HOW TO USE
Last step. Every single morning.
01
Final step of morning routine
After moisturiser or day cream has been absorbed. SPF on top of everything, not under.
02
Two to three swipes per zone
Swipe directly across forehead, each cheek, nose, chin. Then blend lightly with fingertips.
03
Don't forget ears and neck
UV damage is cumulative everywhere. Two extra seconds per side.
04
Reapply every two hours outdoors
No SPF lasts all day. The stick format is designed for easy reapplication, pocket it.
Honest answers
Questions about SPF 50 Stick.
Is it reef-safe?+
Yes. The formula uses only mineral UV filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). Both are considered reef-safe. No oxybenzone, no octinoxate.
Will it leave a white cast?+
Less than most mineral sunscreens. The zinc particle size is optimised to minimise cast on fair to medium skin tones. Deeper skin tones may notice a slight brightness, blending with fingertips after application helps significantly.
Can I use it to reapply over makeup?+
Yes. That's the main reason it's a stick. Swipe directly over makeup, then blend lightly with a fingertip or a brush. Far easier than a liquid SPF reapplication.
Is it suitable for children?+
Mineral-only SPF is generally considered safer for children's skin. However, this formula is designed and tested for adult facial use. For children, consult a paediatric dermatologist.

Honest results
"I stopped skipping SPF because I stopped hating how it felt."
The step that protects everything else you do.
UV is responsible for roughly 80% of visible skin ageing. Every serum, every cream, every ritual you do — SPF protects the investment.
The stick format exists for one reason: reapplication is the step everyone skips. Pull it out, swipe, done. No need to undo your makeup, no pump to spill, no excuse.
