EcoZinc is proud to support Queensland Rail and the thousands of workers who help keep our state moving every day. Rail staff spend long hours outdoors maintaining tracks, managing stations, and ensuring safe transport across Queensland — and reliable sun protection is a critical part of their safety gear. Our zinc-only SPF50 sunscreen is made locally in Rocklea and built for the harsh Australian sun, offering clean, broad-spectrum protection with no chemical UV filters.

Every time we swim, surf, or rinse off after a day at the beach, the sunscreen we use has an impact far beyond our skin. Research shows that many common chemical UV filters — especially oxybenzone, octinoxate, and octocrylene — can harm coral reefs even at tiny concentrations. They disrupt coral DNA, damage larvae, and accelerate bleaching. At EcoZinc, we believe sun protection shouldn’t come at the ocean’s expense. That’s why our SPF50 uses only non-nano zinc oxide.
