Skin Defense + Simplicity
This tinted sunscreen stick uses 25% non-nano zinc oxide to physically block UV at the surface—no absorption, no chemical filters. Organic cocoa powder provides a soft, natural tint that offsets the whiteness of zinc. With just four edible-grade ingredients, it’s built for sensitive skin and trusted by outdoor athletes and parents alike.
What you’ll notice
Day 1 – The stick glides on thick but blends fast. Your skin looks protected, not ghostly. Coverage is reliable and matte.
Day 7 – Holds strong through heat, sweat, and swim. Reapplication is easy and precise—even on wiggly kids.
Day 30 – A daily go-to for surf, hikes, and school drop-offs. You trust it because it works.
How to use

- Dot directly onto face and high-exposure spots like cheeks and nose.
- Use fingers to blend in a thin, even layer. Rub in well for a sheer finish.
- Apply extra in full sun or for long sessions outside.
- Reapply every 2 hours outdoors or after heavy sweating or toweling.
