The media could not be loaded. We all love minis for our bag, and this fits perfectly in any pouch, purse, hip bag or toss it in your beach bag, backpack.We have several of these, so that we're never without it. I put one in a little pouch that I clip on to our beach bag, one on our boat bag, and one in my Lululemon hip bag (it fits and takes up so little room in your bag). My daughter keeps one in her school backpack for when they go to the park after school. We use it at theme parks, traveling, anywhere...It's so easy and quick to put on - it glides on smoothly, is not greasy, you don't even need a mirror, and nothing gets on your hands!Blue Lizard is an EXCELLENT quality sun block (check our EWG's rating, it's at the top every year- no cancer causing chemicals, clean product) and having the mini stick applicator has made it so easy to protect ourselves.It's a subscribe and save item for my familyWe'll be taking it to Europe with us in our purse/backpacks. Absolutely the easiest and least messy way to put on high quality safe sunblock on the go!

I have sensitive and dry skin so most common to find products are just way too harsh for my skin. I didn't want to go the chemical route as my face would feel like it was on fire if I was in the sun with those chemical sunscreens. I also didn't like that the chemical sunscreens were not reef friendly and endocrine disrupters. Since our skin is the biggest organ, whatever you slather on is going to get absorbed into the body and system--I try to minimize the risk.I knew I had to go the physical sunblock route and avoiding titanium oxide which isn't as safe as zinc oxide. Once you get all your requirements of what you want to avoid to stay healthy and safe (what's the point of sun protection to avoid burning and skin cancer but you end up getting other health issues by what you put on your skin anyways....defeats the purpose).I was looking for a sunblock that had at least 20% non-nano zinc oxide, small ingredient list, and water resistant. This sunblock checked all the boxes. Sure it is small but it makes it easier to keep in your purse so you can reapply it as needed. You definitely will look quite white but I solved that by mixing it with a tinted sunblock or you can put in some foundation as others do to reduce the mime/clown/dead person look. It lasted well and I was not burnt in full Florida sun-even with some sweat it didn't burn or go in my eyes and the little stick made it easy to apply when I did smear some off my face on accident. When it came time to wash my face off, even with my mild cleanser, I just needed to make sure I really got my soap frothy and gently massaged my face to get it all off. My face was not red or irritated and no burns so it's a win!There are a lot of sunscreens out there but with the chemicals that they use to 'absorb' the UVA/UVB rays...you are trading off for other health issues. So I know a lot of people prefer the chemical ones because they absorb better and blend in sheer but just remember that it is absorbing straight into your body and will give you other issues. There are enough additives and junk in everything else, let's be careful about what we put on our skin.

We absolutely love this kids' sunscreen stick! The ingredients are top-notch, giving us peace of mind knowing it's gentle and safe for sensitive toddler skin. It applies smoothly and evenly with just a small amount, so it lasts a long time. We especially appreciate how easy it is to use — no mess, no fuss. The compact size fits perfectly in a pocket, making it super convenient for on-the-go sun protection. Plus, it provides excellent sun protection without any irritation, even on our little one's delicate skin. A must-have for busy families!

This sunscreen stick is a great way to apply sunscreen to areas that are more likely to be missed like ears, neck, along the hair line, along the hair part etc., areas that need reapplying more often like tops of knees, shoulders, arms, hands, feet, cheeks etc; and great to apply near the eyes as it does not run.You are able to see where you have applied it as it goes on thick, you can rub it in to spread it around or leave as is. I leave as is when applying to my kids as I can then tell when I need to reapply. If you have a kid that wipes their eyes each time they come up from the water, this is a good option as it has real staying power.It will leave the skin with the mineral sunscreen white cast look which I don't mind as much as I mind a kid whining about being burnt. Safe for sensitive skin.Pro Tip: keep the top on when not applying and keep the stick in a plastic bag to avoid sand getting into the sunscreen. If sand does get onto the stick, you can easily wipe it off before using again. The sand does not feel all that great when smearing sunscreen on already tanned skin.

My husband bought this to take on a fishing trip. His said it is easy to apply and works well to protect from sun but does leave a noticeable white cast. I guess that is the trade off when using a physical sunscreen vs. a chemical sunscreen.

This is my favorite sunscreen for my face and my kids. It is my go to sure to work sunscreen. I know that I put this on my kids they will not burn. It’s nice to be have that assurance from a stable brand. It rubs in well and gives peace of mind.
