The Story Behind 3 Fingers
Grant's Journey
3 Fingers was originally created by Grant Prest, sports enthusiast, Paralympian volleyballer (Sydney 2000), and lifelong ocean lover. Born without his right leg and missing three fingers, Grant never let that stop him from embracing life to the fullest. Dedicated father of two little surfers, Grant wanted a zinc that was safe for them, yet tough enough to keep up with their endless days in the sun and surf - inspiring the beginning of 3Fingers - a name that embodies grit, passion and a fighting spirit.
Grant has always been conscious about what goes in and on his body, but after falling in love with the ocean - sparked from a country-to-sea change 25+ Years ago - developed a new passion for surfing and protecting the ocean. That’s why 3Fingers Zinc is natural and reef safe - made to protect you safely while caring for the environment.
Grant sold 3Fingers in June 2025 to a small family based in Yeppoon Qld, who are dedicated to carry on his legacy and build the brand to the full potential of his vision.
The 3 Fingers Mission
At 3 Fingers, we’re here to keep Aussies covered - whether you’re chasing waves, building dreams, or working under the blistering sun. We believe in keeping it simple: natural ingredients, small-batch made in Australia, and zinc that works as hard as you do. Our mission is to create face protection that’s tough, dependable, and made for real life - so you can spend less time worrying about your skin and more time doing what you love.
Aussie Made for the Aussie Climate
3 Fingers Zinc is proudly small-batch manufactured right here in Australia. That means every tin is crafted with care, using natural, vegan-friendly nourishing ingredients for a smooth finish and 30% zinc oxide for max protection.
