Product Summary
We do not recommend "EQ EVOA - Sun Stick SPF 50+" because it does not provide good UVA protection. UVA sun rays don't burn the skin, but they still lead to photoaging and hyperpigmentation.
It also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product.
Sunscreen filters
This sunscreen is a mineral sunscreen. It uses titanium dioxide for sun protection. Titanium dioxide almost never irritates the skin or stings eyes, but it can leave a white cast.
Irritation risk
This product contains some common irritants, including those without a benefit for the skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this product to be medium. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

Moisturizing

The texture also protects from the cold, wind and salt water, which prevents unpleasant feelings of tension and chapped skin.

What does the product description say?

This product does not offer good protection against UVA rays.
