The Natural Sunscreen SPF 30 Stick boasts an eco-friendly, non-nano mineral zinc oxide formula that is rich in antioxidants from Vitamin C and [green tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antioxidantrich-sun-care). Unlike many on the market, this sunscreen product is touted as [reef-safe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saltyface-daily-sun-shield-mineral-sunscreen), hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, as well as one that will leave the skin feeling "enriched and protected" from UVA and UVB rays. A growing number of consumers are turning to personal care products in a [solid stick format](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multi-guard-stick-spf-50), as these packages have the potential to eliminate messy spills and be instantly travel-ready.
