AussieZinc stands out through our unique combination of 25% non-nano zinc oxide (higher than most mineral sunscreens), zero white cast formula, and specialized range targeting specific family needs. Our sunscreens are 100% natural, organic, vegan, and reef-safe, while being gentle enough for babies and individuals with extra sensitive skin. AussieZinc is formulated and tested in Australia, meeting the highest safety standards with both TGA registration and FDA approval.

Mineral sunscreens (like AussieZinc) and chemical sunscreens work in fundamentally different ways to protect your skin:

Mineral Sunscreens:

• Create a physical barrier on your skin that reflects and scatters UV rays
• Start working immediately upon application
• Use natural minerals like zinc oxide as active ingredients
• Are generally better for sensitive skin and the environment
• Rest on top of your skin rather than being absorbed

Chemical Sunscreens:

• Absorb into your skin and then absorb UV rays, converting them into heat
• Need 20-30 minutes to become effective after application
• Use chemical compounds as active ingredients
• Can irritate sensitive skin and may damage coral reefs
• Are absorbed into your bloodstream

AussieZinc uses mineral (physical) protection because it's safer for your skin, better for the environment, and provides immediate protection. Our 25% non-nano zinc oxide formula offers superior protection while being gentle enough for the most sensitive skin, including babies.

Yes! While traditional zinc sunscreens often leave a white cast, our advanced formulation technology ensures AussieZinc blends seamlessly into all skin tones. Our unique formula provides powerful UV protection with an invisible finish on the skin.

Our medium tint hydrate option blends to provide sheer coverage to give you a glowing and sun-kissed look. Our 'Glow Your Own Way' light tint Vitamin C is also sheer and blends to any skin tone.

Because AussieZinc is water-resistant, it's designed to repel water to provide long-lasting protection during swimming and sweating. This means it won't blend properly on wet skin - the water creates a barrier that prevents the sunscreen from adhering properly. For best results, always apply AussieZinc to clean, dry skin. If you need to reapply after swimming, pat your skin dry with a towel first, then apply. This ensures proper coverage and that invisible finish AussieZinc is known for!

Non-nano zinc oxide particles are larger than 100 nanometers, making them too large to penetrate your skin or be absorbed by coral reefs. This makes our sunscreen both safer for your skin and environmentally friendly. The 25% concentration in AussieZinc provides superior broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

Yes! AussieZinc has been rigorously tested and proven water-resistant for 40 minutes of continuous swimming or sweating, meeting strict Australian safety standards. While the formula continues to provide protection beyond this time, we recommend reapplying after extended water activities or towel drying to ensure optimal protection.

Yes! Here's why AussieZinc is different:

• Non-comedogenic formula that won't block your pores
• Free from pore-clogging ingredients commonly found in other sunscreens
• Contains natural, organic ingredients that are gentle on acne-prone skin
• Sits on top of your skin rather than being absorbed (thanks to the mineral formula)

Many customers report an improvement within a week of switching to AussieZinc.

Our ingredients don't just protect - they heal! Zinc oxide is known for its natural healing and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help calm and repair irritated or broken-out skin.

It's like getting skincare and sun protection in one!

We understand the frustration of trying to protect your skin from the sun while dealing with breakouts, and we're here to help you break that cycle.
