Excellent and natural
My son and I are both very sensitive to traditional, chemical-laden sunscreens. I’ve had chemical burns on my face and my son gets rashes wherever it’s applied. I couldn’t believe how long it took me to find this! It’s a fantastic product. My only issue is the price point. It’s too expensive to use as often as we need to, so I purchased the ingredients separately to make my own.

Very effective sunscreen says beach volleyball player!
This stuff really works! It feels grainy and when it’s hot, lots of it slathers on your face, but it works very very well. I have tried dozens of sunscreens and I wish I had found this years ago!

Great sun protection!
Waxhead tinted zinc oxide protects my face, ears, hands and any other tender areas from overexposure to sun. It doesn’t come off with perspiration. It doesn’t cause pore blockages. The tinted color blends well with my skin type. It is easier to apply if it’s warmed or if you rub your finger over it rapidly to create friction warmth. It lasts a long time on your skin and doesn’t need frequent reapplying.

Effective, people/reef safe.
I love the short ingredient list and reef safe quality. It’s effective- no burns or tan at all. Easy to spread, though a slight white caste (I don’t mind). I left off one star because it’s only 2 ounces, which won’t last long if you’re outside most days and so it would be expensive to buy enough for a Summer. As for scent, I think the beeswax stands out more than vanilla extract; not bad, just different.

Best sport sunblock, excellent value!
This is the second time I’ve purchased Waxhead Tinted Sport Sunscreen and I absolutely LOVE it! It stays on my skin in the ocean, even for longer surf sessions (through sweat, salty water, and sand), is reef safe, and has skin healthy ingredients. I love that it’s slightly tinted with a matte finish (versus some zinc oxide sunblocks that make your skin white/bluish and so shiny), and has a nice, subtle cocoa scent (from the cocoa powder). This sunscreen lasts a long time and is a great value for the price.I’ve also purchased their untinted sport stick and it’s great too, but I prefer this one.I reached out to their customer service when I had a question about expiration dates, and the reply was very quick!

Best Surfing Sunblock
Fantastic, natural, love the peace of mind knowing that I could accidentally ingest some of this product without harm.I’ve used this surfing multiple 3 hour sessions in the most extreme summer SoCal UV with perfect protection, without reapplication. And yes, it will make your face a bit white but it can be easily removed after. Just wish this product was available back in the day. The only sunblock I trust for kids, and the stick lasts forever. Can get a bit gooey in a hot car, just keep it in a plastic bag. Money well spent.

Works but has a funky smell
I love the texture & function of this but the smell was hard to get past. It’s supposed to be vanilla but had an almost sour smell to it. I have tried both the tinted and I tinted and they have the same smell. The spf is very effective & did not irritate my skin though.

Incredible product from an intelligent, quality-obsessed company
Where to start… I came across this product a few years ago to use on my two boys who are competitive swimmers and they’re scanned. The product is amazing as it stays put and last through several hours of swimming even in chlorinated water. This summer I had a question about the product and was looking here to see if someone had answered it before. The owner, Shannon Kenner, had actually put his name and phone number in an answer to another persons review so I decided to call him. I expected to get someone in customer service or a recording that Shannon actually answered the phone. The man is brilliant and so well spoken about the fairly technical topic of sunscreens both natural like his and the chemical based options, I was blown away. I’m an attorney and can tell pretty quick if someone is spinning information and unable to answer questions an informed consumer would ask. Not only could he answer questions but he provided information I’d never knew about despite being fairly well- informed about natural products and the dangers of chemicals used in the “safe” sunscreens. He also explained that “nano” zinc oxide is a different species from the non-nano ingredients warhead uses and doesn’t provide the same level of coverage. Who knew. I use their tinted skin nourishing sunscreen as foundation everyday as does my ninth grader. He has some trouble with acne and the tretinoin (retain-a) makes his skin extremely sun sensitve and a tad pink. The tinted product counteracts that and doesn’t irritate his skin or exacerbate breakouts. He wears it to school and switches to the stick formula before his two hour swim practice. His skin looks great and the pinkness has lessened likely because some of it was due to sun exposure during practice. It’s rare to find a product that goes beyond what it promises and even rarer to find one with a founder so passionate and brilliant on the science underlying their product. The stick lasts forever and if it melts you can refrigerate it to restore its form. We had one of our sticks melt in the car in 102 degree heat wave and I decided to put some in a metal tin and refrigerate the stick and the product I took from the stick. Both came back to prior texture and I love the small size to carry around. Anyway, definitely give this product a try. I’m sue if you have any issues or questions, Shannon himself will help you. 🙂
