Perfect Sunscreen Stick for Adventures and Beyond

So many things about this product make it amazing. I was originally attracted to the sleek plastic free style, making it super easy to fit in any on-the-go bag. I love the natural ingredients and the way it effortlessly blends into my skin. Love it!

Doing the little things

When I first saw Utu marketing the refillable stick tube got my attention. Throwing the plastic containers away drives me nuts and I use a lot of sunscreen. I live in Bend Oregon and spend as much time outside as possible:)
Having used the product for a month I love it. Feels great on, doesn’t run into my eyes. And it’s really effective! I’ve started showing it off to friends in a bordering on obnoxious way.
Now I want you to figure out how to recycle or refill the tubes so I can use more of the products 🙏🏼

Great sunscreen

I love this sunscreen! I first found it in Sag Harbor but am happy to be able to order online. The delivery was smooth, the sunscreens smooth with no white cast, and I love the plastic free packaging!

Looks good

I have the stick and the lotion. I’ve been applying both of them on my face and neck before I surf. I like the way they go on, it’s smooth , and I like the way they make my skin look.

Softens and hydrates

This sunscreen fees very thick going on, but my skin feels soft and well hydrated. There is a little bit of white cast that does seem to dissipate quickly. Overall, an excellent option for daily sunscreen.

Hero Ingredient

Non-Nano Zinz Oxide
Ever heard of non-nano zinc oxide? A true mineral sunscreen, non-nano zinc oxide is recognized by dermatologists as the most effective broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection. And that’s not all…Antimicrobial and non-comedogenic, it can help reduce redness, and help your skin regain its balance.

Non-nano means the particles are too large to absorb into your skin, instead providing a physical barrier between your cells and the sun’s rays. Talk about performance suncare. 

Hyaluronic Acid
