Sunscreen is upping it’s style status this season – with the Otis Hope Carey and We Are Feel Good Inc Zinc Stick, a limited-edition collaboration taking it from essential to elegant accessory. It’s a partnership between beauty and art that reimagines SPF: sleek, thoughtful, and unmistakably Australian in spirit. Just in time for National Skin Cancer Action Week.
This zinc stick isn’t just about UVAs and UVBs. it’s about connection – to the coastline, to culture, and to the communal rituals that define Australian Summers by the ocean. Carey’s artwork transforms the packaging into a miniature canvas, capturing the textures, colours, and stories of his childhood beaches. It’s a quiet reminder that beauty and purpose can coexist, and that caring for your skin can feel as considered as choosing the perfect swimming costume.
To celebrate the collaboration, Otis Hope Carey and We Are Feel Good Inc. created a large-scale sand art installation on his local shores. The ephemeral artwork, captured on film, fuses Aboriginal artistic traditions with contemporary storytelling, reflecting both the cultural richness of the land and the deep bond Australians share with the sea. The opportunity is an invitation to pause, look, and reflect on the importance of sun safety, all while taking in the natural beauty around you.
There’s heart behind the artistry too. A portion of every Zinc Stick sale supports Skin Check Champions, the not-for-profit raising awareness and resources for early skin cancer detection. Sunscreen packs will also reach communities chosen by Carey, ensuring the project delivers real care alongside inspiration. As Jake Paterson, founder of We Are Feel Good Inc., explains, “By blending Otis’ artistry with our mission of sun protection, we hope to inspire Australians to protect themselves while giving back to communities who need it most in our sunburnt country.”
Launching early December 2025, the limited edition Otis Hope Carey and We Are Feel Good Inc Zinc Stick invites women to embrace a sun-safe lifestyle without compromising on style, elevating a daily ritual into something considered and beautiful. Whether you’re strolling along Bondi, picnicking in the Dandenongs, or navigating city streets, it’s a reminder that protection can be as stylish as the printed sarong you wrap around your waist.
