1. What is this sunscreen, and how do I use it?
It’s a biodegradable SPF50 stick, 100% natural, organic and vegan. Apply directly to clean skin on face and lips. It leaves a matte finish with a universal nude shade that instantly blends into the skin without a white cast.
2. Does it contain mineral or chemical filters?
This formula uses only mineral filters (zinc oxide & titanium dioxide), which provide safe and effective UVA/UVB/Blue Light protection without penetrating the skin.
3. Why are mineral filters an advantage?
- They reflect and scatter UV rays instead of absorbing them.
- Safer for sensitive skin.
- Reef-safe, eco-friendly, and biodegradable.
- Pigments reduce the typical white effect of mineral sunscreens.
4. What are the key benefits of its active ingredients?
- Shea butter, argan and rosehip: nourish, repair, and provide anti-aging benefits.
- Vitamin E: antioxidant protection.
- Sweet almond oil: hydrates and improves elasticity.
5. Is this stick suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The natural, chemical-free formula with shea butter and rosehip oil makes it ideal for delicate skin.
6. Why does it have a tinted effect?
The universal nude shade helps conceal imperfections and dark circles while avoiding the white cast typical of pure mineral sunscreens.
7. Is it water-resistant?
Being formulated on a blend of vegetable waxes, it offers good resistance to moisture and perspiration. However, as with all sunscreens, it is advisable to reapply every 2 hours or after sweating or swimming to maintain its effectiveness.
8. How to avoid the white cast?
This sunscreen with a mineral filter leaves no white cast thanks to the touch of color from its natural pigments.
9. What is its usage cycle? Approximately how long does it last?
This is probably the largest biodegradable sunscreen stick on the market. It depends on usage, but this stick can last a year.
Application on specific areas
1. Where is a sunscreen stick best applied on the face?
A sunscreen stick is especially suited for targeted areas of the face that are more exposed or sensitive to the sun, such as the nose, upper forehead, cheekbones, eye contour (bone area), lips, and ears.
2. Can I use a sunscreen stick only on specific areas?
Yes. This is one of its main benefits. You can apply it only where extra protection is needed, without covering the entire face.
3. Can I use a sunscreen stick on my nose?
Yes, it’s one of the most recommended areas, as it is particularly exposed to sun damage.
4. Is it recommended to use a sunscreen stick on the ears?
Yes. The ears are highly exposed and often overlooked. The stick format makes application easy and precise.
5. Can I apply it around the eyes?
Yes, by applying it along the orbital bone (under-eye area), avoiding the eyelids and direct contact with the eyes. It’s an effective way to protect this delicate area.
6. Can it be used on the lips?
Yes. You can apply it directly to the lips to protect them from sun exposure.

If there is hair, the stick may leave residue when it comes into contact with it, especially if the hair color is different. In these cases, a sunscreen spray is a better option, as it provides a more even application without affecting the appearance of the hair.
As part of a routine, you can use the spray for overall scalp coverage and the stick to reinforce protection on more exposed or sensitive areas, such as the forehead or hairline.
9. Can I use it on the hair parting?
In this area, a sunscreen spray is recommended, as it allows for even application without leaving residue on the hair. It’s a fast and clean solution for protecting the parting.

2. Can I use this sunscreen if I have oily skin?
It depends on how and where you use it.
The stick is not the lightest format for full-face application, especially on oily skin or in hot and humid climates. In these cases, a sunscreen spray is recommended, as it provides a lighter, more even application.
The stick works well as a complement for targeted areas that need extra protection, such as dark spots, lips, or sensitive areas.
3. Is it suitable for dry skin?
Yes, it protects without drying out the skin.
4. Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?

Like any sunscreen, if applied excessively or not properly cleansed at the end of the day, it may lead to product buildup on the skin.
For this reason, it should be integrated into a proper cleansing routine. Due to its richer texture, the stick is best used on targeted areas rather than as a full-face application on oily or acne-prone skin.
6. Is it suitable for men with beards?
On areas with facial hair, the stick may leave residue due to its pigments. For this reason, it’s not the best option for direct application on the beard.
In these cases, a sunscreen spray is recommended, as it allows for a lighter, more even application without affecting the appearance of the hair. The stick can be used as a complement on exposed or hair-free areas.
7. Can it be applied over beard or facial hair?
It’s not recommended. Due to its pigments, it may leave residue and affect the appearance of facial hair.
For beard areas, a sunscreen spray is a better option. The stick works best on bare skin or hair-free areas.
8. Is it suitable for daily use?
Yes. Daily use is key to protecting men’s skin from premature ageing.
