Tinted Sunscreen Paste Frequently Asked Questions

Will Waxhead Sunscreen Paste leave a white residue on my skin?

We've added certified organic cocoa powder to conceal the typically white appearance of zinc oxide sunscreens. This tinted sunscreen paste is formulated to blend into your skin, minimizing the white cast often associated with zinc oxide sunscreens. When used properly, zinc oxide sunscreen gives skin a visible hue. While there may be a slight tint due to the cocoa powder, it provides a natural look.

When will this sunscreen expire?

Technically 3 years from purchase, but the useful life of our sunscreens has no practical limit, since our active ingredient zinc oxide is a mineral and does not lose its sunscreen capabilities over time, EVER. However, the FDA requires all sunscreen products to list a 3-year shelf life (mainly because petrochemical active ingredients in common sunscreens degrade quickly, even on the shelf). Regardless, if you ever feel a Waxhead product has spoiled, just let us know, and we'll send you a free replacement.

How long does one tin of Waxhead Sunscreen Paste last?

A little goes a long way with Waxhead Sunscreen Paste. One 2oz tin covers approximately 50-75 face applications, depending on your usage. Our paste is highly concentrated, allowing you to enjoy long-lasting sun protection throughout the season.

Is non-nano zinc oxide safe for my skin?

Absolutely! Non-nano zinc oxide is among the safest and most effective sunscreen ingredients.
