Earth Mama Lady Face Mineral Sunscreen Face Stick – SPF 40

This gentle, mineral-based face stick uses non-nano zinc oxide (20%) to provide broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while nourishing skin with organic plant oils and botanicals. The formula glides on smoothly without the white, chalky finish many mineral sticks leave behind, making it a safer, pregnancy-friendly option for everyday sun protection. It’s reef-friendly, biodegradable, and made without synthetic fragrance, parabens, or chemical UV filters.

Ingredients:
Active: Non-Nano Zinc Oxide (20%)
Inactive: Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil; Organic Cera Alba (Beeswax); Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride; Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax; Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax; Organic Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter; Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil; Isopropyl Myristate; Isoamyl Laurate; Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate; Organic Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil; Tocopherol (Vitamin E); Organic Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract.

No chemical UV filters, no synthetic fragrance, no parabens, no petroleum-derived ingredients.

What I like:

  • Non-nano zinc oxide offers one of the safest forms of UV protection — stable, broad-spectrum, and not absorbed into the bloodstream.

  • Pregnancy- and breastfeeding-friendly according to EU and international safety standards for mineral filters.

  • Clean base of organic oils and waxes that moisturize and support the skin barrier without synthetic fillers.

  • Reef-friendly and biodegradable, avoiding hormone-disrupting chemical filters like oxybenzone and octinoxate.

  • Completely fragrance-free, making it ideal for sensitive skin and those avoiding fragrance allergens.

  • Smooth, non-chalky application for a mineral stick — blends well with fingertip heat.

  • Stick format makes it easy for kids and on-the-go use — convenient for beach bags, backpacks, or quick touch-ups.

  • EWG Verified™ with ingredients that generally rate EWG 1.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Mineral sunscreens with non-nano zinc may appear slightly white on first application. Let it warm into the skin or blend with fingertips for a more even finish.

  • Because it’s made with organic oils and butters, the stick may soften in higher temperatures — avoid leaving it in a hot car or direct sunlight.
