[Mary&May] Vegan Peptide Bakuchiol Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ 18g

Mary&May Vegan Peptide Bakuchiol Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ 18g

Reapplying sunscreen throughout the day is non-negotiable for real UV protection — but it's also the step most people skip because it's inconvenient, messy, or ruins their makeup. The Mary&May Vegan Peptide Bakuchiol Sun Stick solves all of that. Compact, mess-free, and makeup-friendly, this innovative sun stick delivers maximum SPF50+ PA++++ protection in a swipe — making on-the-go reapplication effortless, whether you're at your desk, in the car, or out in the Nairobi sun.

But this isn't just a convenient sunscreen — it's an anti-aging treatment in disguise. Formulated with Bakuchiol (the vegan alternative to Retinol) and a multi-peptide complex, every reapplication actively works to firm, smooth, and renew your skin while protecting it. 100% vegan and thoughtfully crafted for daily use.

✨ Key Ingredients & What They Do

• Bakuchiol — Derived from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, Bakuchiol is clinically proven to deliver Retinol-like anti-aging results — stimulating collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin firmness, and evening out skin tone — without the irritation, dryness, or photosensitivity associated with Retinol. This makes it uniquely suited to a daytime sunscreen formula, where Retinol would be counterproductive. It is also 100% vegan and plant-derived.
• Multi-Peptide Complex — A blend of signal and carrier peptides that work synergistically to stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, improve skin density and firmness, and smooth the appearance of fine lines. Applied daily via sunscreen reapplication, peptides accumulate their anti-aging benefits over time for a compounding effect on skin quality.
• Broad-Spectrum UV Filters (SPF50+ PA++++) — SPF50+ blocks approximately 98% of UVB rays (sunburn, surface damage, skin cancer risk), while PA++++ provides the maximum available rating for UVA protection (premature aging, hyperpigmentation, deep skin damage). Together they deliver comprehensive, maximum-strength broad-spectrum protection in every application.
• Vegan Squalane — A plant-derived (sugarcane) emollient that mimics the skin's natural sebum, providing lightweight, non-comedogenic moisture that keeps the skin barrier comfortable and supple throughout the day without clogging pores or feeling greasy.
• Niacinamide — Brightens the complexion, minimizes pores, and regulates sebum — ensuring the sun stick actively improves skin quality with every reapplication rather than simply sitting on top of the skin.

🌿 What It Targets

• UVB rays — sunburn, surface skin damage, skin cancer risk
• UVA rays — premature aging, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, deep skin damage
• Fine lines and loss of firmness (via Bakuchiol + Peptides)
• Dull, uneven skin tone
• Inconvenient or disruptive SPF reapplication over makeup
• Dehydration and moisture loss during sun exposure

🧴 Texture & Feel

The sun stick glides on smoothly and blends seamlessly into the skin — even over makeup — without pilling, streaking, or leaving a white cast. The balm-like texture melts on contact with skin warmth, delivering a lightweight, non-greasy finish that looks natural and feels comfortable. It's compact enough to slip into a handbag, pocket, or desk drawer, making it the most practical SPF reapplication tool you'll own.

📋 How to Use

1. Morning application: Use after your moisturizer as the final step of your AM routine, or layer over your primary sunscreen for extra protection on high-exposure days.
2. Reapplication throughout the day: Swipe directly onto the face every 2 hours when outdoors, after sweating, or after towel drying. Blend gently with fingertips if needed.
3. Can be applied directly over makeup without disturbing your base — simply swipe and lightly pat to blend.
4. Pay particular attention to high-exposure areas: nose, cheekbones, forehead, and the back of the neck.
5. Use daily, year-round — UV damage occurs even on overcast days and through glass.

⚠️ Important Notes

• 100% Vegan — free from animal-derived ingredients and by-products.
• Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
• Patch test recommended for first-time users.
• For external use only — avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Keep the cap on when not in use to prevent the formula from drying out or melting in heat.
• Store in a cool, dry place — avoid leaving in direct sunlight or a hot car, as the stick format can soften or melt at high temperatures.
• Check expiry date — expired sunscreen loses its UV protection effectiveness.
