Delivers ceramide support with mineral SPF30
Why this exists
There is a space between bare skin and full coverage that many skin rituals still do not serve well. On days when moisturiser feels too little and foundation feels like too much, this stick offers a faster middle ground : tone correction, mineral SPF30, and barrier support in one press-and-blend step. The formula is built around zinc oxide for broad-spectrum mineral protection, with titanium dioxide and iron oxides contributing to coverage and shade accuracy. Ceramides, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, and sea buckthorn oil support comfort and emollience so the finish stays skin-close rather than heavy. Shade 25 Medium is calibrated for medium skin tones with warm to neutral undertones, with the pigment balance adjusted while the core formula stays consistent across the range.

The application
How to layer this
-
1
Apply to clean skin
Use directly on clean skin after your earlier ritual steps have fully settled. Draw the stick across areas where you want tone correction or SPF coverage.
-
2
Blend with fingertips
Press and smooth with a fingertip or sponge until the pigment melts in. The formula is designed to blend without drag and without needing a mirror.
-
3
Layer as needed
Add a little more to areas that need extra coverage or sun protection. Keep the finish light so it stays skin-close rather than foundation-like.
What to expect
On the skin, over time
Day 1
The stick glides on and blends to a skin-close finish within seconds. Coverage feels natural, with mineral SPF30 active immediately after application.
Week 1
Daily wear feels more comfortable, especially in drier or windier conditions. The barrier-supporting ingredients help the skin feel less unsettled across the day.
Week 4
It can settle into a dependable daily step on lighter-coverage days. The complexion may look more even at midday, with less need to choose between no coverage and full foundation.
The deeper detail
The formulation, the provenance, the standard
Formulation
Zinc Oxide at a meaningful concentration is the mineral sun filter. As a physical reflector of UV radiation, it provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection without the absorption-based mechanism of chemical filters, making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. Titanium Dioxide reinforces the UV scatter. Both are present as mineral pigments and contribute to the coverage alongside the Iron Oxide colour blend calibrated specifically for this shade.
The wax matrix : Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax, and Rhus Succedanea Fruit Wax : creates the solid stick form and melts imperceptibly at skin temperature, allowing the formula to blend smoothly without drag. Dicaprylyl Carbonate and Isoamyl Laurate provide the lightweight application feel.
Glycosphingolipids support the skin barrier during daily wear. Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, organically sourced, adds emollient richness. Jojoba Seed Oil, organically sourced, and Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil, organically sourced, contribute essential fatty acids and carotenoid antioxidants. Tocopherol stabilises the formula. The finish is a natural, breathable coverage with no white cast and no detectable SPF heaviness.
Provenance

handy for work
Keep this in my bag on office days because the stick format is genuinely low fuss. Melts on contact and the SPF30 means one step instead of layers. Shade 25 Medium matches my medium neutral skin well. Would like a bit more coverage on redness but the natural finish is very wearable.

love the shade
Love the shade and formula. Natural finish and SPF30 make it easy for lighter coverage days. Only docking one because I'd like more product for the price.

brilliant for travel
So handy for weekends away. Tiny, no tools needed.

bit warm for me
Shade's slightly warmer than I hoped but the SPF is useful.

blends in seconds
Well-made stick with zinc and ceramides that actually suits medium skin. Blends in seconds and feels breathable which is exactly what I wanted for daytime. The fact it's made to order is a nice touch too.

no faff needed
Didn't expect a stick to feel this good. Gives me enough coverage for school run without needing mirrors or brushes.

Blends in a single stroke. No white cast on my medium skin.

soft finish
Shade 25 Medium gives a soft believable finish on my skin. Use it as the last step before leaving the house and it just works. The mineral SPF with jojoba and sea buckthorn feels properly thought through.

shade's spot on
Shade 25 Medium sits very close to my own tone and the warm to neutral undertone makes it look far more natural than expected. The SPF30 with ceramides feels like more than just colour. Finish is skin-close rather than flat. Only gripe is I need a bit of care around edges if I'm rushing.

gentle on sensitive skin
Have sensitive skin so I'm careful. This one's been very comfortable so far. Texture softens on contact and stays close to skin.

lasts all day
The ceramides are what I notice most after a long day outside. Combined with the SPF and cocoa butter it leaves my skin comfortable rather than stripped. Shade 25 Medium works on my warm undertones.

In case you wondered
Frequently asked
Is this a foundation?
No. It is a tone-correcting, SPF-delivering stick with light coverage. It is designed to sit between bare skin and full foundation.
What skin tone is 25 Medium for?
Shade 25 Medium is calibrated for medium skin tones with warm to neutral undertones. The pigment ratio is adjusted for this shade while the core formula stays the same.
Can I use this on sensitive-feeling skin?
The formula uses mineral SPF rather than an absorption-based filter system, which many people prefer for sensitive-feeling skin. As always, patch testing is sensible if your skin is reactive.
Does it leave a white cast?
The shade is built with mineral pigments to blend into medium skin tones rather than sit chalky on top. The finish is intended to look natural and skin-close.
Can I replace moisturiser with this?
On lighter-coverage days, some people may find it enough to replace moisturiser and SPF in a single step. If your skin feels dry, you can apply moisturiser first and let it absorb before using the stick.
When will my order arrive?
We start preparing your order once it is placed and dispatch within 2 business days. From dispatch, delivery is UK 3 to 7 business days, EU 5 to 10 business days, US 2 to 5 business days.
