Marlo is an all day water resistant sunscreen barrier protecting against the harsh conditions faced by surfers. To maximize its effectiveness and your surf time we recommend rubbing the zinc into your skin in a circular motion as you would a normal lotion – then finishing with a second visible layer. Note the layer of Marlo does not need to be thick – just rubbed in and spread evenly to the areas you want to protect. Zinc is a physical barrier so if you can see it you will be covered.

Yes – Marlo will NOT wash into your eyes. Marlo also has NO chemical blockers or preservatives which can irritate eyes. Marlo can be applied underneath the eyes and on top of your eyelids – just be careful not to rub Marlo into the eyes.

Apply Marlo as recommended and you will get extended surf time out of it. We recommend to re-apply every 4 hours.

The best way to remove Marlo is to use face-cleansing wipes then wash your face as per normal. Other than that you can do what we do and have a dedicated Marlo washer ready to go in the shower.

Marlo non nano zinc oxide sunscreen is designed to stay on your skin for extended use in the water – for this reason it can be difficult to remove from your clothing. We recommend always applying the Marlo to your face AFTER you’ve put on your wetsuit or rashie to avoid being rubbed off onto your clothes. If you do get Marlo on your clothing – try using a stain removing stick prior to washing – it works for us. True surfers always choose function over fashion…

Yes! our eco-friendly sunscreen is designed for use in the ocean and will not damage coral reefs. Also, our custom packaging has been specifically designed for you to take our water resistant sunscreen out in the water with you. They fit perfectly in your pocket and are water tight – great for those epic days when the waves are on and you don’t want to come back in to re-apply!

Marlo zinc will melt if it becomes very hot. Marlo is best stored under 25 degrees celsius and will melt at temperatures over 75 degrees celsius. We understand that many surfers will leave Marlo in the car where it could potentially melt. If your Marlo does get too hot and melts – put it in a cool place until it resets. It should be fine to use once reset but we recommend that you do not allow this to happen repeatedly.

Marlo contains NO nanoparticles. Our zinc is the visible zinc and this is why we use the Iron Oxides to color it from bright white to skin tone. We use regular, non nano zinc oxide sunscreen because we believe it’s the safest UV blocker available.

Currently Marlo is available in one skin tone. The colour is brown – the more you apply the darker it is – the less the lighter.

Marlo contains 30% zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is nonirritating, nonallergenic and non-comedogenic. We add: coco caprylate/ caprate, organic beeswax, natural lanolin, Australia clay and iron oxides for natural colour. 

WE RECOMMEND TO ALWAYS DO A TEST PATCH ON YOUR SKIN PRIOR TO YOUR FIRST APPLICATION – IF YOU HAVE ANY REACTION DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY

Marlo is proudly 100% Australian Owned and Operated.  Our aim as an Australian Producer is to support other Australian Producers by purchasing Australian nuts and fruits where possible.  As such, many of the ingredients we source originate from Australia. Sometimes however, we may need to source our ingredients from overseas in instances where there’s no other option.  In these instances, it may be due to weather conditions and availability.

With what appears to be the on-going consequences of decades of highly processed foods, many people now find themselves intolerant of dairy, wheat and gluten products - once the mainstay of most of our basic food groups. Finding basic food is difficult enough, but what about a delicious healthy snack in between? Finding those products can be a problem. It's into this niche we've placed ourselves.

Gluten is the protein portion of wheat, rye, barley, tritacale and oats, which in some people damages the small bowel lining, making it difficult for them to absorb nutrients. This is Coeliac Disease. There is no cure, except to avoid gluten.

Our ingredients are all natural, we source much of our premium ingredients locally such as almonds, macadamias, hazelnuts, sesame seeds, puffed rice, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), cashews, peanuts, sunflower seeds and pistachios. Australian Beekeepers natural honey, organic rice syrup, tahini (sesame seed paste).  We do not use ingredients that are considered GMO (genetically modified). Whilst we try to use only Australian produce and most nuts or seeds are grown in Australia.  Sometimes however, we may need to source some ingredients from overseas in instances where there’s no other option.  In these instances, it may be due to weather conditions and availability.

The Glycaemic Index is based on a food's overall effect on blood sugar levels. Foods with high G.I. are absorbed quickly so the amount of glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream increases rapidly. You get a big buzz but it falls off quickly leaving you feeling hungry again sooner. Foods with a lower G.I. are absorbed more slowly and release glucose gradually, indicating they are the healthier choice. Low G.I. foods may assist weight loss as you don't feel so hungry as the foods keep you satisfied longer - helping you cut down without the 'starving' feeling.

Research shows that a handful of nuts and seeds each day helps you to feel more satisfied (without feeling hungry) while you are getting a good dose of healthy fats, protein, vitamin E and antioxidants.

Nuts in general have been found to reduce the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes, plus can help manage blood cholesterol and weight. They are a nutrient rich plant food. So, to reap the nutritious benefits and obtain the rewards, just remember to eat a handful of nuts every day.

We do not use Glucose syrup or artificial sweeteners in our bars. These tend to make other bars very hard and sticky. Our unique hand made technique of bringing all the natural ingredients together in a delicate way, provides the moist, delicious full flavoured taste sensations you will love.

Our wrapper is something we have been thinking about for sometime since creating our bar. While we are continually striving for a new wrapper that is both environmentally sound and protective of our food, there isn't the technology that we feel is up to our need just yet. Due to the nature of our bars, we are not in the position to switch over to compostable packaging as it cant protect out bars against oxygen and UV like plastic can. However we've always got our ears out and as soon as the opportunity comes up to do so we'll make the switch. Our shelf ready box is 100% recyclable and has visible markings to ensure the consumer is aware to dispose of the packaging thoughtfully.
