FAQs

Is Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF 50 suitable for all skin types?

This product is specifically formulated for normal and dry skin types, offering hydration and a dewy finish. If you have oily skin, you might find the dewy finish to be more luminous than preferred, but it will still provide excellent sun protection.

How often should I reapply the Glow Stick?

For continuous protection, reapply at least every two hours. If swimming or sweating, reapply immediately after towel drying, or at least every 40 minutes, as its water resistance is limited to 40 minutes.

Can I use the Glow Stick under or over makeup?

Yes, you can use it both under and over makeup. Apply it as the last step in your skincare routine before makeup for a glowy base. For reapplication over makeup, gently pat or dab the stick onto the skin to avoid disturbing your look.

Does this product leave a white cast?

No, the Supergoop! Glow Stick is a dry oil stick that absorbs into the skin with a clear, white cast-free finish, making it suitable for all skin tones.

What are the key ingredients that provide skin benefits?

The Glow Stick is enriched with Buriti Oil, known for its beta carotene content and antioxidant properties; Pracaxi Oil, which moisturizes with beneficial fatty acids; and Tamanu Oil, which helps reduce damage from free radicals.

Is the Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF 50 vegan and gluten-free?

Yes, the formula is both gluten-free and vegan, catering to those with specific dietary and lifestyle preferences.

Troubleshooting

Product doesn't glide smoothly or feels too firm.

Ensure your skin is clean and slightly warm. You can also gently warm the stick on the back of your hand for a few seconds before applying it to your face or body, which helps soften the formula for smoother application.

My skin feels too dewy or oily after application.

The Supergoop! Glow Stick is designed to provide a dewy, luminous finish. If it feels excessively oily, try applying a thinner layer. You can also gently pat your skin with a clean tissue a few minutes after application to absorb any excess shine without compromising sun protection.

Concern about reapplying over makeup without smudging.

Instead of swiping, gently pat or dab the stick onto areas needing reapplication. Use your fingertips to lightly blend the edges if necessary. The formula is designed to be mess-free and should not heavily disturb makeup if applied with a light touch.

The product appears to be melting or has changed consistency.

This can happen if the stick has been exposed to high temperatures. Store the Glow Stick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or hot environments (like a car dashboard). If it has melted, place it in a refrigerator for a short period to firm it up again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Convenient Reapplication: The stick format makes reapplication throughout the day simple and mess-free, even over makeup.
  • Dewy, Radiant Finish: Leaves skin with a healthy, luminous glow, doubling as a highlighter.
  • Hydrating Formula: Infused with beneficial oils to moisturize normal to dry skin.
  • No White Cast: Absorbs clear into all skin tones, ensuring an invisible finish.
  • Portable Design: Compact and solid, perfect for travel, gym bags, or purses.
  • Suitable for Face & Body: Versatile for targeted sun protection wherever needed.

Cons

  • Limited Water Resistance: Only provides 40 minutes of water and sweat resistance, requiring frequent reapplication during extended water exposure.
  • May Be Too Dewy for Oily Skin: While great for normal to dry skin, the dewy finish might not be preferred by those with oily skin types.
  • Stick Transfer: Direct application might pick up makeup or transfer product if not applied carefully over existing layers.

Setup & Application

  1. Prep Your Skin: For best results, ensure your skin is clean and moisturized. The Glow Stick can be applied directly onto bare skin or over your regular skincare products.
  2. Apply Generously: Twist up the stick and glide it directly onto your face, neck, chest, shoulders, or any other exposed areas. Aim for thorough coverage to achieve the stated SPF protection. A good rule of thumb is to apply until a visible sheen is present, then gently pat it in if desired.
  3. For Reapplication: To reapply over makeup, gently pat or dab the stick onto your skin rather than dragging it to avoid smudging. Blend lightly with your fingertips if needed.
  4. As a Highlighter: Apply to specific high points of the face (cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of nose) and body for an extra glow.

Compatibility

  • Skin Types: Formulated specifically for normal and dry skin types, offering hydration and a dewy finish. May be too luminous for very oily skin.
  • Areas of Use: Safe and effective for use on both the face and body.
  • Makeup: Can be worn under or over makeup for added protection and glow.

Care & Storage

  • Storage: Store the Glow Stick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to prevent melting or changes in consistency. Ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use.
  • Cleaning: If the stick's surface appears dirty or has makeup residue, gently wipe the top layer with a clean tissue. Avoid using water or harsh cleansers directly on the product.
