This is how Australian kids have done sun safety for decades. Now it's your turn.
Other zinc products smear, run, or slide the moment your kid touches their face or hits the water. The SP formula is a naturally derived zinc oxide barrier cream engineered to stay put. Through hours of water, sweat, and sport.
White sunscreen disappears into the skin and leaves you wondering if it actually went on. Coloured zinc tells you exactly where you're covered, so you know every spot on the field is protected.
The number one reason kids don't wear sunscreen is that applying it is a battle. Coloured zinc solves that problem. It's face paint. It's team colours. It's something kids ask to put on instead of run from.
In Australia, SPF 50+ is a cap. To earn it, a sunscreen has to test above SPF
60, and nothing higher is allowed on the label.
We manufacture in Australia under the TGA, widely
considered the strictest sunscreen regulator in the world. Every formula is listed as a therapeutic
good, audited, and monitored on an ongoing basis - it's why we're known for our high safety
standards!

"80 minutes" is the longest water resistance test and claim the FDA allows on any US sunscreen. SP lasts for hours under the Australian Sun.
Multiple major US sunscreen brands were recalled after independent testing found chemical contamination. These brands were at every checkout counter in America. SP's formulas have never had a recall. Not one. In 40 years.
In Australia, sunscreen manufacturers must register their facility, register each product, and meet ongoing pharmaceutical-grade production standards. In the US, that is not required. It's a notification process that hasn't changed since the 90s.
"Frankly, this works a lot better in peak UV than the tinted zinc I was previously using from another brand. Obsessed! I wear it on my lips when I surf too!"
"Applying sunscreen, like getting dressed, is a battle with kids. These fun colours have made it fun and way more easier. I also love the nostalgic summer memories they evoke."
"Finally a zinc stick I absolutely love. I have purchased a dozen already. It isn't dry & cakey....just glides on."
