What makes the Extreme stick different from the Original?
25% more product (15g vs 12g), a thicker formula built for repeated water submersion, and extreme element barrier technology. Designed for surfers, water sports, and prolonged intense UV exposure.
Will it actually stay on during surfing and water sports?
Yes. The Extreme formula is specifically engineered for repeated submersion — surfing, bodyboarding, water polo. It’s rated for 4 hours water resistance and bonds to skin to resist washoff in waves.
Will the bold colors (Red, Blue, Purple, Orange) stain my skin?
No staining. The colors sit on top of your skin and wash off normally with soap and water. They’re designed to stay visible during use so you always know your protection is in place.
Is this greasy or heavy on my face?
No. The formula sets to a firm, matte barrier — it’s engineered for athletes who can’t afford product sliding off mid-session. It holds its shape in heat, sweat, and salt water without feeling slick.
Who actually needs the Extreme over the Original?
Anyone in prolonged, intense sun: surfers, sailors, construction workers, farmers, lifeguards, skiers. If you’re active in or around water for hours, the Extreme formula is built for you.

EXTREME ZINC FACE SUNSCREEN FOR SURFERS: Tan shade SPF 50+ zinc oxide creates a visible physical barrier on your face that you can see working; more durable than regular sunscreen because the dense mineral formula is designed to survive repeated wave impacts, salt water, and hours of direct UV exposure
BUILT FOR HOURS IN THE WATER, NOT MINUTES: 4+ hours water resistance because the dense wax and mineral formula physically grips skin instead of sitting in a film that washes away; where regular sunscreen fails after one set of waves, Extreme Zinc holds on through surf sessions, ocean swims, and all-day water sports
HIGH CONCENTRATION ZINC OXIDE PLUS UV FILTERS: Zinc oxide forms a visible physical barrier on skin while advanced photostable UV filters lock in extended water resistance; no oxybenzone; enriched with Aloe Vera for skin comfort after salt water exposure; this is a performance sunscreen not a cosmetic one
DENSE 15g STICK BUILT FOR EXTREME USE: 25% more product than standard zinc sticks; won’t melt or leak in hot cars, surf bags, or pockets; glides on smooth with no mess and no greasy hands; solid format means you apply exactly where you need it without wasting product on palms and fingers
AUSTRALIAN MADE FOR SURFERS AND OUTDOOR ATHLETES: Developed in Australia where UV is the most intense on earth; trusted by surfers, lifeguards, and outdoor athletes in over 40 countries since 1995; when your sunscreen survives Australian surf conditions it handles anything
