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

A protective sunscreen stick with the sweet scent of holidays

Our sunscreen stick SPF 50+ invites you to escape with its monoi scent, both floral and sweet with notes of vanilla and white flowers. Its texture is creamy, non-greasy, and quickly absorbed by the skin. To ensure its effectiveness during 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, including our best-seller, the face and body sunscreen cream, as well as our organic after-sun lotion with a monoi scent.

To expose yourself to the sun, it is necessary to protect yourself from radiation, which is responsible for skin cancers. They also promote premature aging, including the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Applying sun care is, in a way, a gesture for your health, but also an anti-aging gesture. Applying a good quality sun spray, lotion, fluid, or cream protects you from sunburn and avoids all the discomfort of burns. But on condition that you choose a sufficient index like that of our transparent sunscreen stick SPF 50+.

In addition, it is also recommended to stay well hydrated by drinking water preferably and to avoid exposure between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. during the summer. This is because during this time slot, UV (ultraviolet) rays are most intense. When melanin is overexposed, it no longer filters UV rays. This is where oxidative stress occurs (the famous sunburn), which accelerates the formation of free radicals. So tanning and getting a nice color is great, but it's better to do it safely and without burning.

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

What are the advantages of the stick format for your sun protection 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 nomadic format, it takes up no space in 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's even lighter than most pairs of sunglasses. 

A facial and lip sunscreen stick perfect for winter sports

In the mountains, the reflection of the sun on the snow and the altitude considerably 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 winter sports. Les Petits Prödiges sunscreen stick accompanies you on the ski slopes. It offers a two-in-one use and provides very high protection. You can apply it to both your lips and your face. It protects you from both UVA and UVB. This is ideal when you know that UV reflection is stronger on snow (around 85%) than on sand (around 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, tobogganing, hiking...). Moreover, if at the end of your stay your face tends to peel and if the cold dries out your skin, we also advise you to use our fragrance-free magic balm. This product helps you repair the damage caused by the sun and cold. It is nourishing, soothing, moisturizing, and protects your skin. 

An invisible SPF 50+ sunscreen stick that doesn't whiten the skin

Sometimes creams leave white areas on the skin. And this is often the case when choosing a mineral sunscreen (depending on the brand). If you don't want a white face, we recommend our protective sunscreen stick with a monoi scent. Because it melts into the skin and leaves no white marks.

Once applied, the product is totally invisible on the face and lips. This product is neither a tinted sunscreen nor a self-tanner. This sunscreen stick protects and cares for all skin types and all phototypes (fair skin, olive skin, dark brown skin, black skin...).

Moreover, if you want to know more about the composition of sun protection 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). 

From what age can Les Petits Prödiges sunscreen stick be used?

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

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