We have many friends and family with eczema that safely use our sunscreen and zinc with no issues. Of course, when it comes to any skin sensitivity, we recommend a small patch test prior to use all over the face and body.

Rinse your clothes in cold water, rub dishwashing liquid onto the stain followed by another cold water rinse. If you get to the stain quick enough it should lift without too much hassle. Our products are oil-based therefore laundry detergent doesn't work well however dishwashing liquid is designed to remove oil from our plates! We recommend you put your wetsuit or togs on first before applying zinc to the face.

Our sunscreen has a light caramel tint to offset any whiteness from the active ingredient zinc oxide in our product. Initially our thicker Sports Performance Sunscreen will have a slight white cast as you are putting it on. This is temporary and as you rub it in or after sitting for a short amount of time on the skin the sunscreen will blend into skin.

Our sunscreens are designed for everyday use for face and body, and will rub in clear and be invisible on the skin. Our zinc in the tin is designed for FACE use only and is a visible layer on the skin, meaning if you can see it you know you are being protected. You want a thick layer of zinc to be fully visible on the skin, this is great for the nose and lips when you're planning to spend a long day in the sun or a day amongst the harsh elements like the wind. Perfect for surfing, boating, fishing and cricket.

Our Everyday Sunscreen is best suited for those who want a lighter-feel sunscreen for general wear, for more intense outdoor activities such as any kind of land or water sports (getting sweaty or wet), then layer up with the Performance Sports Sunscreen. Our Zinc can be used for an extra layer or protection on the face and lips for those long sessions in the sun – think surf mission or cricket match!

Yes! The natural ingredients shea butter and zinc oxide we use in this product sometimes bond together and create small crystals on the top of your zinc. We can assure you it does not affect the SPF rating or quality of our zinc, it is only an aesthetic feature and once you dig in and start using the zinc the bumps disappear. The quality of the zinc is not altered in any way.

Due to the variability in batch testing and strict regulations for sunscreen in New Zealand, we have replaced our SPF 50 claim with SPF 40 while we reformulate to SPF 50 standards. We still remain extremely confident that this product will outperform our Everyday Sunscreen in terms of sun protection when out in the heat and water due to feedback from thousands of loyal Sol Goods sunscreen wearers! There is very little difference between SPF 40 which filters out 97.5% of the sun’s rays, and SPF 50 which filters 98% of rays.
