Do I need to warm the stick up before applying?

Body heat softens it on contact. In cooler weather, press the stick against skin for a few seconds before swiping. Apply in firm, overlapping strokes. The formula stays solid in your bag and softens when it meets skin.

Why wear bright colored zinc instead of invisible sunscreen?

Because the visible layer IS the protection. Zinc sits on the surface and physically blocks UV rays. You can see where you are covered and where you are not. No guessing, no missed spots. Clear sunscreens absorb in - zinc stays on top and works.

Will it stay on in the surf or do I need to keep reapplying?

Tested to 4 hours water resistance under Australian TGA standards. The wax-based formula grips skin and resists wash-off better than lotions or sprays. Reapply after towel drying. For all-day sessions, carry a spare.

Can I use this on my whole face or only on my nose?

Anywhere that burns first - nose, cheeks, ears, forehead, lips. The stick delivers thick, targeted coverage in seconds. For full-face use, the Light and Medium Skin Tone shades blend in while protecting. Bright colors for kids and sport.
