When will this sunscreen expire?

Waxhead sunscreens carry a 3-year shelf life from the date of purchase. The zinc oxide never degrades, so UV protection stays stable, but natural oils and butters can change texture or scent over time. If it looks separated or smells off, it’s best to replace.

Why should I choose natural sunscreen over chemical sunscreens?

Natural sunscreens like ours use non-nano zinc oxide to sit on top of skin and physically block UVA + UVB rays. They’re gentle, reef-safe, and safe for kids and sensitive skin. Chemical sunscreens absorb into skin, can cause irritation, and may degrade in sunlight.

Is this sunscreen safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Our formula is fragrance-free, non-toxic, and made with edible-grade ingredients to minimize irritation. Zinc oxide is one of the most skin-friendly active ingredients available, making this sunscreen a strong choice for eczema-prone or easily irritated skin.

What SPF protection does it provide?

This sunscreen delivers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, with the SPF 35. The high zinc oxide concentration ensures reliable coverage during everyday sun exposure.

Can I wear it under makeup?

Yes. It works well as a protective base layer under makeup. If you prefer a more seamless cosmetic finish, our tinted sunscreen uses iron oxides to reduce white cast and double as a sheer foundation alternative.

No. This sunscreen is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t block pores or trigger breakouts. The ingredients are lightweight and balanced, so your skin can breathe while staying fully protected.

Yes. Our formula contains only non-nano zinc oxide and food-grade inactive ingredients. It’s completely free of oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other harmful chemical UV filters, making it safe for oceans, reefs, and freshwater ecosystems.

We craft Waxhead sunscreens in the U.S. using carefully sourced, edible-grade ingredients. Our ingredient philosophy is simple: keep formulations minimal, transparent, and environmentally responsible, without hidden chemicals or fillers.

What’s your return policy?

All Waxhead products are backed by our 100% No-Risk Guarantee. If you’re not fully satisfied—whether due to performance, spoilage, or personal preference—we’ll quickly arrange a replacement or full refund.

Zinc Oxide Sunscreen - Vitamin Enriched

Q: Is it water-resistant?

Yes. It remains effective for up to 80 minutes in water or during heavy sweating. After swimming, toweling off, or extended activity, reapply to maintain protection. This makes it ideal for outdoor play, workouts, or time at the beach.

Q: Will it leave a white cast?

Yes, a light white layer is normal with mineral sunscreens because zinc oxide reflects light. The visible coverage helps ensure you don’t miss spots. For a more blended look, we recommend warming the sunscreen between your hands before applying.

Incredibly Grateful

We are so incredibly grateful for your products. Our 4 year old son suffers from severe eczema and we have tried every recommended product by the National Eczema association as well as those from his dermatologist and allergist. He has horribly flared from all of them, and spent almost the entire summer inside as a result :( My friend heard about your product and we tried it on him and his skin is CLEAR and he said it doesn’t hurt or burn. Your product has literally changed his life. Thank you for what you do!

Great texture

Great protection. Feels great on skin.

Best sunscreen for water sports!

I recently took a trip to Mexico and was desperate for a clean, healthy, sunscreen that would work with my snorkel mask. Waxhead to the rescue! Shipped in time and even called me to ask questions about my order! The products were great providing me sun coverage without stinging my eyes or having a slippery mask problem. Thank you also for the great lip coverage products! Highly recommend not only supporting this family business but the great products! Waxhead fan here!
