Earth Rhythm Sunstick SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen PA+++ | Zero White cast, Water resistant, Acne skin friendly | UVA UVB Broad Spectrum Protection |…

It defeats the purpose of a sunscreen stick as it leaves a very visible white cast and it requires blending, its hard to blend as well. It is fine if you have dry skin seems heavy. I don’t think you can apply this over makeup or wear it while you’re outside unless you’re okay with white cast. But as a sunscreen its fine I guess and it fits in your bag as well.

This is a game changer for sun protection it’s so convenient stick format and mainly it has high SPF making it a must-have for on-the-go suncare it leaves your skin protected and feels amazing just blindly go for it

This is the first time i’m using a sunscreen stick, trust me guys these sticks are so convenient to use. Earth rhythm has given a unique packaging given to the sunscreen stick so that helps me to use it comfortably. The texture of the sunscreen & the protection it gives is so satisfying.

Disclaimer: I have combination to dry skin in winter and Oily to combination during summers. Right now its Combination to oily. I have been using Minimalist sunstick, Dr. Sheth’s and The Derma co sunscreen before I started this sunstick. My review is mostly relevant to these sunscreens and I’ll be comparing it to the Minimalist Sunstick mostly.

Pro:
1. It’s a mineral sunstick so it can be applied on top of makeup or layered after moisturizer and still do it’s job efficiently.
2. Comes in a refillable package, eco friendly to anyone who considers this.
3. Quantity provided is almost twice of Minimalist Sunstick at INR 100 cheaper.
4. Has a creamy formulation and works as a moisturizer as well.

Con:
1. Makeup easily shifted when applying over, will not suggest to anyone who uses foundations on a daily basis
2. Has a white cast when applied directly to face and needs to be massaged into the face with your fingers. Beats the entire purpose of a sunstick if we have to use our hands.
3. Gets dirty easily due to the creamy formulation and cleaning it takes a while.
4. I can feel it on my face even after 30 mins. Will make you look oily if you have oily skin type.

Comparison to Minimalist Sunstick:
MS: Minimalist Sunstick
1. Firstly MS is a chemical sunstick and hence formulation is different for both. Earth Rhythm can be applied as a top layer and you still get the best out of it, whereas MS works best when applied before moisturizer and has sufficient time to be absorbed by the skin.
2. MS provides 20g product for 799 (Rate at which I bought it) whereas Earth Rhythm 40g for 699.
3. MS has a lot of additional ingredients such as rice bran oil and Vit E which nourishes the skin. Earth Rhythm has Vit E and sunflower Oil which helps with moisturising.
4. MS leaves you with a glowy finish if you don’t overdo it, whereas Earth Rhythm makes you look like an oil well even with just one swipe.
5. MS doesn’t have a white cast when applied directly, doesn’t have to be rubbed into the skin. Earth Rhythm does.
6. MS can be applied over make up and it doesn’t rub off much but Earth Rhythm rubs and mixes with the makeup.
7. MS stick can be easily cleaned but Earth Rhythm due to it’s creamy formulation traps dirt.
8. Both have SPF 50 PA ++++ UVA and UVB.

Who would I recommend it to:
1. Those who have access to a mirror when outside.
2. People who don’t wear much make up.
3. Dry Skin folks who want a moisture boost as well when they reapply.
4. People who are looking for an affordable sunstick and won’t have an issue massaging into their skin after application.
