Coral Safe Reef Safe Mineral Sunscreen Face Stick SPF 50 — 0.5 oz TSA-Friendly, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide, Water-Resistant

Coral Safe Reef Safe Mineral Sunscreen Face Stick SPF 50 is a compact, biodegradable, non-nano zinc oxide stick that offers high-SPF, water-resistant protection for face and sensitive areas while meeting Hawaii and Mexico reef-safe rules.

This pocket-sized 0.5 oz stick is built for ocean lovers, travelers, and outdoor athletes who want strong mineral sun protection without oxybenzone or octinoxate. Formulated in the USA with zinc oxide and vitamin E, the creamy solid glides on discreetly, resists water for up to 80 minutes, and is designed to be gentle on marine environments. Its TSA-friendly size makes it convenient for flights and day trips, and the no-whitecast promise means it’s suitable for light cosmetic use under hats or makeup.

How does this face stick protect my skin during water activities?

The stick uses non-nano zinc oxide to physically block UV rays, creating a reflective barrier on the skin’s surface. It’s rated SPF 50 and maintains effectiveness for up to 80 minutes in water, so it’s a practical option for swimming, snorkeling, and beach sports when reapplied on schedule.

• Mineral-based UV protection with non-nano zinc oxide
• 80-minute water resistance for repeat exposures
• Opaque, easy-to-apply texture for nose, cheeks, and ears
• Reef-safe formulation approved for Hawaii and Mexico

Will this sunscreen leave a white cast or feel greasy?

The stick is formulated to minimize the white cast common with mineral sunscreens, spreading into a thin, matte-feel layer that’s less greasy than many creams. It’s concentrated, so a light, even swipe covers facial zones without heavy residue, making it user-friendly for those who dislike thick lotions.

• Concentrated solid formula for precise application
• Lightweight finish suitable under hats or makeup
• Non-greasy, quick-to-set texture for active use

Is this travel-friendly and compliant with airline rules?

Yes — the 0.5 oz size is TSA-approved for carry-on luggage and fits easily into pockets, beach bags, or small toiletry kits. Because it’s a solid stick, there’s no liquid risk at security, and the compact design helps with on-the-go reapplication.

• 0.5 oz solid stick fits carry-on limits
• No spill risk compared with liquid sunscreens
• Twist-up packaging for quick touch-ups outdoors

What ingredients are used and how eco-conscious is the formula?

The formulation centers on non-nano zinc oxide and vitamin E, avoiding oxybenzone and octinoxate, ingredients linked to coral stress. Coral Safe designs this stick to be biodegradable and approved for sensitive marine areas, while being made in the USA with simplified, reef-friendly components.

• Non-nano zinc oxide as the active mineral blocker
• Vitamin E for antioxidant support to skin surface
• Free from oxybenzone and octinoxate; biodegradable base
• Made in the USA to quality and safety standards
