No. Bacitracin is a triple antibiotic for skin infections and has only a small amount of zinc in it. You can buy just zinc and it can be used as a sunblock. Many lifeguards put it on their noses because it completely blocks the sun but you it is not clear it is white and you can see it because it is not rubbed in.

Bacitracin with zinc is not typically used as a sunblock. Bacitracin is an antibiotic used for treating skin infections, while zinc oxide is a common ingredient in sunblocks for providing sun protection. It is not recommended to use bacitracin with zinc as a sunblock without consulting a healthcare professional.
