Zinc Cream

I have used this zinc cream which comes in a very small round jar.  Most of the local stuff i find are more of suncreen lotion and they don't really stay on your skin.  The one I am looking for is more of a thick paste type thing comes in a small jar.  I know its available online but can't seem to find it :(.  Anyone has any idea? or name of it.

TIA

i think xbox means the cream that international players use. The white paste stuff. I'll look in to it for you xbox.

Sunblock?

we should make a new pole thread...title-the worst thread ever. this would win no problem lol

im only a new member so i wouldnt know but this is the wierdest ive seen

sorry, just done a quick search couldn't find anything. Do you mean the stuff Geraint Jones is wearing here: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ci/content/image/225952.html

normal sun cream would just be absorbed by the skin and you wouldn't be able to see it. This i think, stays on all day. When i did a search for Zinc cream the only thing i could find was a cream for acne.

you don't really wanna be applying a zinc based cream to your skin on any regular basis

I use this stuff:

It doesn't show too much when you're wearing it, and it really works!

I didn't buy it from there, though.  I picked it up at a discount somewhere like Boots or Superdrug.

If you want the real zinc, you need to try a surf shop.

Banna boat sucks. I thought Zinc Cream is the best for sun protection.

Symonds puts sun screen on his lips. Whats the point in doing that? Also, I find that some cricket players put suncreen on their noses and it leaves some white stuff like Mike Hussey when he's batting in the sun. I was just wondering, why would he do that? and how come players like Ponting dont?

So can anyone tell me why cricket players leave white stuff on their face? Where as some players don't.

Maybe I am too old, but I amazed people don't know what zinc cream is.

It was the first thing put on when growing up in Aus.

Of course my face has dissolved and I have no nose...

--- that of course was a joke -----

Then how come guys like Ricky Ponting don't have white stuff on their face?
