Application & Texture

Pros:

  • "Does not feel greasy."
  • "So easy to put on, smells nice, and doesn’t burn the eyes when you sweat."
  • "This is my kids favorite sunscreen for their bodies because they can apply it themselves and get good coverage."
  • "It's just so easy to put on all over my body. So much better than lotions!"
  • "The sunscreen stick is easy to apply and provides excellent protection from the sun's harmful UV rays."
  • "I love the stick design because it really helps to avoid getting sunscreen in your eyes like lotions or sprays."
  • "This sunscreen stick is THE BEST!! My son & I go to the pool at least 4 times a week. This one goes on clearly, doesn’t leave a white residue."

Cons:

  • "I didn't like the feeling of the stick sunscreen on the face. It feels very heavy on the face and very shiny and sticky even after an hour or more."
  • "It has a nice smell to it and works well too but what I dislike is that you feel a 'layer' on top of your skin. Oily layer."
  • "Mineral sunscreen can leave a white cast, and though it's minimal it means I need a mirror to apply it."
  • "This stuff is just awkward to use and is a bit sticky."
  • "But it's much slimier and makes my face sweat profusely."
  • "It’s also very tedious to apply which I suppose I should have expected."
  • "It is also too oily, it's like you put a thick layer of olive oil on your skin."

Scent

Pros:

  • "It works really well, smells great, and I am very very pleased with this product."
  • "Omg, finally a clean good smelling and easy to transport sunscreen!"
  • "It smells so good."
  • "Has a pleasant and not overwhelming scent."
  • "It smells great and has a nice texture."
  • "Love the light beachy scent; feel instant relaxation when putting it on."
  • "The sunscreen has a light, pleasant scent."

Cons:

  • "This product also has a strong scent where the other did not."
  • "Scent: big obstacle for me. I'm a dude and with this product, I feel like I am wearing potpourri on my face."
  • "I'm sure that this is a fine product and protects against the sun, but I can't get past the awful smell. It smells like bug spray."
  • "Also it has a much stronger scent."
  • "This one had such a small fragrant smell it was hard to want to put back in myself or my kids."
  • "It went on nice and smooth but the smell was overpowering."
  • "Super greasy and has a icky smell. Also cannot apply on face because the stick is so hard it’s uncomfortable."

Travel-Friendly & TSA Compliant

Pros:

  • "Believe it’s TSA friendly (doesn’t have to fit in that small bag)."
  • "Loved that this bypassed the liquids limit when flying, and it's pretty compact and easy to fit in a purse, fanny pack, or pocket while exploring or traveling."
  • "Since it was a solid I didn't have to include it in my quart size bag."
  • "This is also something you can take on the plane without having to worry about the no liquid rule."
  • "Heading out on an airplane and I'm not checking in a bag. I do not have to include this in the TSA liquid bag."
  • "If you want to have fewer items in your quart sized check on, this is it! The stick is not a liquid!"
  • "It's nice too that it's a stick so there's no concern with TSA liquids regulations."

Cons:

  • "The packaging is deceptive."
  • "The cap gets jammed with product both times."
  • "Decent product design, but if it gets warm and you pull off the cap, half the product gets stuck in the cap."
  • "It arrived broken with like half the product smushed in the cap."
  • "My only complaint is when it gets close to the end of the stick, it gets mushy and stuck and malfunctions."
  • "This stuff works well, goes on easily, etc, but the packaging is deceptive."
  • "Only downside was it goes a bit soft so can become messy."
