Zinka Colored Sunblock Zinc Nosecoat - White by Zinka

Nice product but bit smaller in size

I use it sailing. Yes, the tube is small, but you only need a smear on the nose and lips, so will last for years.

I can't believe they still make Zinka, I used it back in the late 80s - it's a fantastic product! The protective ingredient Zinc Oxide acts as a sunblock and not a sunscreen. Meaning it reflects UVA/UVB rays away from the skin. It works in all weather conditions. Though the tube is small "very little" goes a long way. The consistency is a little thicker than sunscreen and stays in place without coming even in water, you have to physically remove it. I use it on areas of my face when outdoors and it still holds up just as well as it did years ago. They now come in different colors, but I went back to the original I used to use and purchased in the color white. No regrets. Highly recommend Zinka.

Does what it says on the tin

The tube is tiny - 17 gm, the size of my forefinger but slimmer. I am used to buying zinc oxide cream in small jars for a fraction of this price when I lived overseas. It may be fine - but the price is exorbitant for the size of tube.

I like this product because it works. I am outside in the sun a lot, working in very hot weather. This definitely provides the protection I need and I have had no sun burn at all. I also feel that it has a moisturizing affect. Now- it is greasy and leaves a white residue. Not to be used if you are trying to look pretty. It's a functional sun block that does it job. Ideal for my needs.
