HOW TO USE IT

How to get a smooth, comfortable mineral barrier.

  1. Glide onto exposed areas

    Apply directly to clean, dry skin, focusing on cheeks, nose, lips, ears, neck and other high-exposure spots.

  2. Blend thoroughly

    Use fingertips to spread an even, visible layer into a smooth natural finish.

  3. Reapply and layer protection

    Reapply after swimming, sweating, toweling or extended exposure, and use hats, shade and UV-protective clothing.

Pro tips from the hive

Coverage matters: a thin swipe provides less coverage, so apply an even layer and reapply often.

High-exposure areas: give extra attention to nose, ears, lips, cheekbones and the back of hands.

Sun-smart routine: Protect has no assigned SPF rating; combine it with shade, hats and protective clothing.

WORKS BEST WITH

Build a simple outdoor-care ritual.

Moisturize, then apply Protect as your final skincare layer before outdoor exposure. Reapply as conditions require.

Great protection for very sensitive skin

I have really sensitive skin and get patches of contact dermititis on my neck/colarbone area from products with artificial ingredients or too much fragrance. Some sunscreens that work great on my face do not work on that area without irritation. The protection stick is perfect. I use it all over and have no skin issues. The wand is handy to carry in a purse or small tote and when it gets down to the end, a little plastic skincare spatula will get out every last bit to use with finger application. I've repurchased MANY of these.
