Waxhead Tinted Facial Sunscreen Our non-toxic, tinted facial sunscreen is the cleanest, healthiest sunscreen you'll find. Use it daily to stay protected from the sun and avoid the white cast from mineral sunscreens. Made with 25% non-nano zinc oxide and 8 other certified organic, edible-grade ingredients. True broad spectrum 31 SPF reflects 97% of UVB + UVA rays and Blue Light. Use it daily under makeup or as a light foundation on boat days.

When used properly, zinc oxide sunscreen gives skin a visible hue. When will this sunscreen expire? Technically 3 years from purchase, but the useful life of our sunscreens has no practical limit, since our active ingredient zinc oxide is a mineral and does not lose its sunscreen capabilities over time, EVER. However, the FDA requires all sunscreen products to list a 3-year shelf life (mainly because petrochemical active ingredients in common sunscreens degrade quickly, even on the shelf). Regardless, if you ever feel a Waxhead product has spoiled, just let us know, and we'll send you a free replacement. Is this sunscreen tested on animals? Is it Vegan? Waxhead uses absolutely NO animal testing. We test our sunscreens on willing humans using federally mandated FDA sunscreen testing protocol to calculate our products’ SPFs for labeling accurately. Our tinted facial sunscreens are also vegan. Why does Waxhead cost more than other sunscreens? Our prices represent a true cost to the world. We source our top-grade ingredients only from reputable, fair-trade, cruelty-free, and almost entirely US-based companies. We don’t purchase ingredients from countries with questionable labor or production practices. Learn more. How to apply Waxhead Sunscreen A little goes a long way and you can see exactly where you’re applying it. Step 1: Shake to mix Our sunscreens lack chemicals to keep ingredients homogenized, so a bit of liquid may squirt from tube varieties before the sunscreen appears. This is totally OK, and there’s nothing wrong with your sunscreen. Just close the lid and knead or shake the tube. Step 2: Dot sunscreen onto skin in sections Put sunscreen onto fingertips and apply it in small dots on sections of the face. Dot and spread with fingertips or makeup sponge. If too dewy on skin, use a facial powder. Tint can stain clothing.
