MDSolarSciences Tinted Solar Stick Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 — Sheer Matte Tint, Water-Resistant 0.6 oz

This lightweight, fragrance-free stick combines non-nano Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide with antioxidant vitamins to protect and nourish skin while leaving a smooth, matte, slightly tanned finish that blends into most skin tones. Designed for fast reapplication over face, lips, ears, nose and shoulders, the stick is water-resistant and formulated to avoid white cast so it can be worn alone or as a primer under makeup.

How does the tinted stick fit into my daily routine?

The slim, twist-up format makes this stick ideal for quick touch-ups during the day. Apply liberally to exposed areas at least 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours, or after 80 minutes of swimming or heavy sweating. Because it glides on smoothly and blends invisibly, it’s easy to use over makeup without disturbing coverage.

• Fast application to face, lips, ears, nose and shoulders
• Use as a primer for a matte, filter-like finish under makeup
• Reapply every two hours or after water exposure

What type of protection and ingredients are in this sunscreen?

This is a mineral (physical) sunscreen that relies on Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide to provide broad-spectrum UV protection. The formula is oil-free, fragrance-free, reef-safe and vegan, and includes Vitamins C and E to help support skin’s appearance. It’s formulated to minimize a white cast and to leave a smooth, even color that suits a wide range of complexions.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection with Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide
• Antioxidants: Vitamin C and Vitamin E for skin nourishment
• Reef-safe, vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, oil-free

Is the tinted finish suitable for all skin tones and uses?

The tint is intentionally sheer and designed to blend with many skin tones to create a subtle matte glow rather than a heavy color layer. It works well as a lightweight alternative to foundation or as a primer to even skin tone and reduce shine. Because it’s sheer and non-greasy, it’s suitable for daily wear and quick touch-ups during outdoor activities.

• Sheer matte tint for a natural, even finish
• Glides on without greasy residue or visible white cast
• Can be used alone or under makeup as a primer

How long does the protection last and how should I reapply?

The formula is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it should be reapplied after swimming, sweating, or toweling off. For continuous protection during sun exposure, reapply at least every two hours and after extended water exposure. Apply liberally to ensure adequate coverage—sticks are convenient for targeted areas and routine touch-ups.

• Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes
• Reapply every two hours or after swimming/sweating
• Apply liberally and evenly to exposed skin
