Waxhead Mineral Tinted Sunscreen for Face
Healthy, even-looking skin, protected every day. This breathable mineral tint smooths your complexion while shielding it with SPF 31. Made with only nine food-grade ingredients and 25% non-nano zinc oxide, it’s clean protection you can trust from your morning commute to sunset walks.
Why choose this sunscreen
- Real mineral protection that stays on the surface. 25% non-nano zinc oxide reflects UVA, UVB, and blue light so your skin stays protected without chemical filters.
- Natural tint that looks like skin. Iron oxides soften zinc’s natural whiteness and create a sheer tone-correcting finish. No chalky cast, just healthy skin.
- Only nine food-grade ingredients. A minimalist formula designed for sensitive, acne-prone, or pregnancy skin — because fewer ingredients mean fewer irritants.
- Skincare, sunscreen, and tint in one step. Lightweight and non-comedogenic, it replaces primer, SPF, and base makeup for a faster morning routine.
- Clean for you and the ocean. Reef-safe, cruelty-free, vegan, and biodegradable. Made in small batches in the USA.
- No hidden chemicals. Free from parabens, synthetic fragrance, silicones, and petrochemicals.
- Built for real-life outdoors. Wear it to the office, on school pickup, at the beach, or on the trail. One sunscreen that fits your everyday exposure.
Skin Health + Science
Most sunscreens absorb into the skin. Waxhead works differently. Our mineral protection sits on top of the skin and reflects UV rays away. No chemical absorption required.
With 25% non-nano, uncoated zinc oxide, you get true broad-spectrum UVA and UVB coverage, while iron oxides add visible-light defense and natural tint correction. The result is protection that respects your skin barrier instead of overwhelming it.
By keeping the formula minimal and food-grade, we reduce the chance of irritation and support a calmer, healthier complexion over time.
What you’ll notice
Day 1 – Your skin looks smooth, even, and natural. The tint blends quickly with no ghostly residue, leaving a soft glow that looks like your skin, just healthier.
Day 7 – Your routine feels simpler. The lightweight coverage replaces foundation, primer, and SPF. Skin feels balanced, calm, and protected throughout the day.
Day 30 – Your complexion looks healthier and more even. Friends start asking what you’re using. You realize your “sunscreen” quietly became your favorite skincare product.
How to use
- Shake and knead the tube before use — natural separation means we avoid synthetic emulsifiers.
- Use one to two finger lengths for the face and neck. Add a third if you’ll be outdoors in full sun.
- Dot across your face, blend with fingertips or a sponge, and allow 2–3 minutes to set.
- Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors or after swimming, sweating, or toweling.
- The tint may mark light fabrics, so apply before dressing.

Frequently asked questions
Will it make my skin look white?
No. The iron oxide tint offsets zinc’s natural whiteness, creating a sheer finish that blends into your natural skin tone.
How do I pick a shade?
BurlyWood works best for fair-to-light skin tones. DarkGoldenRod suits light-medium to medium tones. When in doubt, apply a thin layer first — the tint is sheer and forgiving.
Is it good for sensitive or breakout-prone skin?
Yes. The minimalist formula is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and made with gentle food-grade ingredients.
Does the tint stain clothing?
It can mark very light fabrics if applied after dressing. Allow the sunscreen to set fully before putting clothes on.
Is it reef-safe?
Yes. Waxhead uses only non-nano zinc oxide and avoids oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other reef-damaging chemicals.
How often should I reapply?
Every two hours outdoors, or after swimming, sweating, or toweling. If you’re indoors most of the day, reapply when heading outside again.
Can I wear it under makeup?
Yes. Let it set for a few minutes first, then apply concealer or powder if desired. Many people find they don’t need a foundation at all.
