Neutrogena Beach Defense Kids Sunscreen Stick SPF 60+ — Travel 1.5 oz, Clear No-Mess, Water-Resistant

Neutrogena Beach Defense Kids Sunscreen Stick SPF 60+ is a compact, hands-free stick that delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection for kids' face and body with clear, no-mess application.

Designed for families on the go, this travel-sized sunscreen stick offers a quick way to reapply high-SPF protection during outdoor play, beach days, and water activities. The formula glides on smoothly, dries clear, and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. It also meets Hawaii Reef Act 104 requirements by excluding oxybenzone and octinoxate, making it a convenient option for destinations with reef-protection rules.

How easy is it to apply on kids during busy outdoor activities?

The stick format keeps application clean and fast — no squeezing, rubbing, or spilled lotion. Kids can be coated quickly so they return to play sooner, and the clear finish avoids the white cast sometimes associated with high-SPF products.

• Hands-free glide-on design for quick touch-ups
• Clear, non-greasy finish that won’t leave a visible residue
• Travel-friendly 1.5 oz size fits in beach bags and backpacks

What level of sun protection does this stick provide?

This product delivers SPF 60+ broad-spectrum defense designed to help reduce UVB sunburn and provide UVA protection. Helioplex technology contributes to stable protection during extended outdoor exposure, while the water-resistant formula holds up through swimming and active play for up to 80 minutes.

• High SPF 60+ for strong UVB protection
• Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB coverage with Helioplex technology
• Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes—suitable for swimming and sweating

Is this formulation gentle and safe for kids’ skin?

The stick is formulated specifically for children, with a lightweight texture and no PABA. It includes antioxidant vitamins C and E to help support skin’s appearance, and it’s free of oxybenzone and octinoxate to comply with Hawaii Reef Act 104. Always perform a patch test if your child has very sensitive skin.

• Specially formulated for children with a lightweight feel
• PABA-free and includes vitamins C and E
• Oxybenzone- and octinoxate-free to meet specified reef-safety rules

How should I use and store the stick for best results?

Apply generously before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours, or after 80 minutes of swimming or heavy sweating, and after towel drying. Keep the cap on when not in use and store in a cool place to preserve texture and performance during travel.

• Apply before sun exposure and reapply regularly, especially after water play
• Use on both face and body; avoid direct contact with eyes
• Store with cap on and avoid prolonged heat to maintain consistency
