Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 — 1.5 oz Lightweight, Water-Resistant Broad-Spectrum Protection

Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 is a lightweight, no-mess stick that provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and water-resistant coverage for active outdoor days.

Designed for families and people on the move, this Neutrogena sunscreen stick combines high SPF defense with a compact, solid format that glides on for fast, even application. The oil-free formula absorbs quickly without a greasy finish and is formulated to resist water for up to 80 minutes, making it suited to swimming, sweating, or beach play. Keep it in your bag, cooler, or beach kit for touch-ups and easy sun protection anytime.

How does the stick format make application faster and cleaner?

The solid-stick design eliminates the need to squeeze or pour, so you avoid spills and sticky bottles. It applies directly to skin for precise coverage on face, ears, shoulders, and high-exposure spots.

• Direct glide-on application reduces waste and mess.
• Compact 1.5 oz size fits pockets and beach bags.
• Twist-up mechanism dispenses just enough product.
• Good for quick touch-ups at the water’s edge or during activities.

Is the formula suitable for active, water-based activities?

The sunscreen stick is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it stays on during swimming and sweating better than non–water-resistant lotions. It’s oil-free and designed to feel lightweight, making it comfortable during long days outdoors.

• Water-resistant up to 80 minutes for swimming and activity.
• Oil-free composition reduces shine and residue on skin.
• Absorbs quickly to avoid greasy or sticky feeling.
