Cica Cooling Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ cooling sun protection stick, 18 g

💚 Cooling sun protection that’s always at hand

The TOCOBO Cica Cooling Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ offers sun protection in a conveniently portable, practical stick form. Unlike traditional sunscreens, it can be applied directly to the skin, making it especially comfortable when you want to refresh your UV protection during the day. The easy-glide balm combines a high sun protection factor with hydrating and comfort-enhancing ingredients.

Its pale green stick represents the meeting point of centella skincare and a cooling, fresh sensation. The formula is based on organic UV filters and contains niacinamide, centella extracts, various hyaluronic acid derivatives, and mint powder. It does not replace a carefully applied, adequate amount of morning sunscreen: it is particularly practical for renewing protection during the day.

✨ What does it do?

• Helps protect the skin from UVA and UVB radiation with SPF50+ PA++++ protection.
• Its stick design allows for easy use with clean hands, while travelling, and throughout the day.
• Supports skin comfort with centella extracts and madecassoside.
• Complements hydration with hyaluronic acid derivatives and niacinamide.
• Mint powder provides a refreshing, cooling sensation to the skin.
• Due to its organic UV filters, it does not typically leave the white cast associated with traditional mineral sunscreens.

🧬 Key ingredients

Centella asiatica complex

Alongside root, leaf, and whole plant centella extracts, the formula includes asiaticoside, madecassoside, madecassic acid, and asiatic acid. These ingredients support skin care and comfort, making them particularly suitable for daily care of facial skin exposed to sunlight and heat.

Various hyaluronic acids

Sodium hyaluronate and various hydrolysed, cross-linked, or modified forms of hyaluronic acid act as water-binding ingredients to help reduce unpleasant dryness. Thus, the stick not only forms a protective sunblock layer but can also provide a more pleasant skin feel.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is a multifunctional skincare ingredient that may contribute to supporting the skin barrier and promoting a more even skin appearance. In this product, it complements the sun protection system rather than serving as a standalone pigment spot treatment.

Mint powder and vitamin E

Mentha arvensis powder contributes to the refreshing sensation, while tocopherol acts as an antioxidant ingredient. Those with sensitive skin that reacts to mint or fragrances should test carefully.

Organic UV filters

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, and Polysilicone-15 complement each other to form the key elements of the sun protection system.

🎯 Who is it recommended for?

For those seeking a compact, easily reapplicable sunscreen for daytime use, travel, or to carry in a bag. Suitable for normal, combination, dry, and oily skin routines. The centella concept may appeal to skin prone to redness, but as it contains mint and fragrance, it may not be the first choice for very reactive skin.

💗 Why do we love it?

Because it makes regular reapplication easier: there’s no need to take out a separate creamy tube or press product into your palm. The balmy texture and cooling character are a combination especially appreciated on long, sunny days.

❓ Q&A

Can I use it instead of morning sunscreen?

The stick is also a sunscreen, but it’s easy to apply less than the necessary amount when applying directly. For more reliable, even coverage, we recommend applying an adequate amount of sunscreen in the morning and using this stick as a convenient daytime supplement.

Can it be applied over makeup?

It may be suitable for gentle, careful reapplication, but makeup may shift. Do not rub, and ensure an adequate amount of sunscreen is applied to the skin.

Chemical or mineral sunscreen?

It is a sunscreen stick containing organic, commonly called chemical UV filters, not a classic mineral sunscreen based on zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

Is it suitable for sensitive facial skin?

Alongside centella and hydrating ingredients, it also contains mint and fragrance. If you are sensitive to these, be sure to perform a patch test and consider choosing a fragrance-free alternative.
