Zinka Mens Colored Sunblock Zinc Nosecoat - Flesh

I love Zinka, and I've tried them all. Use a little and get great mineral protection--doesn't mess up my skin like other chemical-based sunscreens. My only caveat is you have to check your face to make sure you've rubbed it all in and don't have visible zinc patches, but the protection is great and long-lasting, plus I can keep it in my fannypack without worrying about size or spills. Recommend!

Smooth and good coverageNot a whole lot of productIt’s good and a bit expensiveI would probably purchase again

I bought this to put on a new surgery scar to keep from getting any sun damage so the scar will heal better. This Zinka covers well and I had no worries about sun exposure while using it.

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.

I bought Zinka Sunblock for my brother who has very sensitive skin. He is in an outdoor swimming pool at least 3 times a week and uses it on his face. He said it actually works and has had no problems from the sun, unlike other sunblock products. He says it's the best. We highly recommend Zinka Colored Nosecoat.

Works great as a waterproof sunblock for your face.

Too small!

This stuff stays put til rubbed or sweated on. Good product by in large.
