Zinka Colored Zinc Oxide Sunblock – High Zinc Formula for Nose and Face, Water & Sweat Resistant, White

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.

Zinka Nose Coat Sunscreen is an excellent choice for anyone needing reliable sun protection for specific areas like the nose, cheeks, or ears. Its fun colors, high SPF protection, and water-resistant formula make it a standout product for both adults and children. While its thick consistency may take some getting used to, the long-lasting protection it offers is well worth it. Highly recommended for outdoor enthusiasts, beachgoers, and anyone looking for effective, targeted sun protection with a playful twist.

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.

I'm an East Asian female with moderate facial acne, and I bought this item because I wanted a decent sunscreen that would not aggravate my acne. I heard that zinc oxide as a physical sunscreen was better for acne-prone skin, so I specifically looked for a sunscreen with a high percentage of this ingredient. I only ordered this item from BC Surf & Sport, and it was about a $2.19 shipping fee. I received the item in about 3 days, so there wasn't a long wait. However, considering I only live a few states away from where this gets shipped, and considering the high shipping fee in comparison to the total price and size of this item, I was definitely expecting a quick shipping period. This product is 0.60 oz, so it's definitely small. The length of it fits in the palm of my hand, and I have small hands. Its length is about 5 and a half U.S. pennies, its height in its tallest section about 10 U.S. pennies, and its width about 1 U.S. penny. I have two photos showing this size comparison. I originally expected this product to be very hard to blend in, considering the whitish cast that most physical sunscreens with zinc oxide leave. I read on Zinka's website that this product contains 25% zinc, so I was surprised when the product blended in decently. I don't really notice a whitish cast. However, the product does look very oily and shiny on your skin, which is probably due to the first ingredient being what seems to be petroleum jelly. The back of the product only reads "petrolatum, zinc oxide, beeswax, paraffin, mineral oil, titanium dioxide, BHA, fragrance, iron oxides (CI 77489)," without mentioning the percentage of zinc oxide, so I am a bit suspicious of the product actually containing 25% zinc oxide. Usually, products with zinc oxide as an active, main ingredient will list the percentage of it. I believe they may have reduced the percentage of zinc oxide in the product, especially considering the texture, which is very smooth and oily. In fact, it feels exactly like petroleum jelly. I also have two photos showing this product on me. For both, the darker swatch is the product without it blended in. The second swatch (the oily area next to it) is the product quickly blended in. Recall that I am East Asian. My skin tone is a light bronze in the summer, with slight yellow undertones. I find that the product has cooler undertones, and seems to resemble the color "peach" in a Crayola crayon box. I have used the product out in the sun these past two weeks, and no one has commented that I have product on my face. However, I do notice that it is shiny and makes me look oily. (Also, I am worried that the easier blendability means less zinc oxide protection.) However, my nose has not burned from using this product. All I noticed from the last two weeks is a slight tan. Also, this product has not broken me out, although I have noticed slight clogged pores on the bridge of my nose, where I usually have clear skin. I am not 100-percent sure it was this product, but just be careful. Lastly, this product has a strong sweet scent that slightly resembles artificial coconuts, so if you have a very sensitive nose or dislike very sweet scents, you may want to reconsider.

This works amazingly well at keeping the pink I typically get after working in the yard several hours, even when I reapply my sunscreen. I use this lightly under my eyes and in the bridge of my nose. It definitely feels pasty, but I didn’t expect it to be something cosmetically good enough that I’d feel comfortable going to the store wearing it, but it isn’t especially obvious. I have pale, cool-to-neutral toned skin and this doesn’t read orange or yellow at all on me. This is 80% better than expected, and I had steeled myself that sun protection was more important than looking good doing yard work, but again, this isn’t really obvious. The tube is small, but I only use about a pea size for the area I’m covering.

This works! I grew up being a life guard in the 1970’s, wish I had this then.

While cool & nostalgic, this & all other colors in the nosecoat line contain petrolatum, beeswax, paraffin, mineral oil, & fragrance. A sensitive skin person's nightmare. When I used it I didn't notice a great difference between this and a second coat of high spf sunblock. I would really test it against other products.

It's zinc. Without the deadly chemical additives. It works great for noses, cheekbones, for headbones and pretty much the whole face. If you put it on light you won't be able to see it. The thicker you put it on, the more block-out effect you will notice. It has a great coconut scent. So if you're thinking about taking a chance on this, I say go for it. Then smear a little on. You'll be saving your face in the process.

Nice product but bit smaller in size

Es cara, pero no hay muchas alternativas para comprar este tipo de cremas. Esta guapísimo cuando queda puesta en la cafa

Small tube of orange funky sunblock. My son loved the thought of this but had forgotten where hehad packed it so unfirtuately we cannot comment on how it performed but we can say it was a brilliant shade to use to stand out.

Kids love putting it in the summer. Protects the skin.

acquistato perchè avevo già provato il prodotto in barattolo. protegge bene ma in acqua si scioglie un pò. una protezione spiritosa allo zinco ed efficace
