SALT & STONE SPF 50 Tinted Sunscreen Stick | Made with Non-Nano Zinc Oxide | Broad Spectrum Sun Protection with Matte Finish | Water Resistant & Reef Safe | Cruelty-Free & Travel-Friendly (0.53 oz)

I set out to buy a non-greasy tinted sunscreen stick to stash in my purse so I wouldn't have to touch my hands to my face to reapply when I'm out and about, and this product helps me do exactly that! Other things I like:1. I'm super pale and found this to blend naturally without having to use my hands to rub it in2. It isn't greasy whatsoever. Feels and looks like a matte finish3. Goes on fairly easily. I'm a little confused by the other reviews that says it pulls and tugs when applied -- there is a little bit of resistance but it doesn't bother me at all4. Teeny tiny and really easy to stash in my purse/backpack! Sure it's pricey for what you're getting, but I only use this stick 1-2x per week so I feel like it will still last me a long time.

I prefer a liquidy chemical sunscreen for my face and neck, but they tend to run and burn my eyes. I use mineral SPF sticks around my eyes to avoid this, but most leave a white or lavender cast even on my very light skin. This is a good option to avoid that.The texture is a little bit stiff for the eyelid, so I make sure to use an eye cream or moisturizer a few minutes beforehand, and sometimes warm the stick briefly on the back of my hand before applying. I apply quite a few swipes and pat it in a little with my fingertips, but the color doesn't require any blending. It leaves no noticeable cast due to the tint; it does gather in the crease of my eyelid over several hours, but that's been the case for every stick I've tried, and it's far less noticeable with a tinted product than a white one. Other than that, it stays in place very well. The finish is matte, and those with dryer skin would definitely want a moisturizer underneath.If you've never used an SPF stick before or you're used to the giant ones Neutrogena makes, you'll probably be a little shocked at the small size, but this is a pretty typical volume for SPF sticks (and is easy to travel with). The shape of the packaging leads people to believe it will be the size of a stick of deodorant, but it's more like a couple tubes of chapstick stuck together. I don't think I would be willing to pay this price for this much product if I were using it all over my face every day (and definitely not if I wanted something for the body too), but it's just the right size for my needs.

This is by far my favorite surf sunscreen when I’m planning to be on the water for a while. The color blends really well with my skin tone, and rarely makes my sensitive skin break out, even when wearing it all day

I have dry skin and always apply spf after a thick layer of moisturizer is already on my face, but still there is almost no glide from this stick. I have to be very thoughtful about which direction I'm dragging it over my face because my skin is defo getting pulled, harshly, in a way that absolutely can't be good if done on the regular. I do not use this unless I'm traveling or really need my spf applied in under 30 seconds. However, everything else about this stick is genuinely very good - the tint blends invisibly with my skin (cool toned pale Asian), and the dryness also means it doesn't rub off or transfer onto clothing. I just really wish this was gentler to put on.

I have tried several mineral sticks and this one is hands down my favorite. I have hyperpigmentation on my cheekbones and forehead and this helps keep it protected on days when I’m in heavy sun. I always cover my face with a hat and big sunglasses when I can. Sometimes the big hat isn’t feasible (bike rides, water parks) and I don’t want to miss out on the fun. On those days I apply a base tinted mineral sunscreen and then add this over top. On long outside days where I’m not in the water I use a base tinted mineral sunscreen, spot cover with this stick, set it with a sunscreen powder and brush a little bronzer over the top.( baseball tournaments) it’s not a perfect blend with my skin but much less obvious than the white sticks and a touch of powder and bronzer makes it invisible It is very water resistant…careful if the stick gets warm because it will deposit A LOT more product( not always a bad thing) For reference I have a warm(yellow) based skin tone but the only color I get on my face is from self tanner!

Works great in tropical climates, is very water resistant and lasts all day. Some reviewers have complained that the stick is too “hard”, but I do not like other tinted sunscreens that are soft. They smear and stain onto anything that touches them. I can use this to cover a tattoo on my forearm and it does NOT transfer to my clothes. When using it on my face, the color may be a bit light for those with brown skin, but it does not look pasty white like non tinted sunscreens. I am Caucasian, so the color works well. I can be in and out of the surf all day, and this will stay on until I use soap and water to wash it off.

Listen, don’t get me wrong. I think it is a good sunblock. But I think it’s absolutely absurd. The rate that they’re charging for it the fact that some thing the size of my thumb is $22 is absolutely insane and if someone blames inflation that’s a lie good products like this you can go to Trader Joe’s for lessI’m disappointed in the size. It should be at least 3x this size

I have very sensitive oily skin. I didn’t get a sunburn or irritation when I used this product but it left a white cast on my light olive skin tone and left me feeling very sticky. To the point that my hair actually stuck to my face. It’s water proof and is extremely hard to take off at the end of the day. I have to use a bar of soap to remove it then use my face wash. I really wanted to like this product but it’s not good if you have oily skin.
