Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Paste in a Tin (2oz)

Compact, clean, and concentrated, this mineral sunscreen tin delivers the same trusted Waxhead protection in a portable format. It's made for faces, kids, and sensitive skin. It's built to last through surf, sweat, and sun.

Why choose this sunscreen

  • 25% non-nano zinc oxide for full UVA and UVB mineral protection.
  • Only 4 food-grade ingredients, safe for babies, kids, and sensitive skin.
  • Biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen with zero oxybenzone or petrochemicals.
  • Applies smoothly with fingertips for precise coverage.
  • 2oz travel tin ideal for beach bags, backpacks, or daily skincare routines.
  • Non-comedogenic, unscented, and dermatologist-recommended for reactive skin.

Protection that travels with you

Our 2oz zinc sunscreen tin is designed for people who live outside but don’t want bulk. It’s the same ultra-safe, reef-safe formula found in our 3.7oz stick, packaged for portability and fingertip application. Perfect for faces, necks, and smaller touch-ups throughout the day.

Families love its compact size and easy sharing between adults and kids. Outdoor pros trust its grip through sweat, saltwater, and sun. It’s a mineral sunscreen for face and body that outlasts heat, humidity, and ocean spray, without breaking down or stinging eyes.

What you’ll notice

Day 1 – Smooth fingertip application. You can see exactly where it’s applied. No guessing, no missed spots.

Day 7 – Your skin feels protected and calm, even after long days in the sun. No burns, no irritation.

Day 30 – Still going strong. The tin lasts far longer than expected, and you trust it completely for yourself and your kids.

Real mineral protection

This zinc oxide sunscreen tin blocks UV rays on contact, using physical protection instead of chemical absorption. The thick, water-resistant blend of organic coconut oil and beeswax keeps your defense visible and reliable, even after swimming or sweating. It’s a biodegradable sunscreen that protects both your skin and marine life.

It is made in the USA using non-nano, uncoated zinc oxide. It’s the most effective, safest SPF option for truly sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

How to use

  • Warm the sunscreen on your fingertips until soft.
  • Dot on face, nose, cheeks, and other exposed areas.
  • Spread evenly for visible coverage. The light white tint shows complete protection.
  • Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or toweling off.

Ingredients

  • Non-nano Zinc Oxide (25%) — Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB ingredient that stays stable under sunlight.
  • Organic Coconut Oil — Moisturizes and soothes without clogging pores.
  • Organic Beeswax — Creates a breathable, waterproof barrier for lasting protection.
  • Organic Vanilla Extract — Natural antioxidant and antibacterial properties with a mild scent.

Each ingredient is food-grade, biodegradable, and reef safe. No synthetics, preservatives, or petrochemicals.

Who it’s for

  • Parents seeking baby and kids sunscreen that’s safe and gentle.
  • Outdoor lovers needing a compact, sweatproof mineral sunscreen.
  • Surfers, anglers, runners, and hikers who prefer fingertip control over stick application.
  • Eco-conscious consumers who want reef-safe, biodegradable sun defense.
  • People with sensitive, acne-prone, or rosacea skin needing toxin-free SPF.

Who it’s not for

  • Anyone expecting a sheer or lotion-like sunscreen finish.
  • Those who dislike visible zinc coverage.
  • Allergic to coconut or beeswax.

Great Service and Product

Shannon Kenner,
Thank you for the great customer interaction on 2/28/2026.

I appreciated the time you took to call back quickly (very appreciated as it never happens), and explain things for my knowledge and comfort. Having very sensitive skin it worked great. I’ve tried the tinted and regular Sunscreen Paste and they’re perfect for me.

Thank you, Rose! Shannon will be so happy to hear this, going the extra mile is exactly the kind of service we strive for. So glad both the tinted and regular Paste are working perfectly for your sensitive skin. We're here whenever you need us!

Clean ingredients that actually works

Always reliable and it feels good to putting something with clean ingredients on the biggest organ we have (our skin!) Amazing customer service... will be going back to them for years.

Thank you, Sam! 'The biggest organ we have' — couldn't have said it better ourselves! 😄 Clean ingredients you can trust, every time. We're honored to be your go-to and look forward to many more years of keeping you protected!

Excellent Sun Defense!

I am sensitive to chemicals, so this sun protection cream is wonderful for me!

I love the ingredients, and I love the fact that it comes in a tin. Even in summer (i.e. it has been warm here), however, it is pretty hard… Difficult to apply. I scraped it out of the tin into a glass jar, added oil, and microwaved it, and stirred it so it would not be as hard, but it is still a little difficult to spread. The great ingredients will not be great if I don’t find it easy to apply the sunscreen and don’t use it as often as I should.

Great sunscreen for sensitive skin

I love the matt texture and coconutty smell! It feels light on my skin and washes off easily using a saponified soap. Best of all, I love that it only has 4 great ingredients that are good for the environment and for my skin. I also had my question answered very quickly by Shannon. Overall it was a great shopping experience!

Waxhead sunscreen paste

I really like this sunscreen. I love that it has minimal nontoxic ingredients. I just spoon out a dab and rub it between my fingers and apply. This company is awesome!

does not go on smoothly - very difficult to spread on tender facial skin. can I warm it up a bit before attempting to apply? and If so, how?

Excellent Sunscreen

The tint makes it easy to see that coverage is uniform. I am a very fair woman with Irish skin, and the tint looks fine on me. I play golf every day and Waxhead really protects my face and hands from the sun.

Thick, tacky, and stinky

Very tacky, uncomfortable to wear in heat. Very strong coconut smell.

Pleasant smell and stays put

I use the sport sunscreen on my face for running, and even after a couple hours of sweating it doesn't run into my eyes. It also has a faint vanilla smell rather than a chemical smell, which is nice around my nose and mouth.

Nice

Delivered on time and in good condition. I really like the little tins the sunblock comes in. Makes it very convenient to take with me. It is a bit thick and hard to rub in. I purchased a different sunblock for my face because this did cause minimal break outs for me. However I still use it for other parts of the body.

Portable protection

I like the 5 pack, I put one in each of the cars, and on the boat. When it is inside with AC is is pretty solids, be when it get warm it so super soft and spreadable.

Didn’t take much to do the job

I found it didn’t take much product in order to do the job, probably because it isn’t watered down with other ingredients. Tip: Heat the sunscreen up with your fingers before spreading it. Also, if you are looking to reduce the plastic in your life, you will love the metal tin. It screws together well and had no leakage problems.

Great product, love the packaging!

I decided to try this product because it has the fewest ingredients, none of which are harmful to the environment or people.
The tins are a great choice for keeping in my purse so I can apply to the backs of my hands when driving.
It’s very water resistant and does its job with keeping you from getting burned.

Handy, effective, small but mighty

My kids wear UV swim shirts and hats, so these work well for covering noses, hands, tops of feet. If you are looking to cover your kid in sunscreen from head to toe quickly - this is not the product for you. It's very thick, needs some warming up to spread. It stays on pretty much all day. We haven't done any swimming with the product yet, but I am guessing it'll stay on well. I was looking for a non-toxic option for sunscreen. You do have to work harder to put this on and spread it, but I am trying very hard not to use the kinds of sunscreens that can cause cancer just like the damn sun. I like that I could put a tin of this stuff in every spot and have some available. The tins are really small, so it turns out to be sort of expensive. It's worth it to me, and I will buy again. ***The color is tinted, and the shade is a beige-gray. It's not going to match your skin tone. It's especially not going to match if you have black or brown skin. This doesn't bother me because I don't care if it's bright white or neon-colored. I look like a very old, very salty lady at the beach, with a huge hat, huge sunglasses, and a flowery beach cover-up. It's fine. But if you're looking for something that disappears onto your skin, it sort of does, but it doesn't. Probably "disappears" better than the bright white zinc creams. I like it. But bc there is such a wide range of skin tones in the world, the company would probably need to offer at least a lighter and darker option. Also, the smell is mild, coconut-y, pleasant.
