Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Paste
Ultra-Durable. Ocean-Friendly. Skin-First Protection.
Meet your new must-have for swimming, surfing, or just staying outside all day. Our zinc oxide sunscreen paste doesn’t quit, even when you sweat hard or dive deep. Built for performance and made with food-grade ingredients, it's reef-safe, kid-safe, and nonsense-free.
Hardcore Protection in a Pocket-Size Tin
This isn’t your average white goop. Our mineral sunscreen paste is engineered to stay on through waves, runs, and rough workouts. No drips, no stings, no petrochemicals. Just pat, dot, spread, and go. The reusable tin travels light and lasts long—ordinary sunscreen can’t relate.
Powered by Non-Nano Zinc Oxide
Our single active ingredient—non-nano, uncoated zinc oxide—blocks over 97% of UVA/UVB rays, offering broad-spectrum protection without endocrine disruptors. It’s what makes this paste clean, effective, and surprisingly comfortable for daily use.
Long-Lasting. Skin-Loving. Planet-Minded.
A single 2oz tin lasts 50–75 face applications. Fewer reapplications. No plastic waste. No surprises. You get rock-solid sun defense and skin that stays happy under pressure.
Just Four Ingredients. Zero Junk.
We obsess over ingredients, so you don’t have to. Organic Coconut Oil. Organic Beeswax. Organic Vanilla. And that mighty French-process Zinc Oxide. No synthetics, no fragrances, no garbage. All chosen for skin compatibility and biodegradability.
Reef-Safe, For Real
There’s no greenwashing here. Our sunscreen is genuinely reef-safe—free from petrochemicals like oxybenzone, octinoxate, or benzene. We keep marine life in mind with every tin we make.
Zero Breakdowns, Ever
Chemical sunscreens degrade fast in heat and light. Ours doesn’t. Zinc oxide is photostable, and our formulation stays effective far beyond the standard shelf life. Think of it as insurance in a tin. If it ever goes bad (doubtful), we’ll replace it. No questions asked.
Who’s This For?

How to apply Waxhead Sunscreen Paste
Thick and tough, our sunscreen takes a bit of effort to apply, but a little goes a long way. You can see exactly where you’re applying it, and once on, it delivers the safest, most effective, most eco-friendly sun defense available anywhere.
Directions on How to Apply
Applying our Natural Sunscreen Paste is simple but effective—remember, a little goes a long way! Here's how to apply it flawlessly:
Step 1: Warm It Up
Start by rubbing your fingertips around the sunscreen in the tin. The warmth from your fingers will make the sunscreen easier to apply.
Step 2: Dot It
Use your fingertips to apply the paste in small dots on exposed skin sections.
Step 3: Spread It Out
Once dotted, spread the sunscreen evenly over one area at a time to create a thin, almost invisible layer.
Step 4: Rub It In
After spreading, rub it into your skin for a thinner coverage. Our formula won't fully absorb like chemical sunscreen, but it can appear nearly transparent once correctly blended.
