Thoughts: When I received this product, I was not too sure what to think. I have never used a stick as a sunscreen before.

Here's a closer look inside.

Here's a closer look at the stick. It's pulled all the way.

Here's a swatch on my hand.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while using. I just sniffed the product and it has a slight scent. It's so light you cannot distinguish the smell but you feel slight dryness. It's hard to explain but you feel something as you sniff. It doesn't smell bad at all or chemically. Secondly, I like the packaging. It kind of looks like a mini version of a deodorant stick but it isn't. It's simple and clean looking. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick plastic. The top is also sturdy. You can feel a tight seal when you open and close. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's easy to throw in your purse, bag, and even your pocket. It's also easy to hold with one hand. Third, the consistency is creamy and on the medium. It's not too thick that it's hard to absorb into the skin. It's also not too thin that it runs. It's a good consistency. If you do have dry skin, it will tug on the skin. If the skin isn't dry, it will go on smoothly. With that said, it's easy to use. It's the last step of my skin care routine before heading out. I slide the sunscreen stick all over the face and pat with my hand. You will see light whitish pink color disappear as it absorbs into the skin. It leaves a clear, smooth texture. You can feel the difference with and without the sunscreen. With the sunscreen, you feel a slight sticky texture that isn't really sticky. It just feels different and the slight stickiness will disappear after a few minutes. It's light-weight, not greasy, and extremely comfortable on the skin. If you don't like the feel of sunscreen, I think this is a good one. It's also doesn't leave a white cast on the face. Lastly, it lasts all day. You are supposed to reapply every two hours but I am lazy. I apply once in the morning and that's it. I am glad I got this product. This is a better sunscreen than derma e Natural Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 Baby. I had such a bad experience with that sunscreen from beginning to end. This one is really good but unfortunately, I could not find it on the website. It's either sold out or discontinued. I am thinking the second.
