Irregular - Sunscreen Paste

Irregular Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Paste in a Tin (2oz)

These tins hold the same safe, high-performance formula you expect from Waxhead, but each one has a quirk. A dented lid. A bubbled surface. A bit dried around the edges. They work exactly as they should, just not quite perfect on the outside.

Why choose this version

• Same 25% non-nano zinc oxide formula you rely on for true mineral sun protection.
• Only 4 food-grade ingredients. Safe for babies, kids, and sensitive skin.
• Packs the same biodegradable, reef-safe blend. No petrochemicals. No hormone disruptors.
• Affordable option if you care more about performance than looks.
• Each tin varies. Some may show hardening, cracks, slight melting, or container flaws.
• Still water-resistant, face-safe, and made for long days in sun and salt.

Same performance, imperfect packaging

Every irregular tin contains the same sunscreen formula as our full-priced version. Each one simply has a cosmetic or textural flaw from small production issues or heat exposure during shipping. Perfect for daily outdoor use, family adventures, or anyone who doesn’t mind a few bumps and scars along with their sun protection.

They’re great for backpacks, glove compartments, fishing kits, beach bags, or as backup sunscreen you don’t feel precious about. The sunscreen inside is still incredibly stable and effective.

How it protects

This physical zinc sunscreen blocks UV instantly. No chemical absorption, no waiting. It forms a solid barrier on skin, thanks to beeswax and organic coconut oil, and it stays put through ocean spray, sweat, and high heat.

We use uncoated, non-nano zinc oxide, recommended by dermatologists and pediatricians for babies and hypoallergenic care.

Imperfections to expect

• Minor dents or cracked tins.
• Hardened or uneven surface texture.
• Visible cracking or bubbles from cooling or exposure.
• Slight melting or settling into the lid during shipping.

None of these issues affect performance or safety.

How to use

1. Warm the top with your fingertips until soft.
2. Apply in visible strokes across nose, cheeks, and other exposed areas.
3. Spread evenly. Zinc should be visible to confirm coverage.
4. Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or heavy sweating.

FAQ

Is this less effective?

No. Only cosmetic flaws. The formula and performance are identical to full-priced tins.

How white is the finish?

Visible. Zinc is meant to show where you applied it. It helps prevent sunburn misses.

Still reef safe?

Yes. 100% biodegradable and free from reef-damaging ingredients.

Safe for kids and babies?

Yes. All ingredients are gentle and edible-grade. Widely used for infants and sensitive skin.

Is storage affected?

No. Even if the surface has hardened or cracked, a quick warm-up with fingers softens it.

What’s the scent?

A faint, natural vanilla. No added fragrance.

Can I return it?

All irregular tins are final sale and sold at a discount, but reach out if something seems off.
