great for my skin. I am in my early 40s and usually get spots from sun cream… I would say, take a few minutes to really warm up the cream in your hands before applying (rather than straight to face) as it blends in much more easily.”

FAQs
Non-comedogenic sunscreen questions
What does non-comedogenic mean?
It's made not to block pores, which can lead to spots. That matters if your skin breaks out easily.
Can I use it with retinol or acne treatments?
Yes. Retinoids, AHAs and BHAs can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so daily SPF is especially important. Apply it as the last step of your morning skincare. If you're on prescription treatment, follow your doctor's advice.
Will it leave a white cast?
Warm a little between your fingertips before applying and keep rubbing: mineral iron oxides help it blend in clear.
Can I wear it under make-up?
Yes. Let it set for a few minutes first. For a light tint, try Tinted Face SPF 30.
Is it fragrance free?
Yes, with no fragrance and no parabens.
How do I take it off?
Use an oil or balm cleanser to break down the zinc, then wash with your usual cleanser.
Is it reef safe?
Its only UV filter is non-nano zinc oxide, with no oxybenzone or octinoxate, so we call it reef safe.
Is it vegan?
Yes. Every product in our Pure Zinc range is vegan, and we don't test on animals.
Where is it made?
In Australia. Sun Zapper started on the Aussie coast in 1995 and still makes its sunscreen there.
