Tips to get the most out of your Sport Stick.
- 1.
Take it anywhere! The easy-to-apply stick format makes this a great companion for outdoor activities and sports--from the court to the beach, pool or playground.
Pro Tip: You can also use it on lips!
- 2.
As with any stick sunscreen, be sure not to leave your Sport Stick in hot temperatures for an extended period of time as the formula may soften and lose its shape (though it won't lose its effectiveness).
- 3.
The Sport Stick glides on white so you can easily see where you're applying (and make sure you're getting enough), but it blends easily and invisibly into skin.

FAQs
Sport Stick is best applied before makeup. If you are looking for a sunscreen product to apply over makeup, we recommend our Total Protection™ Brush-on Shield SPF 50. This powder applies nicely over makeup for easy reapplication throughout the day and provides, not only sun defense; but pollution defense.
Yes, Sport Stick blends invisibly with a dry-touch finish so makeup can be worn on top if preferred.
No. You can choose to use Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield or Sport Stick as both provide sun and pollution protection, and have SPF 50. However, the Sport Stick may be more convenient to apply and reapply during outdoor activities or sports as Sport Stick SPF 50 is water/sweat resistant up to 80 minutes, while Face Shield is water/sweat resistant up to 40 minutes.
Glide Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Sport Stick SPF 50 directly onto skin. To ensure complete and even coverage, generously glide the stick across the forehead, cheeks, bridge of nose, and chin. Then, using fingertips, blend outward for sheer coverage without the white cast.
Yes, Sport Stick can be applied onto lips. In addition, for protection with added color, Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Color Balms are available in 3 shades- blush, berry, and bronze for use on lips and cheeks. Color Balms and Sport stick are formulated with jojoba esters and plant-based squalane to provide comforting hydration and healthier-looking skin.
Yes, Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Sport Stick SPF 50 is water/sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes.
Sport Stick SPF 50 should not be stored in a vehicle as the temperature inside a car can become excessively high. Avoid frequent or long-term direct exposure to sun and heat. Store at room temperature. When outdoors, such as the beach or pool, try to avoid leaving out in direct sunlight by keeping in a bag or in the shade.
This will vary based on usage.
Yes, Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Sport Stick SPF 50 includes ingredients such as jojoba esters and squalane to provide nourishing hydration to soften and smooth skin texture.
No, unlike other mineral SPF products, Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Sport Stick SPF 50 was expertly formulated to blend in sheer, leaving no white cast for all skin tones.
UVB exposure causes redness or burning, while UVA exposure causes skin darkening/pigmentation. Protection from both UVA and UVB means this product provides Broad Spectrum protection.

Total Protection™ Sheer Matte SPF 30 Sunscreen Brush provides Broad Spectrum SPF030 (UVB protection) and PA+++ (UVA protection). Total Protection™ Sport Stick SPF 50 provides Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA++++ (UVA protection). All Total Protection™ Face Shields SPF 50 in Classic, Matte, Flex, Glow, and Bronze provide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA++++ (UVA protection). Total Protection™ Body Shields SPF 50 in Classic and Bronze provide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA++++ (UVA protection). Total Protection™ Color Balms SPF 50 in Blush, Berry, and Bronze provide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA++++ (UVA protection).
The PA rating system measures the level of protection from UVA rays, which are known to cause pigment darkening in the skin. It measures the amount of time a product would protect your skin from darkening.
The following shows how much protection each PA score provides compared to unprotected skin. If your unprotected skin normally darkens/pigments after 5 min of UVA exposure:
PA Rating | Level of Protection | Total # of min before experiencing skin darkening/pigmentation
PA+ 2-4 times 10-20 minutes
PA++ 4-8 times 20-40 minutes
PA+++ 8-16 times 40-80 minutes
PA++++ >16 times >80 minutes
Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50 has a PA++++ rating.
Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50 has a PA++++ rating, the highest level of protection from UVA exposure.
EnviroScreen® Technology is proprietary to Colorescience®. EnviroScreen® Technology uses patented active ingredients, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, that create a barrier preventing free radical formation and oxidative stress. These patented actives are combined with specialty ingredients that, together, work synergistically to protect skin from damage caused by exposure to UVA/UVB rays, pollution, blue light (also known as High Energy Visible, or HEV, light), and infrared radiation.
Colorescience® follows the FDA guidelines for testing water resistance or adherence to the skin after exposure to water. A panel of 10 people apply the product to their skin prior to being immersed in a whirlpool (of moving or circulating water) for 20-minute cycles. After 20 minutes in the whirlpool, panelists exit the whirlpool before immersing themselves again. For 40 minutes water resistance, panelists are immersed in the water for two 20-minute cycles. For 80 minutes water resistance, this is done a total of 4 times. After all cycles are completed, the SPF that is remaining on the skin is measured. If after 80 minutes in the whirlpool, the SPF remaining is at least 50, the result is an SPF 50 with 80 minutes of water resistance.
We measure our pollution protection by directly measuring free radicals created from UV + pollution events on unprotected skin and skin protected with Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Brush-on Shield SPF 50 and Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50. We use a testing technique called electron spin resonance (ESR) that uses a combination of a magnetic field and electron magnetic waves to directly detect the unpaired electrons of free radicals.
Blue (HEV) light protection is tested by measuring the ability of the formula to block light in the HEV spectrum that would otherwise reach the skin. In practice, this is done by applying the formula to a transparent substrate at the same dose level (2mg/cm2) used in the FDA Monograph SPF test. The substrate is then placed at the entrance of an integrating sphere detector which captures all the light passing through the sample. This configuration is the same as that used in the FDA Monograph Critical Wavelength measurement and mimics the situation of a formula applied to the skin. The percentage of HEV light blocked is calculated by comparing the intensity of the light transmitted through the formula to the incident light at each wavelength throughout the HEV spectrum (400–490 nm).
All Total Protection® products use only all-mineral zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide which are the only sunscreen active ingredients recognized as safe and effective by the FDA.
Per FDA recommendation as well, our Total Protection® products are safe to apply to children 6 months and older. For use on children under 6 months of age, please consult your physician.
While all Total Protection® products are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin and children above 6 months, young children and babies have especially delicate skin which is why we recommend the below, our most soothing all-mineral formulas, to protect their skin.
- Total Protection® No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
- Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Sheer Matte SPF 30 Sunscreen Brush
- Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Body Shield Classic SPF 50
For teens and young adults, our Total Protection® Face Shield SPF 50 collection is a fan favorite for all-mineral, tinted formulas that can be mixed and matched to customize your protection. Please note, however, that all Total Protection® Face Shield SPF 50 formulas contain 2% niacinamide. While niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is known to help soothe skin, aid the skin barrier, and balance sebum production, it can lead to irritation for those with an allergy. For this reason, we recommend a patch test on a small area of skin before applying directly to the face.
