Ingredients used effectively for thousands of years

Waxhead uses modern holistic science and traditional ingredients to restore a healthy relationship with the sun. We use 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. Our zinc oxide formulas deliver the most effective protection across the entire UVA/UVB spectrum.

4 Total Ingredients

1. 25% Non-Nano Zinc Oxide
2. Certified Organic Coconut Oil
3. Certified Organic Beeswax
4. Certified Organic Vanilla Extract

 


Ingredient Details + Source of Origin

 

1. 25% NON-NANO ZINC OXIDE

Zinc oxide absorbs UV energy via bandgap absorption and reflects and scatters in the visible spectrum, preventing skin penetration and cell damage. The broadest spectrum UVA/UVB reflector that’s FDA-approved for sunscreen use, zinc oxide is also the only FDA-approved active ingredient for use on children under 6 months of age. Zinc oxide holds tight to its electrons when it absorbs UV energy, limiting the creation of free radicals that cause oxidative damage and increase the risk of skin cancer. We use non-nano, uncoated, French process Zinc Oxide as our sole active sunscreen ingredient, and all our sunscreens contain 25% - the most of any brand.

2. CERTIFIED ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL

Coconut oil has been a skin softener for 1000s of years. Our certified organic extra virgin coconut oil is extracted from the meat of the coconut and is fairly traded and less processed than refined coconut oil. Due to its high content of saturated fatty acids, coconut oil is an excellent skin moisturizer, providing necessary hydration to keep skin nourished and help repair damaged skin cells.

3. CERTIFIED ORGANIC BEESWAX

A top moisturizer, Beeswax protects and repairs rough, dry or chapped skin by locking in moisture. Beeswax has emollient properties, softening and rehydrating skin while aiding in cellular reconstruction. It is also non-comedogenic: it won’t clog pores. Plus it has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in treating acne. We use only non-GMO, certified organic beeswax in our skincare products.

4. CERTIFIED ORGANIC VANILLA EXTRACT

Vanilla beans are picked when their green tips turn yellow, then cured to produce their characteristic rich color, flavor, and aroma. Our certified organic vanilla extract is a good source of B vitamins and rich in antioxidants, and its antibacterial properties make it beneficial for treating acne. The smell of vanilla enhances brain activity and induces calmness directly.

Tin FAQs

Will this sunscreen make my skin white?

Yes, some. When used properly, zinc oxide gives skin a visible whitish hue. We offer tinted versions to provide a more skin-colored hue.

 

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 many applications does this product contain?

If face only, one 2-ounce sunscreen tin will deliver roughly 50-75 applications.

 

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, almost entirely US-based companies. We don’t purchase ingredients from countries with questionable labor or production practices. Learn more.


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.

 

Step 1: Let your fingertips warmup 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 on your 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, spread and thin out into an almost invisible layer across your skin.

Step 4: Rub into the skin

After you’ve spread out the sunscreen, you can further rub in the cream to a thinner coverage and almost eliminating the color on your skin. Our sunscreen will not fully absorb into skin like chemical sunscreens, even though after rubbing it can appear transparent.
