Surfing is about freedom. It’s about connection. It’s about feeling alive amongst the salt, wind, and waves. But with hours spent in the water, the sun becomes an unforgiving companion. Protecting your skin is essential—not just for the day but for the years ahead.
The problem? Most sunscreens don’t live up to the challenge. They sting your eyes, wash off after one wave, or leave your face smeared in thick, white paste. Worse, many are packed with chemicals you’d rather not put on your skin—or into the ocean.
That’s why we created Ocean Lab Zinc, the ultimate zinc sunscreen for surfers. Designed for long sessions, active lifestyles, and the simple joy of being in the water. No nasty chemicals. No compromises.
Why Ocean Lab Zinc is the Surfer’s Sunscreen
Ocean Lab Zinc was designed to solve the frustrations every surfer knows all too well. It’s built for performance, comfort, and peace of mind.
No Nasty Chemicals
Many sunscreens are loaded with ingredients you can’t pronounce—chemicals that seep into your skin and wash into the water. Ocean Lab Zinc is different. Free from harmful toxins, it’s as kind to your skin as it is to the ocean.
Stays On All Day
Duck dives, wipeouts, endless paddling—this zinc doesn’t quit. It’s built to endure the toughest conditions so you can focus on your surf, not your sunscreen. Feedback from our testers is that it makes your skin look gorgeous long after a surf session (no need to remove it before that business meeting).
Tinted for a Natural Look
No more ghostly white streaks or unnatural smears. Ocean Lab Zinc blends seamlessly with your skin tone, giving you a natural look whether you’re in the lineup or grabbing a coffee after your session.
Infused with Kawakawa
New Zealand’s kawakawa plant is legendary for its healing and soothing properties. It helps protect and repair your skin from the sun, wind, and salt, so you feel great after every session.
Lightweight and Comfortable
It goes on smoothly, feels light on your skin, and washes off easily at the end of the day. No sticky residue. Just clean, effective protection.
Made for Surfers, Loved by the Ocean
Ocean Lab Zinc is for surfers who demand the best for their skin and their time in the water. It’s also made with marine-friendly ingredients, so it doesn’t harm the ocean we all love. While New Zealand’s rugged coastline might not have coral reefs, every ingredient still matters—because the health of the ocean affects us all.
This sunscreen is for people who care. About their skin. About the sea. About building something better for the surfing community.
