Tuff Stuff really is, the toughest stuff. Designed for outdoor enthusiasts who face the harshest environmental conditions, our zinc covering cream is your reef-friendly skincare solution.

This formula uses only natural and nature-identical ingredients. It is broad spectrum and super water resistant to keep your skin protected and hydrated during any land or water-based activity. Compared to lighter everyday sunscreens, Tuff Stuff is a thicker formula and will not rub off with sweat or drip into your eyes while swimming.

Tuff Stuff offers the type of coverage you need for activities such as surfing, boating, hiking, working outside, or for those long days relaxing at the beach.

Description

Our covering cream is tinted so you don't have to worry about looking like a 1980s lifeguard. Like all zinc oxide based products, there is a slight white cast to the product on your skin. As it is a "lifestyle" product, not a beauty product, the goal of Tuff Stuff is to provide dependable coverage, not to perfectly match your skin. The tint does contribute to a more blended and less obvious look on the skin and as Green Room expands, it is our goal to make more tones so that everyone can wear it as subtly as possible. Regardless of skin colour though, rest assured that a solid white nose is a thing of the past!

Zinc oxide, a mineral UV blocker, is the most reef-friendly ingredient in comparison to other UV blockers such as Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, ButylParaben, and 4-methylbenzylidine camphor. The metal tin is our choice of sustainable packaging as it can either be re-used indefinitely or completely recycled without any loss in material.

Big shoutout to the girls at Surf Sister in Tofino for their help in developing the concept! Those girls are on the beach and in the water all day long!

Directions

Directions: Tuff Stuff is easiest to apply when warm and soft. You can warm it up by keeping the tin in your pocket or by rubbing the formula in circular motions with your finger in the tin or on the back of your hand. Apply to face and lips with clean, dry fingers. Blend in and layer for more coverage. Keep product out of direct heat and sunlight. Remove with a gentle cleanser or an oil-based product (For Your Face works!). Wipe off and rinse with water. Follow with For Your Face.
