Product details

Sun Zapper Extreme Zinc Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ Tan is a high‑coverage zinc oxide stick designed to stay on during long surf sessions and water sports.

Made in Australia for life in and around the ocean, this dense 15g mineral sunscreen stick combines visible zinc oxide coverage with photostable UV filters and a water‑resistant wax base. The tan shade offers a natural-looking physical barrier that you can see working, while the solid stick format gives targeted application without greasy hands or wasted product. It’s formulated to resist repeated wave impacts, salt spray, and extended UV exposure — built more for performance than cosmetic subtlety.

How does the Extreme Zinc stick stay on during surfing and long swims?

The formula uses a heavy wax matrix that grips skin rather than forming a thin film that rinses away. Zinc oxide particles provide a visible, physical layer and photostable UV filters add broad-spectrum protection. Together they increase water resistance and longevity when you’re repeatedly entering and exiting the surf.

  • Dense wax and mineral base for mechanical adhesion
  • High concentration zinc oxide for visible coverage
  • Photostable UV filters to maintain protection in sunlight
  • 4+ hours water resistance under typical conditions

What application benefits does the 15g stick format offer?

The solid stick dispenses directly onto the face without touching the product with your fingers, so application is fast, precise, and less messy. The 15g size holds 25% more product than many zinc sticks, and the solid format is less likely to melt in hot cars or surf bags. You can apply thick, visible lines on noses, cheeks, and ears where you need the most protection.

  • Brush-free, no-greasy-hand application
  • Compact 15g size with extended use for multiple sessions
  • Tan shade for less stark contrast than white zinc while remaining visible
  • Stable in heat — minimal melting or leaking

Is this sunscreen safe for sensitive skin and free from harmful filters?

Sun Zapper Extreme Zinc emphasizes mineral protection with zinc oxide as a primary active ingredient and excludes oxybenzone. The formula includes Aloe Vera to soothe skin after saltwater exposure. While designed for high performance in surf conditions, users with highly reactive skin should patch test first, as the product is intentionally dense for durability.

  • Zinc oxide-based physical sunscreen
  • No oxybenzone included
  • Aloe Vera for post-exposure skin comfort
  • Recommended patch test for extremely reactive skin

How long will one stick last, and when should I reapply?

Longevity depends on frequency of use and coverage thickness. The 15g stick provides more product than standard sticks and is designed for multiple sessions; reapply after heavy rubbing, towel drying, or prolonged water exposure. For extended days on the water, carry a spare stick to refresh key areas like the nose, forehead, cheeks, and ears.

  • 15g supply—longer lasting than smaller sticks
  • Reapply after heavy water contact or towel drying
  • CARRY A BACKUP for all‑day outings or repeated sessions
  • Use thick, visible coverage on high‑exposure spots

Who is this for: Sun Zapper Extreme Zinc SPF 50+ Tan is aimed at surfers, ocean swimmers, lifeguards, and outdoor athletes who need a robust, easily applied physical sunscreen that endures salt water, repeated wave impact, and long hours in intense sun. It suits users who prefer a visible barrier over invisible cosmetic sunscreen, need a compact, no‑mess application method, and want an Australian‑made mineral formula optimized for surf conditions. If you prioritize a performance‑focused zinc stick that stays put through rough water and heat, this is engineered for you.
