Why ZincTime Is Better Than Face Sticks for Sunscreen

Still using face sticks for your sunscreen? It’s time to rethink your setup. ZincTime offers a smarter, more convenient, and eco-friendly way to carry your favorite reef-safe zinc sunscreen—without the hassle of bulky packaging or plastic waste.

Unlike traditional face sticks that come in hard plastic tubes, ZincTime is a small, reusable silicone capsule that you fill with sunscreen from a metal tin—usually 2–3 ounces. Here’s why that’s a better choice:

1. More Sunscreen for Your Money

Face sticks may last for multiple uses, but they give you less sunscreen per dollar compared to traditional tins.

  • Face Sticks: Higher cost per ounce—you pay more and get less.

  • ZincTime + Metal Tin: Buy in bulk, refill as needed, and save money.

Instead of repurchasing expensive face sticks, simply refill ZincTime from your tin and get the same high-quality protection for less.

2. Face Sticks Are Bulky—ZincTime Is Ultra-Portable

Face sticks are awkwardly shaped and don’t easily fit in wetsuits, boardshorts, or small pockets.

  • ZincTime is sleek, soft, and clips on to anything—your bikini strap, wetsuit, key loop, or even your watch band.

  • No more bulky tubes—just grab your ZincTime and go.

For surfers, divers, hikers, and travelers, space-saving sun protection is a game-changer.

3. Less Plastic Waste, More Sustainability

Even if you reuse them, face sticks still rely on plastic packaging—which contributes to ocean and landfill pollution.

  • ZincTime is plastic-free and infinitely reusable.

  • Metal tins are recyclable and produce far less waste than plastic tubes.

If you care about the planet, ZincTime helps you take one simple step toward zero-waste sun protection.

4. Easier, More Even Application

Face sticks can be stiff, especially in cold weather, making it hard to get smooth, even coverage.

  • ZincTime lets you apply sunscreen your way

  • No waxy drag. No uneven clumps.

  • Refillable with your favorite reef-safe zinc sunscreen—so you never compromise on quality.

Make the Switch to ZincTime

Ditch the bulky, overpriced face sticks. ZincTime is the refillable, ultra-portable alternative that keeps your skin protected—without harming the ocean.
