Note: This formula is not water resistant.
Note: There are two types of UV filters: chemical and physical. Chemical filters use active ingredients that get absorbed by the skin to block UV rays and protect the skin. Physical (or mineral) filters create a physical barrier on the skin to block UV rays. According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), zinc oxide is considered to be the safest physical filter.

Note from Attitude’s website: “Our products are constantly evolving, hence, please refer to the product packaging for our most accurate ingredient list.” -- Just the Goods will take very best efforts to identify changes and update this website
Also noted on Attitude’s website: “Please note that our products have always contained fragrances of natural origin (except for unscented products). The only thing that has changed is the way we display this information on our packaging. EWG has requested that we add the term *fragrance (parfum) to our list of ingredients because their internal standard now makes it mandatory for companies to indicate which ingredients are part of the fragrance.
Format
85 g / 3 oz in plastic-free FSC-certified recyclable cardboard packaging. Smaller formats are currently out of stock, but will be added as soon as they become available.
Both products offer similar protection against the UVA and UVB rays. A 30g sun stick can be applied more precisely to specific areas of the face such as the nose, cheekbones, or under the eyes. 85g sun sticks are more practical on larger areas such as arms, legs and back.
Please note: the packaging for this format may differ slightly from the visuals on this page.
Why choose an SPF 30 sunscreen?
SPF indicates the amount of UVB rays blocked by a sunscreen. SPF 30 will block 97.4% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 will block 98%. As you can see, the difference is relatively small. Although the numbers increase, your degree of protection isn’t significantly better. In fact, the difference between SPF 30 and 50 is minimal—SPF 50 only blocks an extra 0.6% of UVB radiation.
Percentage of blocked UVB rays:
- SPF 15: 93%
- SPF 30: 97,4%
- SPF 50: 98%
- SPF 60: 98,3%
