SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA HYALU-CICA SILKY-FIT SUN STICK 7G

Values You Can Trust: Vegan-Friendly (PETA Certified) / Cruelty-Free (PETA Certified) / 100% Authentic Guarantee

A convenient, portable sun stick that delivers powerful SPF50+ PA++++ protection with a soothing, hydrating formula. Its silky, non-greasy finish makes it perfect for the Mauritian climate, providing a comfortable shield against intense UV rays without leaving a white cast, making reapplication over makeup effortless.

Dealing with the dual challenge of intense sun and humidity can make wearing sunscreen feel like a chore. This sun stick is designed for those who want high protection without the sticky, heavy feeling. It glides on smoothly, leaving a silky, natural finish that helps control shine, making it an ideal choice for quick touch-ups on the go, whether you're heading to the beach or commuting in city traffic.

• Texture: Silky, lightweight solid balm
• Finish: Natural, satin-matte finish (not greasy)
• Scent: Fragrance-free
• Best for: All skin types, especially combination, oily, and sensitive skin. Excellent for reapplying sunscreen throughout the day.

For your initial morning application, a liquid sunscreen is recommended for thorough coverage.

For Reapplication:

1. Step 1 (Throughout the day): Twist the dial at the bottom to expose a small amount of the sun stick.
2. Step 2 (THIS PRODUCT): Gently swipe the stick across your face, neck, and other sun-exposed areas. Ensure you make several passes for adequate coverage.
3. Step 3 (Blend): Lightly pat with fingertips to blend if needed, especially over makeup.

Note: Already own a similar product? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption.

While this stick is perfect for reapplication, your primary morning routine should use a liquid sunscreen for complete initial coverage.

• Minimalist (4 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Toner/Serum → 3) Moisturiser → 4) A liquid sunscreen (like SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum).
• For Touch-ups: Carry this sun stick with you to reapply every 2-3 hours over your initial sunscreen layer.

Daily Use — For Reapplication:

• Amount: Swipe back and forth across each area of the face (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin) 3-4 times to ensure an adequate layer is applied.
• Apply to: Face, neck, ears, and any other areas exposed to the sun. Its shape is convenient for the nose and around the eyes.
• Method: Glide directly onto the skin. If applying over makeup, use a gentle gliding motion and then pat lightly to avoid smudging.
• Frequency: Reapply at least every 2-3 hours, or more frequently after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? This stick's silky-matte finish helps control shine during reapplication.
• Under makeup? This is best used over makeup for reapplication. For initial application, a liquid sunscreen is better.
• Sensitive/reactive? The formula is gentle, but always patch test new products.

Safety: Avoid broken or irritated skin. Stop if a burning rash occurs. Teens can use this product safely as part of a simple cleanse–moisturise–SPF routine.

• Daily (AM): Use a liquid sunscreen as the last step of your morning skincare routine every single day.
• Daily (Reapplication): Use this sun stick to reapply your sun protection every 2-3 hours during daylight hours.

Mauritius Note: With the high UV index in Mauritius, reapplication is not optional. A sun stick makes this easy and hygienic, especially when you are out and about.

• Immediate: Skin feels soft, hydrated, and protected with a silky, non-greasy finish. Shine is visibly reduced.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent use and reapplication, you will prevent sunburn and tanning. Skin may feel calmer and more balanced due to the soothing effects of Centella Asiatica and hydration from Hyaluronic Acid.
• 4–8+ weeks: Consistent sun protection is the number one method for preventing premature aging (fine lines, wrinkles) and hyperpigmentation (sun spots). Long-term use contributes to healthier, more resilient skin.

Why use a lab-tested sunscreen stick, not just makeup with SPF?

• Most people do not apply enough foundation or BB cream to achieve the stated SPF value on the bottle. This sun stick is designed for easy, layered application to build up proper protection, especially for touch-ups. It provides dedicated, high-level sun protection that makeup alone cannot guarantee.

Why reapply sunscreen even if you're indoors?

• UVA rays, which cause premature aging and hyperpigmentation, can penetrate window glass. In Mauritius, where UV levels are high year-round, protecting your skin even when indoors near windows is a crucial step for long-term skin health.

• Works with: This sun stick can be reapplied over most skincare and makeup products. It layers well without significant pilling.
• Use carefully with: If wearing heavy or very dewy makeup, pat the stick on gently rather than swiping to minimize smudging.
• Avoid on: Do not apply on broken, wounded, or irritated skin.

• Oily / Combination: Excellent. The silky-matte finish helps control sebum and reduces shine throughout the day.
• Dry / Dehydrated: Good. The Hyalu-Cica formula provides hydration, but very dry skin types should ensure they have applied a good moisturizer beforehand.
• Sensitive: Very Good. Formulated with soothing Centella Asiatica and free from common irritants. However, a patch test is always recommended.
• Acne-Prone: Good. The formula is non-comedogenic and lightweight. The stick format is hygienic for reapplication as it minimizes touching the face with hands.

• Sun Protection: Provides high-level, broad-spectrum defense against UVA and UVB rays.
• Convenience: Allows for hygienic and easy reapplication of sunscreen anytime, anywhere.
• Oil Control: The silky, porous polymer formula helps manage excess sebum and shine.
• Soothing & Hydration: Calms and moisturizes the skin with its unique Hyalu-Cica formula.

• UV Filters: Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (Uvinul A Plus), Ethylhexyl Triazone (Uvinul T 150), Polysilicone-15, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (Tinosorb S). These are modern, photostable chemical filters offering high UVA and UVB protection.
• Protection Standard: SPF 50+ / PA++++ (Independently tested). SPF (Sun Protection Factor) primarily measures UVB protection. PA++++ (Protection Grade of UVA) indicates extremely high UVA protection.
• Water Resistance: The formula is described as sweat-resistant, making it suitable for active days. For swimming or heavy sweating, reapply after towel drying.
• White Cast & Finish: Leaves no white cast, making it suitable for all skin tones, including deeper complexions. The finish is silky and natural, not greasy.
• Application Amount & Reapplication: For initial application, ensure thorough coverage. For reapplication, swipe the stick 3-4 times over each area. Reapply every 2-3 hours of sun exposure.
• Reef Safety: Brand-stated as "Reef-Safe," formulated without Oxybenzone and Octinoxate. Note: "Reef-safe" is not a regulated term, but this formulation avoids the two most commonly cited harmful chemicals.

1. Apply a small amount of the product to a clean patch of skin on your inner arm or behind your ear.
2. Wait for 24 hours. Check the area for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. Discontinue use immediately if any irritation develops.

• Issue: It's tugging my skin on application.

  Quick Fix: Don't press too hard. A gentle glide is all that's needed. For reapplying over dry skin or makeup, you can warm the stick slightly on the back of your hand before gliding it on your face for a smoother application.

  Quick Fix: Instead of swiping, try gently patting or dabbing the stick onto your face, then use your fingertips to lightly press and blend the product in. This technique minimizes makeup disturbance.

  Quick Fix: Ensure you are turning the dial at the very bottom of the component. If it seems stuck, try gently twisting it back and forth to loosen the mechanism. Do not try to force it.

Aggregated sentiment from online platforms. Individual results may vary.

"This sun stick is a game-changer for quick and easy reapplication. I have very sensitive skin prone to redness, and it feels calming and gentle, thanks to the centella and hyaluronic acid."

"I use it to reapply through the day so that I don't have to touch my face. It leaves a slight filmy feeling but nothing crazy, and it goes away. Doesn't irritate my sensitive acne prone skin. Works over makeup too!"

"The size is great for a purse or for travel, and the texture is very light and comfortable on the face. It doesn't get sticky or leave a white cast."

Fair Caveat: "I have oily skin and I think it is a bit too oily for me, but I might try it in winter. It feels very good and moisturizing when applied on other parts of the face."

Our curation philosophy is rooted in truthfulness and consumer protection, ensuring every product we offer is sourced directly from brands or their authorized distributors and is well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

Can I use this as my only sunscreen?

For initial morning application, a liquid sunscreen is recommended to ensure you get full, even coverage. This stick is best for convenient reapplication throughout the day.

How much do I need to apply for it to be effective?

It's important to be generous. Swipe the stick back and forth over each area of your face 3-4 times. Under-application will significantly reduce the level of sun protection.

Will this melt in the heat?

It's a solid balm and is designed to be stable. However, like any balm product, it can soften in extreme heat. It's best to avoid leaving it in a hot car or in direct, prolonged sunlight.

Is this suitable for children?

The gentle formula is generally safe for older children and teens. For very young children, it is always best to consult a pediatrician and use sunscreens specifically formulated for them.
