The pack includes three solid sticks in distinct colors so you can share, mark crew members, or rotate application without mess or melting. This copy explains how the formula works, why the sticks outperform typical lotions in water, practical application tips, and who benefits most from using them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Extreme Zinc stay on during long surf sessions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula uses a high concentration of zinc oxide plus complementary UV filters suspended in a dense wax and mineral matrix.
