To unstick zippers, I have always used a bar of soap or crayon. If that does not work, use a wax like a candle.

The teeth of the zipper is one my problems almost all the time. When I slide through the chain, it won't run smoothly. Before sliding to the chain (teeth), I rub the the candle on both sides. Do it at least 3 times before you zip it.
