INCIA Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ With Mineral Filters

The INCIA Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ is INCIA's natural sun protection in a twist-up stick, so you can apply it properly without sticky hands and without a bottle leaking through your bag. It lives happily in a handbag, coat pocket or beach bag, and it is the easiest way we know to reapply on a wriggling child's face, on the school run, on a hike, at the beach or on the slopes.

It protects using mineral filters only: non-nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which sit on the surface of the skin and reflect UV light rather than being absorbed. That makes the stick a sensible choice for the most delicate areas, around the lips, eyes and nose, and for skin that is easily irritated. While it protects, shea butter, olive oil and calendula nourish and soften. SPF 50+ broad spectrum, UVA and UVB, in a 15g stick.

How to use

Apply generously to clean, dry skin about 15 minutes before you go out in the sun, so it can settle. Glide the stick over face, ears, nose, lips, neck and the backs of the hands, then blend with your fingertips and check for missed patches. Reapply at least every 2 hours, and always straight after swimming, towelling or heavy sweating. Use shade, a hat and covered shoulders too: no sunscreen blocks 100% of UV.

Ingredients

The UV filters are mineral only: non-nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which form a protective layer on top of the skin and reflect the sun's rays rather than penetrating it.

• Shea butter: rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, for deep hydration.
• Olive oil: supports the skin barrier with vitamin E and natural antioxidants.
• Calendula (marigold) and St John's Wort oils: traditionally soothing botanicals for skin that looks red or sun sensitive.
• Sunflower wax: helps prevent moisture loss and keeps skin supple.

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for babies and very sensitive skin?
It is 100% natural, dermatologically tested and uses mineral filters only, so it suits all skin types including the most sensitive. Babies under six months are best kept out of direct sunlight altogether rather than relying on sunscreen.

Why mineral filters rather than chemical ones?
Mineral filters stay on the surface as a protective layer and reflect UV light, which makes them a gentle option for delicate areas such as lips, eyes and nose, and for reapplying on children.

How often do I need to reapply?
At least every 2 hours in the sun, and immediately after swimming, towelling or sweating heavily. The stick makes that quick, which is the point of the format.

Can I really use it on my lips?
Yes. It is safe for lips and face and was developed for exactly those spots, so take it over the lip line, the nose and the tops of the ears.
