Yes, white zinc sunscreen is completely safe and ideal for kids and teens aged 4–16 who spend long hours on the cricket field. It forms a physical shield on the skin that reflects UV rays, protecting from sunburn, tanning, and long-term sun damage. It’s dermatologically tested and perfect for daily outdoor sports use.

The white layer seen on cricketers’ faces is zinc oxide — a mineral sunscreen that stays on the skin’s surface and doesn’t melt away with sweat. It provides long-lasting UV protection even under extreme heat, which makes it perfect for young players practicing or playing matches under the sun.

Yes, and that’s what makes it effective! The visible white layer is zinc oxide staying on top of the skin to physically block UV rays. It shows parents and coaches that the sunscreen is still active. This white finish is common among professional cricketers and athletes who prefer full, visible protection.

Apply a thick, even layer on the nose, cheeks, ears, neck, and arms — all areas exposed to the sun. For a full cricket session or match, apply 15–20 minutes before stepping out and reapply every 2 hours or after intense sweating. Consistent coverage helps maintain protection throughout the game.

After play, use a gentle face wash and lukewarm water to remove the sunscreen. If the white layer remains, massage a few drops of coconut or jojoba oil on the skin, let it sit for a minute, and then rinse off. This removes the zinc layer easily without drying the skin.

Definitely! While it’s designed with cricket in mind, Elemnt White Zinc Sunscreen works just as well for football, swimming, cycling, running, or any outdoor activity. It’s sweat-resistant, water-resistant, and gentle enough for everyday outdoor fun.
