Octocrylene and Homosalate
Sadly the sunstick contains homosalate and octocrylene. These ingredients are suspected of causing cancer.

So good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start off by saying that I didn’t have any expectations when using this new super stick SPF 45. I live in California where it’s almost sunny Daily so I am very fourhuge at using SPF on my face and skin. This specific stick I used on my skin only. I also use makeup every day so I’m always scared to try new SPF’s afraid that it will disrupt my foundation setting. This did not do that! My foundation and powder is laid so beautifully over it. My favorite thing about this also is that it’s small and fits in my purse for reapplying if out on the sun for more than three hours. I’ve tried also to lay layer this over in my foundation and it also late nicely not disrupting my foundation much. Of course that’s my last resort if I’m out and about in the sun. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Amazing sunscreen for brown skin tone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear sunscreen on my face every day. I have dry skin and this sunscreen worked amazingly and left my dkin feeling hydrated and protected. The size is perfect for everyday use and travel. It easily fits in a purse, pocket, or carry-on. I really like that it comes in a solid stick with a twist-up dispenser similar to deodorant, which makes application quick and mess-free.There is a slight fragrance to it which i love and doesn’t bother me at all. The formula applies clear and glides on smoothly without needing to be to rub it into the skin . It isn't greasy, shiny, or sticky on the skin . I have sensitive skin and eyes, and I was happy that this sunscreen didn't cause any redness, eye burning, breakouts, or irritation. It feels lightly moisturizing, and I especially appreciate that it is dermatologist tested and contains coconut, aloe vera, and niacinamide. I love the packaging on this sunscreen. It applies so easily and effortlessly on the skin . Overall, I'm very impressed with this sunscreen and plan to continue using it daily. Note: I received this product as part of an educational promotion. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Vacation Super Stick
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I genuinely love the Vacation Super Stick. From the moment I picked it up, the packaging felt sleek, minimal, and luxe—something I actually want to keep in my bag. The stick itself glides on so smoothly without feeling greasy, heavy, or chalky, which is rare for sunscreen. It’s perfect for quick touch-ups and fits perfectly into my routine. I love how clean and effortless it feels on my skin, with no weird residue or shine. It makes sun protection feel easy and elevated instead of like a chore. I also appreciate how mess-free it is—no spills, no sticky hands, just swipe and go. That’s another feature I love. Most sunscreens come in a sticky, milky, cream form. As a person of color I can say this one is perfect! It’s truly become a staple I never leave home without, and I actually enjoy reapplying now. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Great performance but strongly scented
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great stick option, although I'm not sure I'd recommend for the face if you have sensitive skin as it is quite scented. I absolutely love the smell, it's a classic coconut sunscreen scent, but it's pretty strong if you're sensitive! That said, it's amazing for the body. It goes on sheer and non-greasy, I literally can't even tell where it was just a minute after applying it as it soaks in quickly and is dry to the touch without dragging or pilling. The finish is meant to be satin but it's extremely skin-like. My plan is to use this for my hands, because I hate having greasy hands and end up not putting sunscreen on them even when they need it. Super easy to apply straight from the stick, and easy to toss in a purse and go as it's small and the lid is secure. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

So convenient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As I get older I realize the importance of sunscreen and thankfully I was able to give the Vacation Inc Super Stick SPF 45 a try. I love how easy this sunscreen stick is to use. I use it in an upward motion to avoid pulling my skin and it works great. I don’t need to blend the sunscreen into my face after applying it which allows for a touch free application. There is no white cast, which is honestly something I worried about when I saw the white stick. The applicator is actually perfect, the narrow end allows for me to apply sunscreen to all the hard to reach areas and grooves. It leaves my skin felling hydrated, and I can apply my makeup on top with no issues. I love the packaging, it’s so tropical and retro, it literally makes me want to go on vacation. The size is perfect, I can easily keep it in my purse and it doesn’t take up much space. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.
