I only ever use Sun Zapper. I use the stick as a concealer and the tinted moisturiser as a light foundation. I've never been burned and the light/medium cover gives me a lovely colour. I love that the... See more

I bought two extreme sticks and a light/medium skin tone stick. All excellent and well worth the buy! Before using the sticks, I would get burnt under the eyes every time I would go out into the water... See more

Formula changed, too greasy and pink undertone

I have bought this product many times before and it was always great. But now it seems like the formula has changed. The coverage more sheer and not as good as before. It also looks very very shiny and the colour is different, with more of a pink tone. :( I went to the post office few days ago and the ask me there why I am always so shiny haha. So be ready to look greasy :D

I contacted the company to ask if they changed the ingredients, because it doesn’t feel like the same product I used to like. Sadly, I did not get any reply. Overall, I am disappointed with the product and the customer service.

Product came in different volume

Brought this products for the first time and realised both same product came with different volume, contact the email provided and no reply in a week, send another email and still no reply, now is already more than 2 weeks. Official website stated they will reply within 24 hours, very disappointed.

One of the tube is 40g less than the other, if I just brought one I wouldn’t notice this, is this unintentional or scam, be careful.

Slow customer service but fixed issues.

Love their product but will stick to buying them on Amazon. They shipped my order with two items missing. There’s no phone number and no one is answering any mails.

Update : company replied to my email within 4 days, shipped the missing items plus extra. Everyone can make mistakes, it’s how you fix it that counts!

Extreme Zinc Sunblock is a great product

I purchased the Extreme Zinc Sunblock Stick in tan back in June & found it brilliant for the summer. I love being outside so it was great to top up on vital sunblock during the hot summer days. Tan was a good colour for me too, like a concealer with that all important spf 50.

Great product, worked well on my 5 year old

Bought the sunzapper stick for my 5 year old as no matter how many times we apply sunscreen he always burns over his nose and cheeks. I let him pick the colour and chose yellow, best thing was he kept asking for it to be reapplied as he was so excited by it. We usually have to fight to get him out the water on holiday to reapply but not this time huge bonus for us!! Would highly recommend.

Light Skin Tone SPF 50+ Original Zinc Sunblock Stick for Face

Product arrived promptly, great service!
I go the Original Zinc Sunblock in light skin tone - I have very sensitive skin that is reactive to UV light. All other sunscreens I've used so far react on my skin.
Sun Zapper Zinc Sunblock is the only one that's worked and my skin has not reacted. It is comfortable and easy to apply, the colour blends in nicely with my skin tone, which I was very surprised and happy about. I am very happy that the sunblock uses non-nano Zinc, I've been looking for ages for a product like this without chemical sunblock and non-nano ingredients. The few ingredients in the product also means my skin doesn't react. Thank you Sun Zapper!

ITS WONDERFUL!!!

This really is such a wonderful product! I bought the stick for my boyfriend and his surfing and it’s fab. So brilliant, compact and neat and love everything the company stands for.

Excellent service

Excellent service - delivered really quickly. Great sized stick and in the skin tone it means I can cover my moles out in the sun without it being obvious! Totally recommend

BUY IMMEDIATELY!

Products arrived super fast and are amazing!
I ordered the light/medium zinc stick and the tinted spf - both products are incredible but I have to rave about the zinc stick.
The zinc stick was the perfect shade and the coverage was unbelievable. I used mainly across my cheek bones and down my nose - for someone who has quite dark under eyes, this stick of 'witchcraft' has covered them far better than any concealer ever has. 5*s. With regards to the sun protection, I have never burnt!

Sun zapper stick

Sun zapper stick was a really great product for my son. It gave great protection under his eyes and on his nose. He usually doesn’t like sun lotion, so the application and colour was great.

Bonza mate 😃 Stick another Zapper in me Basket, mate.

Bonza mate 😃 why can’t all sites be like Sun Zapper UK.
Oh so simple and easy, I swear my dear old mum (87) could have log on, pick what she wanted, go to the basket and purchase. Fantastic.
This an elderly woman who still doesn’t use a cash point machine, seriously.
Ok i might be exaggerating a wee bit 🫢 but what I say about how wonderfully simple is true.
Please understand that when I say easy, I by no means mean that it is basic website. Because there is a big difference in the words “Easy and Basic”.
First and foremost, let’s get it right about this company, it’s a no nonsense, professional with skilled, intelligent people. This is my opinion of course, but I think and believe, that for any person who deals with this Sun Zapper UK will totally 100% understand and agree with my review.
Secondly the website, has been created by my master, weather is an employee of the company or contracted by the company,
“wow” that’s all I can say.
Top marks, great job, to all those who work for Sun Zapper and please make sure you never drop your standards. Ok.
Because it’s a slippery slope when complacency sets in.
Keep working hard and your items will sell themselves.
👍
Ciao for now 😎
Kevino.

Bright colours

I was in Cornwall this summer I saw a lot of surfers with some bright colours on there faces. They told me it's Sun Zapper. I bought it and I'm telling you it is really useful product with great protection and looks so fun 😊 absolutely love it

Ace customer service and the product…

Ace customer service and the product itself is bomb proof when surfing, I use the zapper stick and the clear zinc 50+ sun screen. I spend a lot of time in the sun and having learnt about the horrid effects of the sun over the past year or so, the sun cream is thick & super great at keeping you protected. It sits on top of the skin rather than absorbs in, which is also a lot healthier for you!!

Great stuff!

I burn really easily so I use this when I'm spending long days out on the water. Glad my mate recommended it to me for kayaking, stays on for ages, but does need reapplying if you're out for a long time in water. I've only used the white one before and you can definitely see where you've put it on, so pick a colour you definitely like. Overall happy with it and will be taking some on a big expedition trip later this year.
