FAQs
Colour zinc stick questions
Which colour should I choose?
Any of them: every colour gives the same SPF 50+ protection. Kids usually pick their favourite, and for match day you can pick your team colours. Want them all? The Rainbow 4 Pack has Pink, Blue, Yellow and Green.
How is it different from the Extreme Zinc Stick?
The Colour Zinc Stick comes in 4 bright colours in a 12g stick. Extreme comes in 11 shades, including skin tones, in a 15g stick, and adds octocrylene to its UV filters. Both are SPF 50+ and 4 hours water resistant.
Is it waterproof?
No sunscreen is waterproof. It's 4 hours water resistant. Reapply straight after swimming, towelling or sweating, and at least every 2 hours.
Is it mineral only?
No. It combines zinc oxide with two other UV filters: octinoxate and diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate. If you want mineral only, choose Pure Zinc SPF 50, which uses 25% non-nano zinc oxide.
Is it reef safe?
No. It contains octinoxate, one of the two UV filters most often linked with coral reef concerns, so we don't call it reef safe. Our Pure Zinc range, which uses only non-nano zinc oxide, is our reef safe choice.
Can kids use it?
Yes, from 6 months old. Keep babies under 6 months out of direct sun. Kids like choosing their own colour, and every stick counts towards the mix & match saving.
Will the colours stain my clothes?
Zinc and colour pigments can mark fabric, and brighter colours show more. Let it set before you get changed, and pre-treat any marks before washing.
Is it paraben free?
Yes. It's paraben free and oxybenzone free. You'll find the full ingredient list on each stick.
How do I take it off?
Use an oil or balm cleanser to break it down, then wash with your usual cleanser.
Where is it made?
In Australia. Sun Zapper started on the Aussie coast in 1995 and still makes its zinc sticks there.
