9 Clear and Clean Sunscreen Sticks to Take With You All Summer

This fragrance-free SPF stick comes from editor-favorite K-Beauty Abib. The beauty of stick sunscreens is that they go on so easily you may even forget you’re applying sunscreen – and this one mimics a dewy highlighter stick . Follow the natural curve of the stick’s container to get every corner of your face, and you’re ready for some sweet sunshine.

This Sun Bum brand stick is great for beachy fingers. The lightly-fragranced stick can be twisted out easily with the container’s notched wheel, and its packaging? Iconic. Feel the protection (at a SPF 30) and enjoy those hot, sunny rays.

This all-natural sun stick from Colorado brand MyChelle is free from parabens and absorbers (that rely on chemicals to guard against UV rays). The stick is hassle-free and glides on well, according to past users. It can leave a white cast from the mineral ingredients, but the effect dulls down after a short wait or by layering under another skincare product.

This sun stick is portable for all beachgoing occasions and can withstand up to SPF 50. Cetaphil’s marigold stick is also free of parabens, fragrance, and oil. It has the added bonus of helping to lock in moisture, too.

This slightly more showy sun stick includes an infusion of natural mica, which imparts the look of glitter to each swipe. Kopari’s rendition of a sunscreen can be used to apply to face and body, 40 minutes before your adventure in the sun. The brand’s signature scent is the coconut milk scent, and the same light fragrance is included in this twistable number. Non-greasy and resistant to water and sweat, take your protection up a notch with this twinkly orange stick.

A mighty stick with an impressive set of ingredients, this 50 SPF powerhouse helps to calm dry, red skin with ingredients like cocoa seed butter, as well as vitamin E and sunflower seed oil. Ideal for a range of active days under the sun (including both slopes and sea environments), slide this snowboarder-created sunscreen over your nose, cheeks, and forehead to ensure you’re protected from the harmful effects of direct sun exposure.

Designed for life in motion, this sleek sun stick is the minimalist’s answer to daily UV protection. Packed with a powerhouse blend of vitamin C & E to help boost collagen and firm skin, plus hydrating shea butter for a smooth, skin-loving finish, it glides on effortlessly without leaving behind a chalky cast. Micronized zinc oxide offers a naturally derived shield against harmful rays, while its water-resistant formula keeps up with sweat, swims, and spontaneous adventures. Just toss it in your bag—and you’re good to go.

Another K-Beauty brand, Dearcloud’s version leans into the Korean penchant for powerful, multilayered skincare by packaging a few purposes in one product. This stick defends against UV rays, while also fighting hyperpigmentation with cica and refining skin texture and moisture levels with hyaluronic acid.

This sun stick can also show off its chops under and over makeup. Wear it as a smoothing primer before applying all your face essentials, or even top it off over your foundation (especially helpful if your favorite base does not include SPF).

This niacinamide and hyaluronic balm from Glow Recipe is part sunscreen and part nourishing serum, while still sporting the compact stick form. This pick is a top choice for those that also are working to fade dark spots and boost overall moisture, while protecting their skin from the sun. This translucent stick is sweet and fruity pick for those with sensitive skin (no clogged pores), while providing an SPF of 45.
