Why sunscreen keeps failing on a beach day.

Most sunscreen was designed for a single application before you leave the house. A full day at the beach is a different problem. Heat, water, kids wiping their faces: coverage is gone long before you realise it.

High points burn first.

Nose, lips, cheekbones, ears: these spots catch the most UV and are the first places coverage breaks down. They need heavier, more targeted protection than a general once-over can give them.

Bottles don't survive a beach bag.

A 200ml bottle is awkward to carry, easy to lose in a bag, and prone to leaking in the heat. Mid-afternoon reapplication becomes a whole event instead of a 10-second fix.

Two hours goes fast.

On a full beach day, two hours is before lunch. By the time you notice coverage has gone, the damage on those high-exposure spots is already happening. The eyes-stinging reapplication battle with kids makes it worse.

Why families take this to the beach.

One stick covers the spots that matter most. No bottle to wrestle with, no reapplication drama, no stinging eyes.

  • 100% mineral SPF 50+ that stays put through sweat, water and reapplication chaos.
  • Pocket-sized and lid-free. One swipe on nose, lips and ears in seconds.
  • Fragrance-free and clinically approved for sensitive skin, including eczema and acne.

GOOD TO KNOW.

What is an SPF 50+ sun stick?

Our SPF 50+ stick is a type of sunscreen that comes in a solid, stick form. It offers very high protection against harmful UV rays.

Sunscreen on a stick is convenient, portable and easy to apply, especially on hard-to-reach areas. It’s also less messy and less likely to leak, making it perfect for travel.

How is the SPF 50+ Moisturising Lip Protector different to the SPF 50+ Mineral Sun Stick?

The SPF 50+ Moisturising Lip Protector is designed specifically for everyday lip care. It delivers SPF 50+ UV protection along with deep hydration and repair using shea butter, beeswax, and vitamin E-perfect for preventing chapping, cracking, and dryness.

On the other hand, the SPF 50+ Mineral Sun Stick is first and foremost a sunscreen made from mineral filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). It is made for larger areas of skin, like your face, nose, ears, and neck to create a physical barrier against the sun.

Can I use the SPF 50+ sun stick on my face, especially if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, our SPF 50+ sun stick is designed for use on both the face and body.

It’s formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin while providing effective skin protection. Often, people with very sensitive skin find mineral sunscreens don't irritate their skin and this product uses 100% mineral UV filters.

In fact, all of our products are clinically and dermatologically tested and approved for use on sensitive skin and are suitable for all skin types.

What if I'm not in when it's delivered?

The majority of our products fit through the average letter box. In the event your order doesn't, Royal Mail will leave a card letting you know they tried to deliver and what the next step is (either your order was left in a safe place or it has been returned to your local sorting office where it can either be collected, or a redelivery booked).

Is the SPF 50+ sun stick water resistant?

Yes, our SPF 50+ sun stick is a 100% mineral sunscreen, designed to be water-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor activities.

We encourage people to re-apply every 2-3 hours, especially after towelling, swimming or sweating.
