If you know anything about surfing and sun from the 80s, you may remember Zinka, the colored zinc oxide sunblock that lifeguards wore on their nose, and almost everyone on the beach wore on their faces. It’s back and in style again … and we are one of the rare shops on Oahu that stock it in all of its bright and sun protecting colors.

Even though a lot of advances have been made in the world of sunblock in the past 20 years, Zinc Oxide is best sunblock ingredient. Nowadays Zinc Oxide is micronized, so that it’s nearly invisible on the skin, and Zinka does have a new water-resistant sunblock that goes on clear.
