FAQs
Will this sunscreen make my skin white?
Yes, some. When used properly, zinc oxide gives skin a visible whitish hue. The ability to see the sunscreen on the skin is especially useful to parents as they need to see where skin is protected and where they need to apply.
When will this sunscreen expire?
Technically 3 years from purchase, but the useful life of our sunscreens has no practical limit, since our active ingredient zinc oxide is a mineral and does not lose its sunscreen capabilities over time, EVER. However, the FDA requires all sunscreen products to list a 3-year shelf life (mainly because petrochemical active ingredients in common sunscreens degrade quickly, even on the shelf). Regardless, if you ever feel a Waxhead product has spoiled, just let us know, and we'll send you a free replacement.
Is this sunscreen tested on animals? Is it Vegan?
Waxhead uses absolutely NO animal testing. We test our sunscreens on willing humans using federally mandated FDA sunscreen testing protocol in order to accurately calculate our products’ SPFs for labeling. This natural sunscreen is also vegan.
Why does Waxhead cost more than other sunscreens?
Our prices represent a true cost to the world. We source our top-grade ingredients only from reputable, fair-trade, cruelty-free companies that are almost entirely US-based. We don’t purchase ingredients from countries with questionable labor or production practices. Learn more.
How to Apply
A little goes a long way and you can see exactly where you’re applying it.
Step 1: Shake to mix
Our sunscreens lack chemicals to keep ingredients homogenized, so a bit of liquid may squirt from pump before the sunscreen appears. This is totally OK, and there’s nothing wrong with your sunscreen. Just shake the jug and try again.
Step 2: Dot sunscreen onto skin in sections
Put sunscreen on your fingertips and apply it in small dots on sections of the face. Dot and spread with fingertips or a makeup sponge. If too dewy on the skin, use a facial powder.
