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

This lightweight MDSolarSciences Solar Stick SPF 40 is a travel-friendly mineral sunscreen formulated to sit sheer on most skin tones while providing reliable UV protection. The creamy, non-greasy texture glides on without leaving a white cast and includes zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for physical sun defense. Antioxidants vitamin C and E help nourish skin, and the stick’s blendable tint creates a soft matte finish that reads like a subtle primer or a standalone light coverage for everyday wear.

How does the stick deliver broad-spectrum protection without a white cast?

The formula uses micronized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as mineral blockers that scatter UVA and UVB rays while being processed to avoid the chalky look typical of older mineral sunscreens. Lightweight emollients and tinting pigments help it melt into skin for an invisible finish.

• SPF 40 broad-spectrum coverage using zinc oxide + titanium dioxide
• Sheer universal tint that blends with most tones
• No white residue thanks to a creamy, melt-in texture

Yes—its solid format makes touch-ups fast and mess-free; the smooth glide allows application directly over foundation or bare skin. Carry it in a bag or pocket for sun protection anytime without disturbing your makeup finish.

• Portable 0.6 oz stick for convenient reapplication
• Glides on smoothly atop makeup without streaking
