Why Zinc Oxide — And Why Non-Nano?
Chemical sunscreens absorb into your skin and bloodstream. Ours stays on the surface, where it belongs — instantly blocking UVA and UVB rays without the toxins. We only use non-nano zinc oxide, which means it won't penetrate your skin or pollute coral reefs. It's the only sunscreen ingredient EWG and FDA classify as safe and effective.
No Hormone Disruptors. No Petrochemicals. No Plastic Packaging Waste.
Waxhead is for people who care what goes on their skin and into the world. All formulas are biodegradable and reef-safe. Packaging is minimal, recyclable, and deliberately low-waste. We make every decision like your health — and the planet’s — depends on it. Because it does.

Uncommonly Safe Ingredients
Waxhead uses only superior quality, minimally processed ingredients. Our sunscreens contain only non-nano, uncoated, French process Zinc Oxide, 100% certified organic edible-grade inactive ingredients, and absolutely NO petrochemicals. Although the FDA recognizes many active and inactive ingredients for use in sunscreen, very few meet Waxhead’s elite standards.
Uncommonly Effective Ingredients
Waxhead sunscreens provide true broad-spectrum coverage. Unlike common sunscreens containing petrochemicals or titanium dioxide, our zinc oxide formulas deliver the most effective protection across the entire UVA/UVB spectrum, defending the skin by absorbing and scattering UV radiation, protecting effectively against both sunburn and deep tissue damage.

Sampler Pack FAQs
Will this sunscreen make my skin white?
Yes, some. When used properly, our non-tinted zinc oxide gives skin a visible whitish hue. We offer tinted versions to provide a more skin-colored hue.
Is this sunscreen safe for kids?
Absolutely! Waxhead is one of the best sunscreens for kids. With our Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Pack, your little ones can enjoy worry-free fun under the sun.
Can I use this sunscreen during sports activities?
Definitely! The Waxhead Tins are one of EWG's Best Beach & Sport, Kid-Friendly Sunscreens. Our Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Pack will keep you protected, no matter how intense the game gets.
Is this sunscreen harmful to the oceans?
Not at all! Waxhead provides full protection, and you won't damage the oceans. Our reef-safe formula ensures you can enjoy the beauty of the sea without guilt.
Why non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen?
Non-nano zinc oxide provides safer and more effective sun protection compared to chemical sunscreens. It sits on top of your skin, acting as a physical barrier against harmful UV rays.
Is Waxhead Tinted Facial Sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely! Our sunscreen is formulated with gentle, certified organic ingredients that are suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. However, we always recommend performing a patch test before full application to ensure compatibility with your skin.
Is this sunscreen vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes, it is! We are proud to say that our sunscreen is vegan-friendly and has never been tested on animals. Waxhead uses absolutely NO animal testing. We test our sunscreens on willing humans using federally mandated FDA sunscreen testing protocol in order to accurately calculate our products’ SPFs for labeling. Some of our sunscreens contain beeswax. We believe in creating products that are both ethical and effective.
Can I wear Waxhead Tinted Facial Sunscreen under makeup?
Absolutely! Our lightweight formula blends effortlessly, making it the perfect base for your makeup routine.
Can Waxhead Tinted Facial Sunscreen be used by both men and women?
Absolutely! Our sunscreen is designed for all genders. Its lightweight formula and tinted finish make it suitable for anyone seeking a natural, healthy glow while staying protected from the sun.
Does Waxhead Tinted Sunscreen leave a residue on clothing?
Our tinted sunscreen is formulated with either iron oxide or cocoa powder for tinting, which can potentially stain light-colored clothing.
Why does Waxhead cost more than other sunscreens?
Our prices represent a true cost to the world. We source our top-grade ingredients only from reputable, fair-trade, cruelty-free companies that are almost entirely US-based. We don’t purchase ingredients from countries with questionable labor or production practices. Learn more.
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 to apply Waxhead Sunscreen
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.
How to Apply Sunscreen Lotions
Step 1: Knead or shake tube to mix. Our sunscreens lack chemicals to keep ingredients homogenized, so a bit of water may squirt from tube varieties before the thicker cream appears. This is totally OK, and there’s nothing wrong with your sunscreen. Just close the lid and knead the tube, which should reduce (but not totally prevent) any water separation.
Step 2: Dot sunscreen onto skin in sections. Put sunscreen onto fingertips and apply it in small dots on sections of the body.
Step 3: Spread out over one area at a time. Once a section is dotted, continue to spread and thin out into an almost invisible layer across your skin.
Step 4: Rub in to reduce whiteness. After you’ve spread out the sunscreen, you can further rub in the cream to a thinner coverage. Dot and spread with fingertips or makeup sponge. Our sunscreen will not fully absorb into the skin like chemical sunscreens. If too dewy on skin, use a facial powder. Tinted version can stain clothing.
How to apply Sunscreen Pastes
Step 1: Let your fingertips warm up the sunscreen. Rub your fingertips around the sunscreen in the tin. The warmth of your body will warm up the sunscreen and make it easier to apply.
Step 2: Dot sunscreen onto skin in sections. Put sunscreen onto fingertips and apply it in small dots on sections of the body.
Step 3: Spread out over one area at a time. Once a section is dotted, continue to spread and thin out into an almost invisible layer across your skin.
Step 4: Rub into skin. After you’ve spread out the sunscreen, you can further rub in the cream to a thinner coverage, almost eliminating the color on your skin. Our sunscreen will not fully absorb into the skin like chemical sunscreens, even though, after rubbing it, it can appear transparent.
