Zinc Balm – Light

Zinc Balm was created with the intention of being much more than your average SPF moisturiser. We wanted to create a product that was 100% handmade, reef safe, human safe, smelt fantastic, is easy to apply and contains only non-toxic, ethically sourced ingredients that people can trust.

Whats different about ‘No Funny Business’ Zinc Balm?

Its appropriately coined as it contains absolutely zero nasty chemicals! Its been 3 years since we launched this product and we are proud to say it’s been all that we hoped for. Below are some of its best features:

• Easy to use application
• Offers significant sun protection when applied to the skin tone of most people
• Is very moisturising for the skin without being sticky or thick in any way

• Doesn’t sting your eyes or run off the skin with sweat or water
• Instantly waterproof thanks to beeswax
• Can be used to heal sunburn and rashes
• Can be used as makeup foundation or primer
• Won’t stain your clothes if used correctly

Giving back to the reef

Our founding mantra – ‘To be nurtured by nature is a reciprocal relationship’ is why we are involved with some amazing environmental conservation organisations and always on the lookout to support mavericks of change! Recently we have partnered with the Great Barrier Reef Legacy Charity in northern QLD, donating $2.00 for every Zinc Balm towards their cause. You can read more here.

How long does it last? 

Over 3 years we have sold just about every tin of No Funny Business personally and we ask people all the time, how long did it last. We always get a resounding “so much longer than i suspected, you just don’t need to use much!” Based on 3 years of feedback we can tell you…

If you use the product everyday on your face, exposed arms and neck it should last you:

1 person = 12-14 weeks

2 persons = 6-8 weeks

3 persons = 4 – 6 weeks

4 persons = 4 weeks

SPF rating

Our sun protection inventions have not been lab tested to determine their exact SPF rating, which is why we don’t make any claims. We prefer real people and real skin to tell us how effective they are, but just to be sure we use 30% non-nano zinc oxide and other wonderful ingredients that are well known for their ability to protect you from too much UV exposure. You can always read our testimonials for validation or consider our chosen ingredients and form your own opinion!
