Irregular Tinted Zinc Sunscreen Paste for Face (2oz)
Same safe, mineral-powered protection. Slightly imperfect tins. Each one has cosmetic or texture issues like cracked tins, melted surfaces, or dryness—but every batch is still clean, reef-friendly, and fully effective for sun defense.
Why this version makes sense
- Still made with 25% non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum mineral UV defense.
- Natural cocoa powder tint minimizes the typical white look of zinc sunscreen.
- Only four edible-grade ingredients—safe for all skin types, including kids.
- Stays visible and grippy through sweat, swim, and serious sun.
- Reef-safe and biodegradable, with no synthetic chemicals or fragrances.
- Containers vary: may show cracks, dents, surface bubbles, or signs of heat exposure.
- More affordable. Same protection. Responsibly saves usable product from waste.
Strong protection without compromise
Irregular tins are exactly what they sound like: the same ultra-safe formula, packaged in a compromised container or affected by temperature during transport. No change to formula purity, safety, or UV performance. Think of it as the “scratch-and-dent” version of a trusted outdoor essential.
This is the tinted paste that outdoor parents, runners, surfers, and guides rely on. It blends in better than white zinc, stays water-resistant, and avoids stinging eyes or irritating reactive skin.
What to expect
- Texture varies – Could be firmer, bubbled, or slightly separated. Warm with fingers before use.

How to apply

FAQs
Is it less protective?
No. Only the appearance or texture is irregular. UV protection stays the same.
Does the tint blend?
Yes. Cocoa powder helps it blend into most tones. Apply sparingly for best results.
Safe for kids?
Yes. This is one of the cleanest tinted sunscreens available for kids over 6 months.
Will it stain?
Possibly, with light fabrics. Let it absorb before dressing. Soap or baking soda usually removes it.
