New: our SPF50+ sun stick and its cardboard case!

Put a stop to sunburns with our new arrival, the sun stick SPF50+ specially designed to protect the face and lips. In this article, we invite you to discover the special features of this protective skincare product for all skin types that smells like monoi and vacations.

A protective sun stick with the sweet scent of vacation

Our sun stick SPF 50+ invites you to escape with its monoi fragrance, which is both floral and sweet with notes of vanilla and white flowers. Its texture is creamy, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly into the skin. To ensure its effectiveness while swimming, this product is water-resistant. Its complex of organic UV filters effectively protects against solar radiation. It is suitable for the face and body, as well as for all skin types. You can use it in addition to our other sun care products, notably our best-seller, the face and body sunscreen, as well as our organic after-sun lotion with a monoi scent.

When exposing yourself to the sun, it is necessary to protect yourself from the radiation responsible for skin cancers. It also promotes premature aging, including the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Applying sun care is, in a way, a health move, but also an anti-aging one. Applying a good quality sunscreen spray, lotion, fluid, or cream protects you from sunburn and helps you avoid all the unpleasantness of burns. This is provided you choose a sufficient index, like that of our transparent SPF 50+ sun stick.

In addition, it is also recommended to stay well hydrated by preferably drinking water and avoiding sun exposure between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM during the summer. This is when UV (ultraviolet) rays are at their most intense. When melanin is overexposed, it no longer filters UV rays. This is when a phenomenon of oxidative stress (the infamous sunburn) occurs, which accelerates the formation of free radicals. So tanning and getting a nice color is great, but it is better to do it safely and without burning.

Furthermore, when you choose a sun lotion, stick, or protective sunscreen, prioritize a cosmetic product whose packaging bears the UVA logo. Although it is not mandatory, it is highly recommended by the DGCCRF.

What are the advantages of the stick format for your sun products?

The advantage of the stick format is that you can easily slip it into a toiletry bag, a pouch, a backpack, or a beach bag, for example. With its travel-friendly format, it takes up no space in your luggage. Another major advantage is that there is no risk of it leaking and staining your personal belongings. It weighs fifteen grams, which is perfect when you need to travel extra-light. It is even lighter than most pairs of sunglasses.

A face and lip sun stick perfect for winter sports

In the mountains, the reflection of the sun on the snow and the altitude significantly increase the impact of UV rays on your skin. This is why using sun protection on your face is very important when you go on a winter sports trip. The Les Petits Prödiges sun stick accompanies you on the ski slopes. It allows for two-in-one use and offers you very high protection. You can apply it to both your lips and your face. It protects you from both UVA and UVB rays. This is ideal when you consider that ultraviolet reflection is stronger on snow (about 85%) than on sand (about 20%). The small size of this SPF 50+ stick is ultra-light and takes up no space. You can take it with you during the day for all your activities in the snow (skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, dog sledding, sledding, hiking...). Furthermore, if you tend to peel on your face at the end of your trip and the cold dries out your skin, we also recommend using our unscented magic balm. This product helps you repair the damage from the sun and cold. It is nourishing, soothing, moisturizing, and protects your skin.

An invisible SPF 50+ sun stick that does not whiten the skin

Sometimes creams leave white areas on the skin. And this is often the case when you choose a mineral sunscreen (depending on the brand). If you do not want to have a white face, we recommend our protective sun stick with a monoi fragrance. Because it melts into the skin and does not leave white streaks.

Once applied, the product is completely invisible on the face and lips. Similarly, this product is not a tinted sunscreen or a self-tanner. This sun stick protects and takes care of all skin types as well as all phototypes (light skin, olive skin, dark brown skin, black skin, etc.).

Furthermore, if you would like to know more about the composition of sun products, we invite you to consult this article. It gives you excellent advice on how to choose them better, as well as information to better understand how they work (organic filters, mineral filters).

At what age can you use the Les Petits Prödiges sun stick?

Its use is intended for the whole family, except for infants. This sun protection is suitable for children's sensitive skin. You can apply it on the faces of little ones from the age of 3.

Our vegan sun stick is ideal for children because it has a high protection factor (SPF 50+ UVA and UVB) and its composition is respectful. Moreover, it has obtained an excellent score on Yuka (100/100). But we must emphasize that this is not a baby sunscreen.
