EltaMD UV Stick Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+

The EltaMD UV Stick Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ is a 100% mineral sunscreen stick formulated with zinc oxide and antioxidant protection for effortless on-the-go reapplication. Its glide-on stick format makes daily sun protection foolproof - swipe across face, ears, hairline, and high-exposure areas without the mess of a lotion or the inhalation risks of a spray. The non-greasy, water-resistant (80 minutes) formula is dermatologist-tested and ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, and post-procedure skin.

At Le Petit Spa in Charlotte, NC, our estheticians keep the EltaMD UV Stick in every treatment room and recommend it as the easiest sunscreen to actually reapply throughout the day - the #1 reason most clients fail at sun protection. Whether you're on the golf course, at the beach, or running errands, this stick fits in any pocket or purse and reapplies cleanly over makeup.

FAQ

Is the UV Stick enough coverage on its own, or just for touch-ups?
It can be used as a standalone facial sunscreen when applied generously and evenly, and it's also ideal for midday touch-ups over makeup.

Is it reef-safe?
Yes - it uses a 100% mineral (zinc oxide) formula rather than chemical UV filters associated with reef damage.

Can it be applied over makeup?
Yes, the stick format is designed for easy touch-ups directly over makeup without disturbing your look.

Is it safe for sensitive or post-procedure skin?
Yes - its 100% mineral, fragrance-free formula is well-suited for sensitive, reactive, and post-procedure skin.

How much should I apply for full SPF 50+ protection?
Glide on generously with multiple passes until an even layer covers all exposed skin - a light swipe will under-protect.

Does it leave a white cast?
It's formulated to blend in without a heavy white residue, though mineral sunscreens can leave a light cast on deeper skin tones if under-blended.
