Ogee Sculpted Face Stick

A versatile, clean cream stick designed to sculpt, define, highlight, or add a wash of color to the face. The formula blends nourishing plant oils, botanical waxes, and mineral pigments to create a smooth, natural finish that melts into the skin instead of sitting on top.

Certifications & Standards

  • NSF/ANSI 305 Certified Organic (meets organic standards for personal care formulations)

  • Leaping Bunny Certified Cruelty-Free

  • Contains certified organic, locally sourced beeswax (not vegan)

(I'm leaving out “vegan” here because Ogee confirms their Sculpted Face Sticks contain beeswax and are not considered vegan.)

What I Like

  • EWG Rating: 3 — based on running the ingredient list through the EWG-style analyzer, this falls in a low-to-moderate hazard range, driven mainly by general processing/contamination flags for minerals and certain emollients rather than any single “red flag” ingredient.

  • Multi-purpose stick that can act as blush, bronzer, contour, or highlighter depending on the shade and placement — perfect for a pared-back, minimal routine.

  • Creamy, blendable texture that melts into skin and gives a soft, skin-like finish instead of harsh edges.

  • Built on organic olive, jojoba, and coconut oils plus beeswax, so it feels nourishing and gives that dewy, “lived-in” finish.

  • Uses mineral pigments instead of synthetic dyes and skips the usual heavy silicones and petrochemicals.

  • Very travel- and purse-friendly; easy to swipe on and blend with fingers or a brush.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Coverage is light to medium and buildable — if you want full-coverage foundation-style payoff, this won’t be your workhorse.

  • The oil- and wax-rich formula can feel dewier on normal-to-oily skin or in hot, humid weather; a light set with powder can help.

  • As with most stick products, shade matching matters; undertones will really determine whether a shade reads “fresh” or a bit off on your skin tone.

  • Carmine may be present in some shades, so it’s not suitable for strict vegan users or anyone avoiding carmine.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

  • Most of the base ingredients here — olive oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, sunflower-derived vitamin E, carnauba wax, and beeswax — are generally considered low risk for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

  • The emollient alkanes (C13–14 and C18–21) are plant-derived and widely used in clean formulations as lightweight texture enhancers; there isn’t pregnancy-specific concern around them at cosmetic levels.

  • There are no essential oils or strong “treatment” actives in this formula, which can make it a gentler option compared to products loaded with active botanicals.
