White stuff on life guard’s nose

– Last Updated: May-11-07 1:03 AM EST –

What's that white stuff you sometimes see on people's nose, and maybe lips? Is that zinc oxide? I don't see that on kayakers. Used to see it on ocean beach life guards I think. Is that outdated or for some reason not useful for kayaking?

Its still good stuff. You can get it
in other colors…want to look rich, dab on blue zinc oxide.

I have used AloeGator for the past three hot Texas seasons and have NOT burned. My dealer started stocking it for their windsurfing customers but is willing to share it with the paddlers! Aside from not getting a sunburn, I didn’t realize how totally effective it was until I got home and had to do a little scrubbing in the shower to get it off. It really stays with you and protects!
