Sun + Mozzie Defence, Naturally
Mozzies might be tiny, but they’re far from harmless. They’re linked to more than 700,000 deaths worldwide each year through diseases like malaria, dengue, Zika, and yellow fever. That’s why we believe sun protection shouldn’t stop at UV defence.
We’re proud to introduce a new ally for outdoor lovers everywhere: Sun Zapper Pure Zinc Anti Mozzie Sunscreen — combining our trusted zinc mineral protection with the natural power of citronella oil.
Why We Made It
At Sun Zapper, life outdoors is in our DNA. From surf comps to camping trips, we know that where there’s sunshine and water, there are mozzies. So we thought — why not create a sunscreen that works double duty?
Our Pure Zinc Anti Mozzie Sunscreen gives you high-level mineral protection while adding a subtle layer of citronella — a natural aromatic long used to help deter mosquitoes. Perfect for families, travellers, adventurers, and anyone who’s had a BBQ or early surf ruined by buzzing pests.

FAQs
Does it replace insect repellent?
Not quite. Citronella offers a natural aromatic layer, but in high-pressure mozzie zones or areas with disease risk, pair with repellent strategies like nets or DEET-based products.
Will it leave a white cast?
Nope. It rubs in clear — even at 25% zinc oxide.
Is it safe for kids?
Yes — suitable for children over 6 months. (Always patch test and check with your healthcare professional for infants and sensitive skin.)
Is it reef safe?
Yes. Formulated without oxybenzone or octinoxate, and made with non-nano zinc oxide.
