When will this sunscreen expire?

Our baby sunscreen has a 3-year shelf life from purchase. Zinc oxide remains stable over time, but the organic oils can slowly change in scent or texture. If the product smells off or separates, replace it.

Why should I choose natural sunscreen over chemical sunscreens?

Natural sunscreens with non-nano zinc oxide reflect UVA and UVB rays at the skin’s surface. Chemical sunscreens absorb into skin, can degrade in sunlight, and often include filters linked to irritation and hormone disruption. Mineral sunscreens are safer for babies, children, and sensitive skin.

Is this sunscreen safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. It is formulated for newborns, toddlers, and anyone with sensitive skin. We use food-grade ingredients with no fragrances, dyes, or preservatives. Zinc oxide soothes irritation while providing broad-spectrum protection.

Is this sunscreen reef safe?

Yes. It contains only non-nano zinc oxide and organic plant oils. We never use oxybenzone, octinoxate, or other chemicals that harm coral reefs or marine life. You can use it confidently in oceans, lakes, and rivers.

Why would I buy baby sunscreen by the gallon?

Buying by the gallon lowers cost per ounce and cuts down on plastic waste. It is ideal for daycares, schools, outdoor camps, and families who go through sunscreen quickly. Refilling smaller bottles is simple and eco-friendly.

Is this sunscreen water-resistant?

Yes. It provides 60 minutes of water and sweat resistance. Reapply after swimming, towel drying, or two hours of playtime for full coverage.

Can this sunscreen be used on the whole family?

Yes. Though formulated for babies, it works for anyone who prefers a clean, gentle formula. Many parents use it for themselves because it performs well without synthetic chemicals or fragrances.

Does this sunscreen leave a white cast?

Yes, a light white layer is normal and helps confirm even coverage. The zinc oxide sits on top of the skin to reflect sunlight. For less visibility, apply in thin layers and rub until smooth.

How should I store the gallon sunscreen?

Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight. Keep the lid tightly sealed to prevent moisture and maintain consistency. Proper storage ensures it stays fresh and effective for years.

Why is Waxhead sunscreen more expensive than bulk chemical brands?

We use edible-grade organic ingredients, non-nano zinc oxide, and small-batch production to guarantee purity and safety. Mass-market sunscreens use cheap petrochemicals and synthetic filters. Waxhead costs more because it delivers safer, proven protection for families and the environment.

10/10

Solid sunscreen! A little goes a long way. We needed an extremely clean formula due to eczema issues. This one is perfect only being 6 ingredients and made without shea, coconut, fragrance, etc. It is a thick white paste that is hard to blend in and will definitely be noticeable, but it was worth the sun protection and avoiding a flare. We also used this for other members with vitiligo and needing ultra protection against the non-melanated areas. Everyone brought their own sunscreen, but still gravitated toward this throughout the week. Will definitely purchase again!

Moisturizing and effective

My skin was still very itchy and dried out/peeling from being burnt when I used this product. Not only did it prevent sunburn but it also gave me some itch relief and re-hydrated my skin a bit. Use sparingly... the instructions say to "apply liberally" but this stuff is thick out of the bottle. Shake it well or kneed it and then smear it till it's thin and you can "see" it but not feel it.
