Do I need to warm the stick up before applying?
Body heat softens it on contact. In cooler weather, press the stick against skin for a few seconds before swiping. Apply in firm, overlapping strokes. The formula stays solid in your bag and softens when it meets skin.
Why wear bright colored zinc instead of invisible sunscreen?
Because the visible layer IS the protection. Zinc sits on the surface and physically blocks UV rays. You can see where you are covered and where you are not. No guessing, no missed spots. Clear sunscreens absorb in – zinc stays on top and works.
Will it stay on in the surf or do I need to keep reapplying?
Tested to 4 hours water resistance under Australian TGA standards. The wax-based formula grips skin and resists wash-off better than lotions or sprays. Reapply after towel drying. For all-day sessions, carry a spare.
Can I use this on my whole face or only on my nose?
Anywhere that burns first – nose, cheeks, ears, forehead, lips. The stick delivers thick, targeted coverage in seconds. For full-face use, the Light and Medium Skin Tone shades blend in while protecting. Bright colors for kids and sport.
Sun Zapper Original Zinc Sticks – Know What You’re Wearing
SPF Rating SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum. The highest SPF rating available under Australian standards. Blocks both UVA (aging, long-term damage) and UVB (burning) rays. Water Resistance 4 hours. Tested under Australian TGA standards for water resistance. Stays on through surf, sweat, and pool sessions. Reapply after towel drying or extended water exposure. Zinc Oxide The visible physical barrier. Zinc oxide sits on the skin’s surface and blocks UV on contact. When you can see it, you know it’s working. This is serious sun protection – not a light cosmetic tint. UV Filter System Zinc oxide combined with advanced UV-absorbing filters for reinforced broad spectrum coverage. The zinc provides a visible physical shield while additional filters strengthen UVA and UVB defense underneath. Available Colors 7 colors across the range: White, Pink, Blue, Green, Yellow, Light Skin Tone, and Medium Skin Tone. Bright colors for visibility and fun. Skin-tone shades for protection without the look. Designed For Face, nose, ears, cheeks, and lips – the high-exposure zones that burn first. Stick format delivers precise, thick coverage exactly where you need it. No overspray, no runoff, no missed spots. Stick Format Solid twist-up stick. Glides directly onto skin – no hands needed, no mess, no spreading. One swipe across the nose, two across each cheek. Targeted protection in seconds. Application Apply thick. Apply bold. Sun Zapper zinc sticks are not meant to disappear – the visible layer IS the protection. A single thin swipe is not enough. Build it up. The more you see, the better it works. Parabens None. All seven colors are formulated without parabens. Aloe Vera Aloe Barbadensis extract in every color. Soothes and hydrates the skin underneath the zinc barrier. Protection on top, care underneath. Vitamin E Tocopheryl Acetate in every formula. Antioxidant that helps protect skin cells from free radical damage caused by UV exposure. Net Weight 12g (0.42 oz) per stick. Built to fit in a boardshort pocket, golf bag, ski jacket, or backpack. Small enough to carry everywhere, so you always have protection on hand. Portability The stick format goes where lotions and sprays cannot – in a pocket, a race belt, a tackle box. Built for people who are outside, not people sitting at a desk. Brand Heritage Sun Zapper has been protecting skin since 1995. Thirty years of formulation in Australia, where UV radiation is the most intense on earth and sunscreen is not a lifestyle choice – it is a necessity. Made in Australia Developed and manufactured in Australia – a country with the highest UV index on earth. Australian TGA regulates sunscreens as therapeutic goods, not cosmetics, requiring stricter testing and manufacturing standards than most countries.

CLASSIC WHITE ZINC FOR MAXIMUM VISIBLE COVERAGE: White SPF 50+ mineral sunscreen creates the iconic zinc look on nose, cheeks, and lips so you never miss a spot; zinc oxide and titanium dioxide sit on the skin surface forming a physical UV shield you can actually see working in real time
STAYS ON 4 HOURS IN WATER BECAUSE IT BONDS TO SKIN: Dense mineral formula grips the skin surface creating a water-resistant shield through swimming, surfing, and sweating; where liquid sunscreens wash off in waves, this zinc stick stays put because the wax base locks minerals in place
NO OXYBENZONE, NO PARABENS, NO FRAGRANCE: Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide mineral actives with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E; this formula relies entirely on mineral UV filters that sit on the skin surface to physically block UV rays; gentle enough for the whole family including children aged six months and older
SOLID STICK MEANS ZERO MESS AND ZERO WASTE: Unlike lotions that spill in bags and sprays that miss your face, solid zinc glides on exactly where you aim it; dense 12g stick lasts longer per gram than liquid sunscreen because you apply only what you need with precision; won’t melt in your beach bag
AUSTRALIAN MADE SINCE 1995 IN THE HARSHEST UV ON EARTH: Formulated in Australia where the ozone layer is thinnest and UV index exceeds 14; sunscreen built for extreme conditions then trusted by families in over 40 countries; when it works in Australian sun it works everywhere

Blends in so well and effortlessly!
I’m going to copy most of this from the review on the pink one. I’ve been using this every day for more than a month now. I was hesitant on the color match (I’m a bit fair-skinned) and this looked a bit darker than the concealers I buy. But I loved it so much, I stopped using my other many, many higher end concealers. This is truly a full coverage concealer in one swipe. It’s even an amazing undereye concealer. Amazingly, it looks good even without even blending it in! I wouldn’t even need a mirror to apply this on-the-go. It’s swipe, tap around the edges of the swipe, done and perfect.No streaking, and surprisingly zero breakouts or reactions despite my pretty sensitive skin. Stays put all day, and this stick is giant – not like a chapstick, more like one of those jumbo chalks kids use to draw on the street. It’s still surprisingly compact enough to put in my purse, ane yet, I believe this will last forever. Which is also why I’m debating if I should even get a second one for the bathroom, so I don’t have to run to my purse every morning to apply it. I saw a newer version came out in that pack of 3, so I’m very tempted.I remember thinking I don’t know what I’d do if they discontinued this. I need this for the rest of my life.

Perfect for beach days
This blue zinc stick has been a total hit with my kids at the beach! They think it’s so fun to put on, almost like face paint, and I love that I can see exactly where it’s applied so I know their noses and cheeks are protected. The bright color makes it easy to reapply throughout the day, and it doesn’t smear off in the water or when they’re building sandcastles.It’s turned into part of our “beach day routine,” and instead of fighting sunscreen, they actually remind me to put the “blue stick” on! At the end of the day, it wipes off easily and hasn’t caused any irritation on their sensitive skin.Highly recommend for parents—this makes sun protection fun instead of a struggle!

Best kept secret!
THIS little guy – is amazing! I’ve really only been using it over the malasma spots I get, and it has been incredible at keeping those at bay – dare I say better than the prescription meds.It blends so well, it’s not greasy, it doesn’t pill, it just melts in. I feel like I could easily use this over my entire face with no concerns if I ditched my pricey tinted serum.I have very sensitive, oily prone skin. I work outside, always wear a hat. My malasma still would worsen within minutes on sunny days – but with this it’s really helped keep those spots at bay. So it must be pretty darn effective at blocking sun exposure. Surely better than my expensive serum. Just ordered a second one to keep in my bag on the go!

Great Coverage but Very Thick on the Skin
This sunscreen stick gives such a nice smooth finish that almost looks like glowy foundation, which I really loved. The tint blends well and makes my skin look even and healthy. It offers great sun protection and feels reliable for long days outside. The only drawback is how thick and sticky it feels once applied. It is not super uncomfortable, but you can definitely feel it sitting on your skin. I found myself wishing it were a bit lighter and easier to wear. Despite that, the look and coverage are impressive. Overall I really like it, but the texture keeps it from being perfect.

Great coverage — almost like wearing makeup
This zinc oxide sunscreen works incredibly well and gives a smooth, makeup‑like finish. It blends evenly and leaves the skin looking polished rather than chalky. Someone even told my husband and me that we looked like models while wearing it, so that’s a win in my book. Excellent mineral protection with a flattering look.

Unexpectedly Fantastic
I have melasma on my cheeks and unfortunately have to stay out of the sun. This is impossible and even though I religiously wear sunscreen and big hats and am always looking for shade my brown spots are still getting bigger. The other day I decided why not try the white zinc stuff lifeguards use. I was only going to wear it while at home gardening so I didn’t really care how I looked. I got the dark tint which was cool bc at least it might be a little less obvious on me than green. I have an olive complexion so this seemed like the best bet. Well never in my thoughts did I expect to LOVE this stuff. It just so happens that the dark tint blends perfectly with my skin tone; almost better than my foundation. On top of that it does a better job covering my dark spots than my dark spot concealing cream and looks completely natural. Some people have complained about it being hard to apply. I don’t find that. I do one of two things. I will rub the stick on my palm and the heat of my hand softens the stick and then I swipe or dab on. Or, my preferred method, I rub it on to my palm and then use my finger on my palm to keep smoothing it. Then I just dab where I want it with my warm fingers. I even find that if I rest it on my cheek first it warms up and is easier to apply. Bottom line is it helps for the contents to be warm. Just bought another stick to keep in my car.

Happy no burn at the beach
Great nose protection, kind look goof with color on you nose but well worth it
Amazon Customer –
Fine if not getting wet
It’s okay! I have found that it is something you have to reapply for sure if you’re going in and out of the water. I bought it for surfing and I have still been sunburned when using it, which is the reason why I bought this was to have longer lasting sun protection while surfing. I like the easy application and some days it feels like it works better and can last almost all day long if not getting wet!

Came open,not going to use .Waste of time

I bought this because using zinc cream as makeup is all the craze right now. I now just mix some of this with usual sunscreen for a bit of tint, and it just smoothes out my face and evens out my skin tone nicely. It doesn’t look cakey, and is the perfect shade for me. If you are very pale, this may be slightly to warm toned for you to use like I use it.

this works well, I use it as a full face foundation, covers and protects my face
