Zincstic zinc sticks in a counter pack of 36 assorted colours. They protect against UVA and UVB rays in a solid stick format that goes on thick, stays where it is put, and is easy for children and outdoor workers to apply themselves.

Why choose Zincstic zinc sticks

The stick format solves the compliance problem that defeats sunscreen. A lotion has to be rubbed in evenly and reapplied, and on a nose, cheekbones, ears and lips - the places that actually burn - it gets thinned out to nothing. Zincstic zinc sticks go on as a visible, deliberate layer that stays put through sweat and does not migrate into eyes.

Being able to see the coverage is the point, not a novelty. With 36 assorted colours in the pack, a coach, teacher or supervisor can tell at a glance whether a child or a crew member has actually applied it - which is impossible with a clear lotion. Visible zinc is why cricketers, surf life savers and outdoor crews have used it for decades.

A counter pack of 36 is a retail and issue quantity rather than a personal purchase. It suits club canteens, surf clubs, school offices, site inductions and first aid rooms handing them out - and assorted colours means people pick one and keep it rather than sharing, which matters for hygiene on a shared stick.

Common uses

Surf clubs, cricket and outdoor sport, schools, and site inductions where sun protection is issued rather than assumed - the counter pack is bought to hand out. Sun and insects arrive on the same days, so Aerogard Odourless repellent is usually stocked alongside. See our burn treatments and sunscreens range and our sports and club first aid kits.

Zincstic zinc sticks FAQs

What SPF are Zincstic zinc sticks?

Check the current pack label for the SPF rating, as formulations and labelling are updated. What the product states is protection against UVA and UVB rays - that is broad spectrum coverage rather than UVB alone.

Why use a stick instead of a lotion?

Because sticks go on thick and stay put. On the nose, cheekbones, ears and lips a lotion gets rubbed thin and sweated off, and those are the areas that burn first. A stick gives a deliberate visible layer that survives sweat and does not run into eyes.

Why are they coloured?

So coverage is visible. A coach, teacher or supervisor can see at a glance whether it has been applied, which is impossible with a clear lotion. That is why visible zinc has been standard in cricket and surf life saving for decades.

Should a stick be the only sun protection?

No. It suits the high-exposure spots, but full protection means a broad spectrum sunscreen over exposed skin generally, plus a hat, shirt, sunglasses and shade. Reapply according to the label, and more often when swimming or sweating.

Can children use them?

They are easy for children to apply themselves, which is much of the appeal. Follow the pack directions regarding age, keep them away from eyes and lips if the label says so, and supervise application on young children.

Why a 36 pack?

It is a counter or issue quantity for clubs, schools, canteens and site inductions rather than a personal purchase. Assorted colours also mean people take and keep their own stick rather than sharing one, which is better hygiene.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use, including reapplication and any age restrictions. Sunscreen is one part of sun protection and should be used with protective clothing, a hat, sunglasses and shade - no product blocks all UV radiation. Avoid contact with the eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Seek medical advice for any new, changing or non-healing skin lesion.
