Zinka - Clear Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Face Stick SPF 50, Water Resistant for 80 Minutes - .49oz Stick

Zinka works well. This stick is easy to carry in a backpack and easy to apply. I think it is a little misleading to call it clear because still appears pretty white on your skin. You can rub it in pretty well and it will mostly blend into your skin, but if you are buying Zinka you shouldn't be expecting a clear product! This stuff is know for it's ability to protect you from the sun and stay on your skin while you are in the water. That said, this is much less white than the bright white Zinka. My teen son preferred this while he spent a week at lifeguard camp. It protected his nose and cheeks, but didn't make him feel like a little kid with bright zinka face.

Small but works well. It can be a bit greasy so I use it for my neck, chest, hands & something else for my face.

I live at the beach and go through a lot of sunblock. Lots of fads and gimmicks and I found this one on Amazon. It works great, doesn’t burn my eyes or leave my skin feeling clammy and all caked up. And zinc oxide is allegedly not as bad for the environment. A plus!

I purchased the .49 oz. Zinka solid sunscreen. I didn't correctly envision what half an ounce of sunscreen would look like, but now I know. It's smaller than I expected, but the up side is that it will fit nicely into a purse or pocket. When I opened it up, some moisture leaked out. Since it has a light coconut smell to it, I assumed it was coconut oil that had separated from the solid. I tried it first in my hand. It's white in solid form, but then went on clear with a little shininess. I was concerned it would remain oily, but it did absorb after a few minutes and made my skin feel soft. I used some on my face. I'm sensitive to perfumes, so I worried that having that coconut smell on my face would be overwhelming. It was fine. I bought this because it's mineral-based instead of chemical-based and, therefore, a clean, non-toxic option. Amazingly, it's clear, even though it's made of zink oxide. (Remember lifeguards with thick, white coats of zink oxide on their noses?) I like that it comes in stick form, so I don't have to apply it with my hands.

Love that it's clear. I have the colored ones and love them. Goes on very smooth.

My mistake. For the price, I read the size wrong and assumed it was a useful size. It is the size of 2 chapsticks.

My kids use this on their face. It stays white and protects at the beach. This is the only stuff that stays on. It’s pure zinc. Safer for skin. Water resistant. Thumbs up.

It really is clear, but it stays on!
