Ingredients

Full ingredients
Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Dibutyl Lauroyl Glutamide, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, Dibutyl Ethylhexanoyl Glutamide, Helianthus Annuus Seed Extract, Tocopherol, Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate, Octyldodecanol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Tocopheryl Acetate.

  • Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine - broad UVA and UVB filters that carry most of the protection.
  • Ethylhexyl triazone and diethylhexyl butamido triazone - UVB filters that are photostable and sit well in an anhydrous stick.
  • Tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) - antioxidants that help defend against free radicals.
  • Sunflower seed extract (Helianthus annuus) - an emollient that keeps the glide smooth and the finish comfortable.
  • Coco-caprylate/caprate and dicaprylyl carbonate - light emollients that give the stick its transparent, non-greasy feel.

How to use

  1. Glide the stick directly over the delicate areas: nose, cheekbones, eye contour, lips and ears.
  2. Go over moles, tattoos, scars and dark spots that need extra cover.
  3. Apply before sun exposure, and again over the day. It can be used on top of makeup.
  4. Reapply every two hours, after swimming and after towelling dry.

It is a targeted top-up, not whole-face cover. Use a facial sunscreen underneath.
