Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Face Stick, SPF 30, Lava

From the reviews, a lot of people seem to want a sunscreen that glides on and rubs in well. Those sunscreens typically contain strange chemicals and get absorbed into your blood stream. This stuff is mineral sunscreen and it wont run in as smoothly. The positive thing is you wont absorb it into your blood stream, and this stuff stays on all day. I used it for kitesurfing and I can go hours without getting burned, and it works great for regular outdoor activities. The tint makes it less noticeable than the typical zinc sunscreens that leave huge white streaks on your face.

I had high hopes for this Tinted Face Stick Sunscreen, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. Firstly, the product was much rougher than I anticipated, making it difficult to apply smoothly onto my skin. The texture felt more like sandpaper than a gentle sunscreen. Secondly, I was surprised by the size of the product—it was much smaller than I had imagined. For the price, I expected a larger quantity. Lastly, the tint itself was barely noticeable on my light skin tone. I was hoping for a subtle hint of color to even out my complexion, but unfortunately, it didn't make much of a difference. I understand that tinted sunscreens may not provide heavy coverage like foundation, but I expected at least a hint of tint.

This is like putting clay on your face. Chunky, does not smooth out, sticky. Do NOT recommend

Very good product. I found it on an all day boat tour in Hawaii and didn’t get burned in spite of b not being in the sun much post-lockdown. It has a higher percentage of effective ingredients compared to the other mineral-based products I’ve tried. And (bonus!) it doesn’t have that overpowering fake fruit scent. The scent is nice and mild. The bronze is probably a little lighter than you expect, medium to fair skin will blend well after a day out. The orange packaging is the old one - by now those are going to be dried out. Zinc doesn’t last forever so get the white packaging. (To the manufacturer: Please bring back the colorful packaging! I loved the color and this white one looks a little too medical for the beach. I was sad 😔 to see the fluorescent pack go.)

I wanna start off with the fact that I did read the reviews. This review will be a little long but its based off a 2 week trying period beforeni posted a review. I love thisbbrand and wanted to give the most honest review that i can to help others in finding a good product for them. The product as a whole is great. It's just the consistency of the product in the packaging is the downside. Yes, it also has a smell to it. It's not bad or from added fragrance but just the scent of the ingredients it's made with. I work a hard labor job where I'm always sweating and in and out of the hot sun or even in a freezer. But everyday I go out in to the sun so i like to wear a tinted sunscreen for protection and to even out my skintone a little. It stays put and still gives me a more even complexion. I can wear alone or put some powder on top. I prefer alone because it is a tacky product that I feel makes most powders look a little weird. (Fine powder, however, worked okay) The biggest issue is the consistency in the turn tube. I have to really work it against my hand to warm it up and get it melted down to be able to blend out on my face. (Which can be a little messy) After that, it's smooth sailing. However, it's a face stick which is usually bought by those on the go and wanting to quickly re apply. I feel like the tinted moisturizer would be better in consistency to get it blended for that but bulkier of packaging. I still personally love this product even though it isn't the quickest re apply there is but it's a much safer formula for my skin. It hasn't broken me out in the 2 weeks I've been wearing it. I love raw elements and I'll definitely be getting this again for the final result. But if you're looking for something quick and has more coverage, this might not be the best for you. Remember it's not supposed to look like make up. It's a sunscreen for people are normally active or for those who want some light coverage but still protect their skin for the sun. I wouldn't knock it before trying but just know it is a thick formula and you will have to work it a bit in order to smooth it out.

great product but small and lasts not too long. I would buy it again.

I LOVE this product. Package is compact (great to throw in purse or small bag) Color is gorgeous. Has light sparkle, smells great and has no toxic chemicals added. will never use another facial sunscreen again, other than this product. will be buying again for summer of 2024

Love this stick for the natural ingredients and only thing that can last thru & works for being in the ocean!
