Sunscreen
Reef-friendly sunscreen and zinc for surfers, built to stay on through long sessions. Protect your skin and the ocean with mineral formulas that actually last.
Protection that stays put
Surfers need sunscreen that survives hours of saltwater and sweat. Water-resistant mineral formulas with zinc oxide sit on top of the skin and hold up better than light lotions. A zinc stick on the face and a broad-spectrum lotion on the body is the classic surfer combo. Pair with a hat and sunglasses for full coverage.
Reef-friendly matters
Reef-friendly mineral sunscreens skip oxybenzone and octinoxate, chemicals linked to coral damage. What protects you should not harm the water you surf in. Reapply every couple hours and after toweling off.
Frequently asked questions
What sunscreen is best for surfing?
A water-resistant, broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide holds up best through long sessions in saltwater and sweat. Many surfers use a zinc stick on the face and a lotion on the body.
What does reef-friendly sunscreen mean?
Reef-friendly sunscreens leave out oxybenzone and octinoxate, chemicals linked to coral bleaching and reef damage, so what washes off your skin is gentler on the ocean.
How often should I reapply while surfing?
Reapply at least every two hours and after toweling off or long water time. Even water-resistant formulas wear down with sweat, salt, and friction.
