Tired of sunscreens that feel greasy and heavy in the Mauritian humidity? This sun stick offers a game-changing solution.

• What it is: A solid, chemical sunscreen stick that glides on smoothly for a comfortable, velvety matte finish.
• Who it's for: Ideal for oily, combination, and normal skin types. Perfect for anyone who dislikes the sticky feeling of traditional sunscreens or needs an easy way to reapply protection on the go, even over makeup.
• What it does: Provides powerful, broad-spectrum UV protection (SPF 50+ PA++++) while controlling excess oil and soothing the skin with traditional Korean botanicals like Mugwort.

For your morning routine, this is the final and most crucial step.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Hydrate (Optional): Apply a light, watery toner or serum.
3. Protect (THIS PRODUCT): Swipe the sun stick evenly across your face. See "How to Use" for the right amount. Reapply every 2-3 hours.

Note: Already own a sunscreen? Finish that first to avoid waste. This stick is also an excellent choice for reapplication throughout the day over your primary sunscreen lotion.

This product should be the last step of your morning skincare routine, before makeup.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Moisturiser (if needed) → 3) Matte Sun Stick.
• Expanded (4-5 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Toner → 3) Targeted Serum (e.g., Vitamin C) → 4) Lightweight Moisturiser → 5) Matte Sun Stick.

Wait times: Allow 1-2 minutes for your final moisturiser to absorb before applying the sun stick to prevent pilling.

Initial Application (AM):

• Amount: To ensure adequate protection, swipe the stick back and forth across each area of your face (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin) at least 4 times.
• Method: Apply directly from the stick to your face. Gently pat with fingertips to ensure even coverage, especially around the nose and eyes. Apply to face, neck, and ears.
• Frequency: Apply once every morning as the final step of your skincare routine.

Reapplication (Throughout the day):

• Frequency: Reapply every 2-3 hours, or more often if you are swimming or sweating heavily.
• Over Makeup: Gently glide the stick over your face. Avoid pressing hard to minimize makeup disruption. Pat lightly to blend. Some users prefer to apply it to high points (cheeks, nose bridge) to maintain a matte finish without disturbing the full face of makeup.

Safety: Avoid broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a rash or burning occurs. Teens should focus on a simple routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF.

• Daily: Use this sun stick every single morning as the last step in your routine. Rain or shine, indoors or outdoors.
• Reapplication: Set a reminder to reapply around midday and again in the late afternoon if you will be exposed to sunlight (e.g., during your drive home).

Mauritius Note: The UV index in Mauritius is high year-round. Consistent daily application and reapplication are the most effective ways to protect your skin from sun damage and prevent hyperpigmentation from worsening.

• Protection Level: SPF 50+ PA++++ (Independently tested in Korea & Spain).
• UV Filters: Chemical Filters (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Polysilicone-15).
• Broad Spectrum: Yes, the PA++++ rating indicates very high protection against UVA rays, which cause aging and hyperpigmentation. The SPF 50+ rating indicates high protection against UVB rays, which cause sunburn.
• Tested Dose vs. Real-World Use: Official SPF/PA ratings are based on applying a thick, even layer. For a stick, this means applying 4 passes back and forth over each area. A quick, single swipe is not enough.
• Water Resistance: Not specified as water-resistant. Reapply after swimming or heavy sweating.
• Cast on Skin of Colour: Formulated to be transparent with no white cast. The matte finish helps avoid a greasy look.
• Reapplication Rule: Every 2-3 hours of sun exposure. This is crucial for maintaining protection.

'Reef-safe' is not a regulated term. This formula does not contain oxybenzone or octinoxate.

• Immediately: Skin has a smooth, velvety matte finish. Excess shine is reduced. Skin feels comfortable and non-greasy.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you may notice your skin feels less oily throughout the day. Skin feels calmer and less irritated due to the soothing effects of mugwort.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The primary long-term benefit is prevention. By protecting your skin from UV damage, you are actively preventing the formation of new dark spots, fine lines, and sun-induced aging. Existing dark spots may appear less pronounced because they are not being darkened by daily sun exposure.

• Why use a tested sunscreen stick, not just makeup with SPF? The SPF in makeup is often not applied thickly enough to provide the stated protection. A dedicated sun stick ensures you get a full, even layer of SPF 50+. Use makeup with SPF as a bonus top-up, not your primary protection.
• Why reapply, even if my skin doesn't feel burnt? UVA rays, which cause deep skin aging and pigmentation, don't cause burning. Sunscreen filters also break down with sun exposure. Reapplication is essential to maintain protection against all forms of UV damage throughout the day.

• Works Well With: This sun stick layers well over most lightweight, water-based serums (like Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide) and gel-cream moisturisers.
• Use Carefully With: Heavy, oil-based moisturisers or facial oils. Applying this matte stick over a very rich or oily base can sometimes lead to pilling (when the product balls up). To avoid this, allow any oily products to fully absorb for 5-10 minutes before applying the sun stick.
• Avoid On: Do not apply directly to broken, wounded, or irritated skin.

• Oily Skin: Excellent. The sebum-control silica powder provides a matte finish and helps manage shine throughout the day.
• Combination Skin: Very Good. It effectively mattifies the T-zone without over-drying the cheeks. Can be used to selectively de-shine oily areas.
• Normal Skin: Good. Provides a comfortable, non-greasy finish.
• Dry Skin: May be too mattifying for some. If you have dry skin, ensure you apply a good moisturiser underneath. You might prefer a more hydrating sunscreen formula for your initial application.
• Sensitive Skin: Generally good, as it's formulated without artificial fragrance. However, a patch test is always recommended as individual responses to chemical filters and botanicals can vary.

• Excess Oil & Shine: The primary benefit is its ability to create a smooth, matte finish and control sebum.
• Sun Protection: Provides high-level, broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, preventing sunburn, photoaging, and hyperpigmentation.
• Convenience: The stick format is perfect for quick, hygienic reapplication throughout the day, especially for those who are active or outdoors.
• Redness & Irritation: Mugwort and Green Tea extracts help to soothe and calm the skin, making it suitable for skin prone to heat-induced redness.

Who should use this: Ideal for those with oily to combination skin looking for a matte, convenient sunscreen for daily use and reapplication.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with very dry skin may find the matte finish accentuates dryness. Those with known allergies to specific botanical extracts or chemical sunscreens should review the ingredient list carefully.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small, pea-sized amount of product to a clean patch of skin on your jawline or behind your ear.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, re-check the area at 48 and 72 hours.
4. If irritation, a rash, or burning occurs at any point, discontinue use and cleanse the area.

• Texture: A smooth, solid balm that glides easily without tugging the skin.
• Finish: Velvety, soft matte finish. It is not drying but effectively reduces shine.
• Scent: Odorless / No detectable fragrance.
• pH: Not applicable for an anhydrous (waterless) stick formula.
• FA/Comedogenicity: The formula contains some ingredients like Isopropyl Palmitate and Ethylhexyl Palmitate which can be a risk for those prone to fungal acne or clogging. However, user experiences vary widely, and the overall formulation is designed to be non-greasy. Patch testing is recommended if you are highly prone to either concern.

• Issue: It's moving my makeup when I reapply.
  • Quick Fix: Instead of swiping, try gently patting or dabbing the stick onto the skin. This presses the product on top of makeup rather than dragging it. Alternatively, swipe the stick onto your fingertips or a makeup sponge and then press it onto your face.
• Issue: It feels a bit waxy or heavy.
  • Quick Fix: You might be applying too much in one go. Remember, 4 light passes are better than one heavy, thick layer. After applying, gently pat your face with your palms for a few seconds to help it meld with the skin.
• Issue: My skin feels a little dry after using it.
  • Quick Fix: This is a mattifying formula. Ensure you are using a hydrating moisturiser underneath, especially if your skin isn't very oily. Apply the sun stick after your moisturiser has had a minute to absorb.

This sun stick is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: The matte finish and sebum-controlling silica powder are perfect for combating the shine and greasy feeling common in our hot, humid weather. It feels weightless and comfortable.
• Drier Winters: It continues to work well, but if your skin leans drier in the cooler months, simply layer it over a slightly more nourishing moisturiser in the morning.
• On-the-Go Protection: Its solid, portable format makes it ideal for carrying in a bag for reapplication after a swim at the beach, during a hike, or simply throughout a normal workday. It won't leak or spill.

• "I love this for secondary application... I love the matte effect and how soft my skin feels. The small size slips easily into my purse. I'm obsessed with BOJ sunscreens!" - Combination Skin, SkinSort review (2024-05)
• "This has a slick, velvety silicone feel and gives you that texture-blurring, soft-matte finish like a pore-filling primer. The stick makes reapplying spf throughout the day much more convenient." - Combination Skin, SkinSort review (2025-07)
• Fair Caveat: "Unfortunately, if you swipe it over makeup, it will take your makeup with it. To get full coverage you'd be swiping off your whole base." - Paraphrased from SkinSort review (2025-07). Several users note that reapplication requires a gentle patting motion to avoid disturbing makeup.
• "I apply the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun... then I apply this one on the nose, forehead, and chin to reduce the shine... I think this combination is gold for me, specially for summer when I want a nice glow without looking oily :)" - Sensitive Skin, SkinSort review (2024-03)

At Adilsons, we believe in truth and transparency. Every product is carefully curated and sourced directly from official channels in South Korea to guarantee 100% authenticity. We are committed to providing you with clear, evidence-based information to help you make mindful and effective skincare choices.

Is this a chemical or physical sunscreen?

This is a 100% chemical sunscreen, which allows for its transparent, non-greasy, and cast-free finish.

Can I use this as my only sunscreen?

Yes, you can. However, for your first application in the morning, many people find it easier to ensure full coverage with a lotion or cream sunscreen. Sun sticks are exceptionally good for reapplication throughout the day.

How do I clean the stick?

If you feel the need to clean the surface, you can gently wipe the top of the balm with a clean, dry tissue. Do not use water or wet wipes, as this can affect the formula.

Will it melt in the heat?

It is a solid balm and is stable in warm temperatures, but it's best to avoid leaving it in extreme heat, such as a parked car in direct sun, as it could soften.

Best For: Oily and combination skin types, or anyone seeking a convenient, non-greasy sunscreen for reapplication in a humid climate.

Key Benefits:

• Provides a true matte, velvety finish without drying the skin.
