    Our hero product. Small, bright and quick to put on noses, cheeks and ears, it's an easy add-on at the till. White for surfers, colours for kids and skin tones for everyday wear.

Our one rule

Real shops.Real counters.Bricks, not clicks.

Sun Zapper is a brand people like to pick up, try and ask about, so we only supply businesses with a physical shop that customers can walk into.

We don't supply online-only retailers, marketplace sellers or drop-shippers. It keeps trade fair for the shops that give us shelf space.
