Project Reef Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 — 0.5 oz Compact, Reef-Safe Zinc Oxide, Water-Resistant

Project Reef SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Stick is a compact, reef-safe zinc-oxide sunscreen in a 0.5 oz twist-up stick designed for quick, water-resistant sun protection on face and body.

Whether you’re paddling out, hiking coastal trails, or packing light for travel, this portable mineral stick combines broad-spectrum SPF 50 coverage with formulations that meet Hawaii Reef Act 104. Its non-nano zinc oxide base provides mineral sun filtering without harmful chemical UV absorbers, and the solid-stick format makes application tidy, fast, and ideal for on-the-go reapplication.

How does this stick protect skin during ocean and water activities?

The formula relies on non-nano zinc oxide, a physical blocker that sits on the skin’s surface to scatter and reflect UV rays. It’s water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, letting you swim, surf, or paddleboard without immediate breakdown of protection when used as directed.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 mineral protection
• Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes
• Non-nano zinc oxide—no chemical UV filters
• Compliant with Hawaii Reef Act 104 environmental standards

Is the Project Reef stick easy to apply and carry during active days?

The twist-up stick dispenses solid sunscreen for targeted, mess-free application to face and body. Its compact 0.5 oz size fits pockets, small dry bags, or a surf leash pouch, so quick touch-ups are simple between sessions.

• Twist base for controlled coverage
• Glides smoothly to avoid streaks
• Ideal for face, nose, ears, lips, and localized spots
• Pocket-sized and TSA-friendly for travel

What’s the best way to apply for even, long-lasting coverage?

Extend a small amount of stick and apply in sections, then rub in circular motions to blend the mineral fully into skin. Reapply at least every two hours and immediately after towel drying or extended water exposure for continued protection.

• Apply directly and spread in sections
• Rub in thoroughly for even coverage
• Reapply every 2 hours or after 80 minutes in water
• Use additional sunscreen on high-exposure areas

What environmental and ingredient standards does this sunscreen meet?

Project Reef is formulated with vegan-friendly, ocean-conscious ingredients that avoid oxybenzone and octinoxate—chemicals restricted by Hawaii Reef Act 104. The non-nano zinc oxide provides mineral protection while minimizing environmental impact compared with some chemical sunscreens.

• Vegan and free from common harmful reef chemicals
• Non-nano zinc oxide mineral filter
• Designed to meet Hawaii Reef Act 104 criteria
• Compact packaging reduces waste from bulky bottles

Who is this for? Active outdoor enthusiasts, travelers, and responsible ocean-goers who want reliable SPF 50 mineral protection in a small, easy-to-use format. It’s well suited for surfers, swimmers, hikers, parents packing a quick sun-care option for kids, and anyone seeking reef-compliant sunscreen that’s simple to reapply between adventures. Keep it in your day pack, beach bag, or pocket for fast coverage whenever the sun’s out.
