Product details

A Hyaluronic Acid Airy Sun Stick on a glossy white table in soft light between a white feather, an ice cube and a glass sphere

Sun + moisture

SPF50+ PA++++ in a feather-light, water-based sun stick with eight types of hyaluronic acid, for easy top-ups anywhere.

Isntree’s Airy Sun Stick is built on a moisture essence base rather than the usual oily one, so it glides on moist and sets fresh, with no sticky feel or white cast. A cooling blend of botanicals soothes sun-heated skin, and the compact stick slips into a pouch for reapplying through the day.

    Ice plant, bamboo water, kelp, aloe, yam root and pine bark make up Isntree’s cooling synergy, for a fresh, soothing feel on sun-heated skin.

    No. 19, 20, 21, 26, 28, 30 of 49 on the list

  • Niacinamide + adenosine

    Brightening and wrinkle-care ingredients, so the stick does a little skincare too.

How to use

The last step of your morning routine

  1. 1

    Moisturize

    Finish your usual skincare first.

  2. 2

    Twist

    Turn the dial at the bottom to raise the stick.

  3. 3

    Glide

    Spread it evenly over the skin. The narrow tip fits the nose and between the brows, the wide side covers the forehead, cheeks and body.

  4. 4

    Reapply

    Top up whenever you need sun protection. Isntree says it won’t clump, even over makeup.

A soft white feather and a few water droplets on a pale blue surface

Light as a feather, wherever you go

Moist, fresh sun protection in a stick small enough to carry, for top-ups from the commute to a day outdoors.

  • Best for oily and combination skin that finds sunscreen greasy, per Isntree.
  • Cruelty free, with a carton made from recycled green tea paper and printed with soy ink, per Isntree.
  • 22 g stick.
