Catch waves,not rays.
Zinkit is mineral surf mud, handcrafted and reef-safe, built to hold through four-hour sessions, wipeouts, and everything the lineup throws at you. Available in a 7g travel jar and a 45g instructor tub.
Built by a pharmacist & surf enthusiast.
Tested in the lineup.
Only non-nano zinc oxide. No oxybenzone, no octinoxate, no synthetic filler. You get a visible mineral shield that reflects UV, resists salt water, and rinses off the reef, not into it.
Every batch is mixed by hand, because skin you surf with, and water you paddle through, deserve better than what a factory line can mix.
Eight ingredients.
Nothing to hide.
We reworked the formula for a smoother glide and a richer feel on the skin, but the deal hasn't changed. No proprietary blend, no hidden actives. Read the label, know what you're putting on your skin, know what's going into the water.
Three steps.
Full session.
Zinkit isn't lotion. Don't rub it in. The visible mask is the whole point. Layer it on, surf hard, wipe it off after.
Layer up
Fifteen minutes before paddling out, apply a thick, visible coat to nose, cheeks, and forehead. Don't blend it in. Zinkit works because you can see it.
Stay covered
It holds through duck dives and wipeouts. For sessions past two hours, top up for max protection against salt and sun.
Wipe, then wash
Built to stick, so it won't rinse off easy. Wipe the bulk with a cloth first, then follow with soap and warm water.
Same formula.
Two formats.
The 7g Original fits in your boardshorts key pocket, perfect for a weekend trip or testing the formula. The 45g Instructor Jar is built for those in the water every single day.
