Multi-Functional Sunscreen Sticks

MDSolarSciences Has Developed a Versatile Sunscreen Stick

— June 15, 2021 — Fashion
The lives of contemporary consumers, especially those in urban environments, are faced paced and dynamic, and this is why portable and versatile sunscreen sticks are always a strong necessity. Luckily, MDSolarSciences offers a truly multi-functional product in this category—the Mineral Solar Stick SPF 40. Dubbed "essential for an active lifestyle," this product can be applied anywhere, including lips, cheeks, nose, forehead, ears, hands, shoulders, and etc. In addition to this, the clear formula is "universally flattering with a matte finish" and, as a result, one can use it as a makeup primer.

The versatile sunscreen stick is optimized for all skin types (combination, dry, normal, oily, and sensitive), as well as for all skintones. Once on, the Mineral Solar Stick SPF 40 provides protection and reduces the risk of photo aging and skin cancer.
