    Compact formats, transparent textures… Sunscreen sticks are key products that protect your face, body, and sensitive areas – nose, lips, ears, scars, scalp, moles… They leave an invisible, yet powerful and effective protective veil on the areas the most exposed. Their melt-in formula blends seamlessly into the skin without leaving any trace or greasy finish. Featuring high-performance and broad-spectrum UVA/UVB filters, they are resistant to water, heat, and sweat. Handy and discreet, you can slip them in your pocket or handbag and bring them everywhere with you.
