A colour-correcting SPF30 stick with ceramides, in a shade made for golden and medium-brown skin.
The mineral filter is zinc oxide, tinted with iron oxides rather than left white. That tint is the point: most mineral SPFs are formulated pale and then expect deeper skin to rub the white away. This one is shaded first.
Swipe it on, press it in with your fingers, go. It sits fine under or over makeup.
12g. SPF30. Vegan.
Made for you if…
- Anyone who gave up on SPF because of the cast it left
- Olive, golden and medium-brown skin tones
- Daily wear under or over makeup
- Skin that marks after spots or shaving
How to use
- Use in the morning as the last step of your skincare.
- Twist up a little and glide over your face in several passes. Apply generously, because SPF only gives the protection on the label if you use enough.
- Blend with your fingertips.
- Reapply at least every two hours outdoors, and after swimming, sweating or towel-drying. It can go straight over makeup.
- Keep it out of direct sun and hot cars, as sticks can soften in heat.
Key ingredients and why
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The mineral UV filters. Mineral filters are known for leaving a pale cast on deeper skin, which is why the Day Stick is tinted.
Iron oxides. Mineral pigments that give the tint in Tan and Deep, so the stick is shaded rather than left white.
Ceramide-type lipids. Glycolipids and glycosphingolipids, which are related to the lipids that occur naturally in skin and help support the skin barrier.
Cocoa butter and jojoba oil. They give a smooth glide and keep reapplication comfortable.
Sea buckthorn and black cumin seed oils. Plant oils.

Sun safety
- The NHS advises at least SPF30 with at least 4-star UVA protection.
- Sunscreen is one part of sun protection. Also use shade, clothing and a hat, and take extra care in the midday sun.
- No sunscreen gives 100% protection. Don’t stay in the sun longer because you’re wearing SPF.
Suitability
- Vegan. The waxes are plant-based, not beeswax.
- Contains fragrance, including naturally occurring allergens from essential oils (see full ingredients). Patch test first if your skin is reactive.
- Avoid the eye area. Stop using it if irritation occurs. For external use only.

Shade guide
Find your shade in 30 seconds.
Two shades, both made for melanin-rich skin. The tint is sheer and buildable, so it evens your tone rather than covering it.
Tan
Olive, golden and medium-brown skin
Choose Tan- Warm, golden undertone
- If you wear foundation, usually the middle-to-deeper part of a brand’s range
Deep
Rich brown to deepest skin
Choose Deep- Rich, warm-neutral depth
- If most tinted SPFs have turned grey on you, start here
Between the two? Go Deep. It sheers out.
A slightly deeper tint blends down into your skin. A shade that’s too light is what gives that grey, ashy look, so if in doubt, go deeper.
How to check at home
- Look at your jawline in daylight, not bathroom light.
- If most foundations you buy are from the deepest third of a brand’s range, start with Deep.
- Still unsure? Email us a daylight photo of your jawline and we’ll tell you honestly.
A Light shade exists, but we’re launching with Tan and Deep first, so the range doesn’t start pale and work down.
Better together
Night and day, for less.
The Night Cream works on the look of dark marks while you sleep. The Day Stick evens your tone and protects that progress with mineral SPF. Together they cost less, and delivery is free.

Will it go grey or ashy on me?
The UV filters are mineral — zinc oxide and titanium dioxide — and mineral filters are known for leaving a pale cast on deeper skin. That’s why ours is tinted with iron oxides rather than left white, and why it comes in Tan and Deep rather than one universal shade. If you’re between the two, go Deep — a deeper tint sheers out.
We’re brand new, so we’re not going to promise you how it looks on your face. Order it, tell us honestly, and we’ll publish what you say.
Is it a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
Mineral. The UV filters are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The full ingredient list is above.
Can I wear it instead of foundation?
It gives a sheer, even-looking tint, not full coverage. Plenty of people wear it on its own. If you like more coverage, wear it under or over your usual base.
How much should I use?
More than you might think. Glide it over each area several times. SPF only gives the protection on the label if you apply enough. Reapply at least every two hours outdoors.
