Neutrogena Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 — 1.5 oz Travel Size, Zinc Oxide Dry-Touch No White Residue

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Stick is a compact, vegan, 100% mineral zinc oxide formula that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection for face and body with a dry-touch, no-white-residue finish.

This travel-ready 1.5 oz stick blends high-concentration zinc oxide (21.6%) with vitamin E to provide everyday sun defense in a solid, easy-to-apply format. The fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture was designed for sensitive skin and for people who want a mineral-based sunscreen that won’t leave a chalky film. It’s water-resistant up to 80 minutes and free from fragrances, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil, and animal testing, making it suitable for many skin-care routines and outdoor activities.

How will this stick fit into my daily routine?

Apply the stick to clean, dry skin before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours or after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. Because it’s a solid format, it’s quick to use—no need to rub in large quantities—and convenient to carry in a bag, pocket, or gym kit.

• Fast, mess-free application — glide across face and body.
• Compact 1.5 oz size — TSA-friendly and portable.
• Reapply every two hours or after water exposure for continued protection.
• Suitable for touch-ups over makeup or bare skin.

Will it leave a white cast on my skin?

This mineral stick is formulated for minimal white residue compared with many traditional zinc products. It has a dry-touch finish meant to absorb without an oily sheen and to blend more readily on most skin tones when applied and rubbed lightly with fingertips.

• 21.6% zinc oxide provides mineral protection with reduced chalkiness.
• Dry-touch technology avoids greasy surface feel.
• Gently buffing after application improves blendability on the face.
• Test a small area first if you have very deep skin tones for best final appearance.

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, which reduces common irritants and helps prevent pore clogging. Neutrogena positions this stick for sensitive skin, and it excludes parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and mineral oil—ingredients some people avoid when managing irritation or breakouts.

• Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic — less likely to irritate or clog pores.
• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation.
• Vitamin E added for lightweight moisturization without heaviness.
• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 offers high UV protection suitable for daily exposure.

How does it perform during water activities or exercise?

This stick is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it appropriate for short swims, sweat-inducing workouts, or active outdoor chores. For prolonged water exposure or heavy sweating, plan to reapply as directed to maintain SPF coverage.

• Water-resistant up to 80 minutes — good for brief aquatic activities.
• Solid-stick format stays neat in bags and pockets during activities.
• Easy to reapply without needing lotion dispensers or sinks.
• Ideal for gardening, hiking, biking, boating, and everyday outdoor use.

Who is this for? This Neutrogena mineral sunscreen stick suits people who want robust SPF 50 mineral protection in a portable, no-fuss format—especially those with sensitive or acne-prone skin who prefer fragrance-free, cruelty-free, and vegan products. It’s designed for anyone who needs quick touch-ups on the go, prefers a dry-touch finish, and values a product that’s compliant with Hawaii Act 104.
