Product Overview
Hampton Sun SPF 50 Mineral Face Stick is a portable broad-spectrum sunscreen created for easy, targeted protection of the face. The weightless stick glides smoothly across the skin and leaves a sheer finish that can be worn alone or beneath makeup.
The formula uses 14.69% non-nano Zinc Oxide as its mineral UV filter to help protect against both UVA and UVB rays. It is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it a practical choice for daily wear, travel and outdoor activities.
Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil, Grapeseed Oil and Shea Oil help soften and condition the skin while supporting a comfortable, non-greasy feel. The fragrance-free formula is suitable for sensitive skin and can also help create a smooth, makeup-ready finish.

Professional Recommendation
Keep the stick in a handbag or travel case for fast reapplication on exposed areas. It is especially useful for the nose, cheekbones, forehead, ears and neck, where sun exposure is easy to underestimate.
For reliable daily protection, apply generously, cover every exposed area, allow 15 minutes before sun exposure, reapply at least every two hours, renew protection after swimming, sweating or towel drying, and combine sunscreen with shade, protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses.
Safety Information
Apply the stick liberally and evenly about 15 minutes before sun exposure, and make sure the coverage is continuous rather than a few quick swipes. Reapply at least every two hours, and always after swimming, towel drying, or sweating, since the formula is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes rather than all day. Sunscreen works alongside shade, a hat, sunglasses, and covering clothing, not in place of them. Keep the stick away from the eye area and rinse thoroughly with water if any gets in. Stop use and check with a healthcare professional if sensitivity or irritation develops.
Not recommended for:
- Children under 6 months of age.
- Broken, raw, or freshly treated skin, unless your provider has cleared daily sunscreen use.
- Anyone who reacts to Zinc Oxide or any listed inactive ingredient. If you have known sensitivities, check the full ingredient list with your own healthcare professional before use.
- Use as a substitute for shade, protective clothing, or sensible time limits in strong midday sun.
- Sharing between people while anyone has a cold sore or broken skin on the face, since the stick touches skin directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Hampton Sun Age-Defying SPF 50 Mineral Face Creme?
The Age-Defying SPF 50 Mineral Face Creme is the morning layer: you spread it across the whole face and neck with your hands and let it set under makeup. The stick is the daytime top-up. It goes on without a mirror, without washing your hands, and lets you target the nose, ears, cheekbones, forehead, and neck. Many people keep the creme on the bathroom shelf and the stick in a bag.
Can I reapply it over makeup?
Yes, and this is where the format earns its place. Glide it over the area in short passes and press rather than rub, so the makeup underneath stays put. Repeat the passes until the area looks evenly covered instead of relying on a single stroke.
Will it leave a light film on deeper skin tones?
This is a 100% mineral formula with non-nano Zinc Oxide, and mineral filters sit on the surface of the skin, so a light film can be visible before it is blended in. Warming the product with a fingertip and pressing it in usually settles it. Because the stick is most often used on smaller areas such as the nose, ears, and cheekbones, any film tends to be easier to blend down than on a full-face layer.
How many passes count as enough?
One quick swipe is rarely enough to reach the labeled protection. Go over each area several times until the skin looks evenly coated, then move to the next section. Do not skip the ears, the hairline, the sides of the neck, and the tops of the shoulders if they are exposed.
Is it a good option for sensitive skin and for travel?
It is fragrance-free and uses a single mineral filter, which many people with reactive skin prefer, and at 0.45 oz. / 13 g it is compact and TSA-approved. If your skin is highly reactive or you are combining several active products, a Beauty Ambassade esthetician can review the routine with you during an online skincare consultation.
