Its key benefit is providing reliable, broad-spectrum defense with a mess-free application, ideal for on-the-go reapplication.

FAQs
How often should I reapply the Sun Slick SPF 50?
You should reapply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, after towel drying, or at least every two hours.
Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the HydroPeptide Sun Slick SPF 50 Mineral Sun Stick is formulated with gentle, non-nano zinc oxide and is designed to be non-irritating, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen stick?
Yes, you can wear makeup over the sunscreen. Allow the stick to set for a few minutes after application for a smoother makeup base. Its radiant finish can complement makeup beautifully.
What does 'non-nano zinc oxide' mean?
Non-nano zinc oxide refers to zinc oxide particles that are too large to penetrate the skin's surface. They sit on top of the skin to create a physical barrier against UV rays, which is considered gentler and safer.
How do I use the stick for reapplication?
Simply twist the base to expose more product and glide it over the desired areas. It's designed for quick, mess-free touch-ups without needing your hands.
What is the size of the product?
The product size is 15g.
Does this product leave a white cast?
While mineral sunscreens can sometimes leave a white cast, this formula is designed to glide on smoothly and leave a subtle radiant sheen, minimizing the appearance of a white cast on most skin tones.
Troubleshooting
Product feels gritty or has a strange texture.
This can sometimes occur due to temperature fluctuations. Allow the product to rest at room temperature for a period. If the issue persists, discontinue use.
Difficulty applying a smooth layer.
Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. Glide the stick gently; excessive pressure may cause uneven application. Warm the stick slightly against your hand for a moment before applying to the face if needed.
Skin appears too shiny after application.
While designed for a radiant finish, if it appears too intense, try applying a lighter layer or patting gently with a clean tissue to absorb excess product. Consider using it only on areas needing extra protection.
Product feels sticky.
Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer. Allow the product to set for a few minutes before further makeup application or activities. Reapplication should also be a light layer.
