What it is
The SPF you'll actually reapply.
Broad-spectrum mineral SPF50 in a tinted stick small enough for a back pocket. It glides on without a white cast, suits sensitive areas, and makes reapplying at lunch, on the school run or halfway up a hill feel like nothing. It smells softly of aloe, white florals and vanilla.

The SPF I actually reapply
Lives in my coat pocket. Reapplied at lunch, on the school run, at the park. No white cast thanks to the tint.

A swipe on my nose and ears before every ride. Doesn't run into my eyes and doesn't feel greasy.
Ravi, Birmingham · Oily skinVerified buyer
Smells like a holiday
Vanilla and white florals, glides on smoothly. Takes a little more blending on very dry days.

Questions
Before you ask
Anything else: a real person answers, usually within the hour.
Does it leave a white cast?
The tint, from iron oxides, softens it, so it blends to a natural finish on most skin.
Can I use it on my body?
Yes: face, ears, nose, neck, shoulders, the backs of your hands. It was made to travel.
When will it arrive?
Every order is made for you, which takes two working days, and then arrives in four to seven working days in the UK. Delivery is free over £45.
Can I send it back?
Yes, within 60 days, even opened. Write to us and we will tell you how; the refund goes back to the card you paid with.
What is the sample?
Every order brings a small sample from the range, chosen to go with what is in your bag.
How does it go with the rest?
Wash, then vitamin C, then sun protection. The set on this page puts them in your bag together, for less than buying them singly.
What does COSMOS mean?
COSMOS is an independent standard for natural and organic cosmetics: it checks where every ingredient comes from and how the formula is made.
