This product seems to be okay and dirt cheap too. I would say it is rather pink in colour and although not too dark for me, even looks okay, it doesn't match my skin tone. There needs to be a few more colour variations to this products and I think the name "Tanne" is misleading as the colour doesn't look tan-like at all. However, it is okay and I would use it again. Haven't had any other issues with it.

Hi all, remember that zinc cream isn't a makeup product .... it's zinc! Tan zinc is poor if you want to use as a foundation, but used as a sunblock it's fantastic. I still like to use white, yellow, blue zinc at times, but tan zinc is amazing as a subtle sunblock and still gives a sexy look. Not convinced that keysun's zinc is any better than the stock standard zincs on the shelf, but refuse to go into the sun unprotected.

Yuck. This was terrible. I used the tanne zinke- the tinted sunscreen. I have dark skin and the color made my skin go a weird purple brown color. I can't imagine what it would look like on fair skin. It was thick like tooth paste ans spread like tooth paste. I really had to rub it in to spread it. I gave it a lippie because I did feel the sun protection was high but cosmetically I don't know how any one could wear this day to day. I reserve this for if I wear loose see though-ish clothing that won't provide full protection from the sun but will hide the horrid color. The price was ok - $4.99 a bottle.

I bought this at a pharmacy in Australia for around $12.95 (large size).
It is easily spreadable unlike a lot of zinc sunscreens, and comes out white but does not leave a white cast even on a medium-dark person's skin. It comes in a tube, so there is nothing special about the packaging.
It says to store below 30 degrees, but at the time it was 45 degrees where I was, and on one day it started peeling off my arms and neck. It did protect me during the day, so I can't blame it too much for not withstanding extreme conditions for more than a few hours.
My main complaint with this sunscreen is - After my initial tube, I looked for it in every pharmacy, supermarket, any store that sells sunscreen - and they didn't have it anywhere!! All they had were one tiny tube of white zinc!
I don't live in Australia so unfortunately I won't be able to buy any more of it unless I go back.

This is a review for an australian brand called Key-Sun. They make a range of sunscreens and sunblocks. The Clear Zinke and Tanne Zinke both contain zinc oxide and octyl methylcinnamate to provide photostable uva/uvb spf 30+ protection. Both are fairly thick and take a little time to rub in, but are fairly non greasy, water resistant and excellent value for money at around $5au for a 50 gram tube. The clear product does indeed go on clear and the tan product makes a very good tinted product for medium to darkish skin tones. Although too dark for fair to medium skin tones, I have found good results by mixing a small amount of the clear with the tan together to give a tinted product that gives my light olive skin a nice glow without the need for foundation. For days when I know I am going to be out in strong sun all day this product is excellent.
