Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the sunbetter compact?

The stick offers the same high-level, 100% mineral protection but in a solid twist-up format that’s great for quick touch-ups and on-the-go use. The compact feels more like a priming makeup step, while the stick prioritizes speed and convenience.

Does it work well over makeup?

Yes. The transparent formula glides on without disturbing makeup, and the stick format allows for targeted application on high-exposure areas like the nose, cheeks, and forehead. Blending lightly with fingertips helps maintain a seamless finish.

Is it truly sheer on darker skin tones?

Absolutely. This formula is designed to apply invisibly, without the chalky or ashy finish that some mineral sunscreens leave behind. It’s dermatologist-tested and works beautifully across all skin tones.

When should I reapply during the day?

Reapply every two hours during sun exposure, and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. The stick format makes midday touch-ups effortless—no mirror or extra tools required.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. It’s fragrance free, paraben free, dye free, and cruelty free. The mineral, non-nano sunscreen actives are gentle enough for sensitive or post-procedure skin while still delivering robust environmental defense.

How to Use sunbetter SHEER SPF 56 Sunscreen Stick

  1. Use as the last step of your morning skincare regimen.
  2. Pull up to remove the cap and twist the bottom of the stick to reveal the product.
  3. Using gentle pressure, apply the product all over the face, neck, and décolleté, ensuring the entire surface of your skin is covered for optimal protection. Add additional layers for added coverage.
  4. To achieve the silky, sheer effect use your fingertips to blend in the product.
  5. Apply liberally and evenly 15 minutes before sun exposure.
  6. For storage, twist down on the product prior to applying the cap for airless closure which will help ensure the shelf life of your product.
  7. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours.
  8. Do not leave in hot temperatures for long periods of time as the stick may soften, making application less elegant (though not less effective).
