    Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

    At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use Sun Stick on my face?

    Yes, it’s perfect for your face, especially areas prone to sunburn like the nose, lips, and eyelids. It’s invisible, non-greasy, and gentle enough for sensitive and reactive skin.

    How often should I reapply Sun Stick?

    We recommend reapplying every 2 hours, or more frequently if swimming or sweating – especially on high-exposure areas like the face and shoulders.

    Is it fragrance-free?

    Yes, it’s completely unscented and free from essential oils, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

    Does Sun Stick leave a white cast?

    No. The formula is invisible on all skin tones, and blends easily without any chalkiness.

    What does broad-spectrum mean?

    Where most SPF focuses on protecting skin from UVB rays, broad-spectrum describes sunscreens that provide protection against both UVB (which cause burning and can contribute to skin cancer) and UVA rays (which cause skin-ageing). Our entire sun care range provides broad-spectrum protection to effectively defend skin against all harmful UV rays and support long-term health and vitality.

    Is Sun Stick safe for babies and children?

    Yes, it’s suitable for babies aged 3 months+, making it an ideal choice for protecting delicate skin while out and about.

    What’s the difference between Tropic SPF products?

    Our sun protection range is designed to suit every skin need. Sun Day is a lightweight, broad-spectrum SPF that helps prevent daily UV damage and wears beautifully under makeup. For a touch of coverage, Skin Shade Tinted Facial Sun Cream offers SPF 50 protection and doubles as a sheer foundation.

    Great Barrier – a water-resistant, lightweight body lotion suitable for all skin tones – is your go-to for sunny days outdoors. Or, if your skin is particularly fair or sensitive, Skin Shade Sun Cream is a 100% mineral, sweat-resistant option that’s gentle yet effective.

    For on-the-go top-ups, Sun Stick glides on clear and can be used anywhere, anytime. And to keep delicate lips protected, Lip Shade combines broad-spectrum defence with deep conditioning care.

    Is the packaging recyclable?

    Yes, the Sun Stick packaging is recyclable. As part of our Infinite Purpose, we’re committed to reducing waste at every step.
