I have to admit, I don’t actually use sunscreen sticks yet, which is a funny way to start a list of 43 of them. Still, I get the appeal: no squeezing tubes, no messy hands, no greasy phone screens—just twist and swipe, even over makeup in the middle of the day. If I were to try one, I’d probably pick Luxe Organix or Beach Hut, since they’re both high on this list. When I checked out what’s available on Shopee, I ended up with a haul big enough to have its own personality. I’ve organized all the sunscreen sticks by brand so you can easily scroll through.
Here’s every option I found, grouped by brand, with details checked from the listings or the brands’ own websites when possible. Keep in mind that SPF and PA ratings can change between batches, so always go by what’s printed on the packaging you get.
Every sunscreen stick on my list, grouped by brand
1. LUXE ORGANIX Zero Shine Invisible Screen Daily Sun Stick SPF 100 17g
This local option focuses on shine control and an invisible finish, which is perfect for oily skin in Manila’s humidity. The SPF 100 label looks impressive, but in reality, there’s not much difference between SPF 50 and 100. Reapplying every two hours matters more than the number. It’s a good value, low-fuss sunscreen stick you can toss in your bag and use whenever you need it.
2. Camou
Camou is the indie matte specialist on this list, built around oil control and sweat resistance, with both chemical and mineral options to suit your skin’s mood. The 20g Camou Men’s Mattifying Face Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 is designed for oily, sweaty skin that hates feeling coated. The 68g Camou XL Mattifying Sun Stick with Aloe Vera and Cotton Extract is the bulk buy for body use, while the Camou Lite Sunstick 20g with Niacinamide and Centella adds anti-blue-light and soothing benefits. If you prefer mineral filters, the 68g Camou XL Mineral Sunscreen Stick with Zinc Oxide and Ceramide and the 20g Camou Mineral Matte Sunscreen Stick SPF50 PA++++ both run on zinc oxide. That zinc oxide is the catch: unlike the chemical sticks here, the mineral pair can leave a faint cast on deeper skin tones, so reach for the chemical versions if an invisible finish matters most to you.
3. blk cosmetics
This makeup brand treats sun protection like a primer, which can be convenient—but only if you apply enough. The blk cosmetics universal sheer sunscreen primer stick comes in SPF 50 PA++++ (15g) and a larger SPF 50 (20g) version, but the 20g stick is labeled PA++, which means it offers less UVA protection. There’s also a tinted version if you want a bit of color. Since primer hybrids can make you use too little, be sure to apply this sunscreen stick more generously than you might think.
4. Nature Republic
There are two California Aloe sticks at SPF50+ PA++++, each with a different finish. The Nature Republic California Aloe Fresh Powdery Sun Stick dries to a matte finish and is great for oily skin. The California Aloe Cooling Watery Sun Stick feels fresher and is better for normal to dry skin. Both have soothing aloe, which is nice after sun exposure.
5. Hello Glow Sun Care Sticks
This local stick started as an award winner and has grown into a family of five variants, so the listing now feels like a menu. The Original Sun Care Stick has the highest SPF at 60+, while the others target specific concerns: Mugwort with cica and tea tree for acne-prone skin, Bakuchiol for firmer skin without retinol worries, Ceramide with triple hyaluronic acid for dry skin that wants a dewy look, and Alpha-Melight for dark spots and pigmentation. It’s rare to see a Filipino brand offer such a wide range of concern-specific sunscreen sticks at the 400 to 500 peso price point. Choose the one that matches your skin needs instead of just picking the original—that’s the whole idea behind this lineup.
6. FRESH Skinlab K-Aloe Ice 3 in 1 Niacinamide Cooling UV Sun Stick SPF 70 15g
This local sunscreen stick combines three popular features: niacinamide, a cooling effect, and aloe. SPF 70 offers a bit more protection than the usual 50, and the cooling feel is a relief during hot midday commutes. It’s best for oily and combination skin that prefers a refreshing finish over a dewy one.
7. Belo SunExpert Ultra Sheer Sunscreen Stick
With SPF50 PA++++, an ultra-sheer matte finish, and no white cast, this stick is easy to recommend for daily city use and for reapplying over makeup. It’s water-resistant and can also be used as a primer. The standard size is 23g, while the 15g version is a more affordable, smaller option for your makeup bag.
8. Beauty of Joseon Mugwort Sun Stick SPF50 PA++++ 18G
Just to clarify, this product is listed as the Mugwort Sun Stick, but Beauty of Joseon’s official name is the Matte Sun Stick in Mugwort plus Camelia. It’s a chemical sunscreen with silica for oil control, giving a smooth matte finish that works well over makeup—great for oily skin. Mugwort and green tea add soothing and nourishing benefits. It’s a solid all-rounder if you want that K-beauty touch.
9. barenbliss PoreBlur Primer Sunstick
This stick blurs and mattifies, making it a good choice for anyone who wants to minimize the look of pores. As a primer sunscreen stick, it works best when you apply a proper layer instead of just dabbing it on, otherwise you lose some protection for the sake of a soft-focus look. It’s ideal for oily skin that prefers a matte finish.
10. Deoproce UV Defence Silky Light Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++
This Korean option is made for sensitive skin, with a matte finish and a lightweight feel. Its silky, light texture is great if you find heavier sticks uncomfortable. It’s a straightforward, everyday sunscreen stick that keeps things simple.
11. COSRX Airy-Light Invisible Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ 19g
This chemical sunscreen has niacinamide and zinc PCA, leaves no white cast, and has a soft matte finish that absorbs oil—perfect for oily, acne-prone skin. It’s dermatologically tested and designed to resist sweat. If your face gets oily by lunchtime, try this one first.
12. Seoul White Korea
There are two SPF50+ PA++++ sticks to choose from. The Invisible Glow Sun Stick (20g) is lightweight and mattifying for those who want a barely-there look, while the Tinted Mattifying Sun Stick (20g) adds color designed to suit most skin tones. As with any tinted product, the single shade won’t work for everyone, so check swatches before buying.
13. ICE LERSKIN Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+++ Oil Control
This is a budget-friendly travel option focused on oil control and sweat resistance. The SPF 50+++ label is a bit unusual, so double-check the packaging for the exact rating. It’s a good choice for trips or outdoor errands when you just need basic protection.
14. Isntree Onion Fresh Light Sun Stick 22g
This Korean stick uses onion extract for soothing and brightening, and it feels light on the skin. The 22g size is generous, and the fresh finish works well for combination skin. It’s a gentle choice if you want your sunscreen stick to feel like skincare.
15. Beach Hut Unseen Face Sunstick SPF 100 with Niacinamide
This local beach brand offers an invisible finish and niacinamide with a high SPF claim. Like other SPF 100 products, the number is more about marketing than a real upgrade, but the invisible finish and the brand’s reputation for water and sun products make it a good choice for active days. Remember, reapplying is more important than the SPF number.
16. Happy Skin
This local makeup brand has three sticks to check out. The Happy Skin Invisible Sun Stick Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is straightforward and simple. The David Guison collaboration includes the Happy Skin x David Matte Sun Stick SPF 50 PA++++ and the Happy Skin x David Tinted Matte Sun Stick. The matte options are good for oily skin, and the tinted one is for makeup days—just remember that one shade won’t suit every skin tone.
17. Céleteque
This local derma brand offers three stick options. The Céleteque DermoScience Skin Defense Tinted Face Stick and the newer Celeteque Skin Defense InvisiShield Mattifying Sun Stick (20g) cover tinted and matte needs. There’s also the Celeteque Radiance Illuminator Tinted Serum Stick SPF 30, which is more of a glow product with light protection, so don’t use it as your main sunscreen stick.
18. SKIN1004
The Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-Fit Sun Stick is made with centella for soothing, sensitive skin. The 20g size is the full version, and the 7g size is a travel mini for your bag. It’s a calm, comfortable pick if your skin reacts to heat.
19. Dr. Sensitive Sunscreen Sun Stick SPF 100+ PA++++ 22g
This matte, broad-spectrum stick has a high SPF claim and comes in a generous 22g size. It’s marketed for sensitive skin and the matte finish makes it a good choice for oily, picky skin. Just remember, SPF 100 isn’t a huge jump, so keep reapplying.
20. Chu Chu Beauty Sun Defense Stick SPF40 PA++++
This one has SPF40, which is a bit lower than most on this list, but the PA++++ rating still gives strong UVA protection. It’s fine for days with less sun exposure or for people who commute indoors. Just choose an SPF that matches how much sun you actually get.
21. SOLA Glow Guard Sun Stick SPF 50+ PA++++
This local SPF50+ PA++++ stick has a glowy finish for those who don’t want a fully matte look. It’s a neat everyday choice if you like a dewy effect. Try a swatch to see how the glow looks on your skin.
22. ROUND LAB Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Stick 19g
This chemical, hydrating stick uses birch sap and peptides, leaves no white cast, and feels cushiony—great for dry skin. It can double as a moisturizer and layers easily. Just note that it’s made for daily city use, not water sports, so reapply often if you’re sweating.
23. Mustela High Protection Sun Stick SPF50 9g
This French family brand stick is gentle enough for kids and sensitive skin. The 9g size is small, so it’s best for the face or touch-ups, not full body use. It’s a nice option for parents who want one product for everyone.
24. d’Alba Waterfull Air Fit Fresh Sun Stick 19g
This vegan SPF 50+ PA++++ stick has a fresh, hydrating feel and the brand’s signature airy texture. It’s good for people who find matte sticks too drying. It’s a pleasant daily sunscreen if you prefer a softer, more comfortable finish.
25. VICE CO. SUNWEAR Daily Shield Sun Stick
This local option from Vice Cosmetics is made for daily use. There aren’t many details beyond what’s on the listing, so check the packaging for more info. It’s a budget-friendly choice if you already like the brand’s products.
26. Arencia Cloud Sun Stick with Cica, PDRN and Triple Hyaluronic Acid SPF 50+ 18g
This Korean stick is packed with hydrating ingredients like cica, PDRN, and triple hyaluronic acid, plus panthenol. The ‘cloud’ name hints at its soft, cushiony finish, which is great for dehydrated skin. It’s more of a skincare-focused sunscreen stick than a mattifying one.
27. Torriden DIVE IN Soothing Sun Stick SPF 50+ PA++++ 19g
From the popular DIVE IN line, this stick uses hyaluronic acid for strong hydration and soothing. It’s a comfortable choice for dry and sensitive skin that needs extra moisture. It’s reliable and gentle for daily use.

30. Giggles UV Soothing Sunscreen Stick SPF50+ PA++++
I was surprised to find that Giggles makes a sunscreen stick, since I usually think of them for baby wipes. This one is lightweight, non-sticky, and safe for babies, with a gentle formula for kids and sensitive skin. It’s easy to apply on a wiggly child, which is a big plus.

How to pick a sunscreen stick without overthinking it
Begin by considering your skin type, since that affects everything else. Oily and acne-prone skin does best with matte, oil-controlling formulas like Camou, COSRX, or Beauty of Joseon. Dry or dehydrated skin will prefer hydrating options like ROUND LAB, Torriden, or d’Alba. If you have combination skin, a balanced hybrid like TOCOBO is a good choice.
Next, look past the SPF number. SPF 50 already blocks roughly 98 percent of UVB, so the jump to SPF 70 or 100 is small; what truly protects you is applying enough and reapplying every 2 hours. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, which every stick here clears. Pay more attention to the PA rating for UVA defense, and treat anything below PA++++ as a step down.
Then, choose between chemical and mineral formulas. Chemical sticks usually feel lighter and blend in quickly, which is good for darker skin tones that want to avoid a white cast. Mineral sticks with zinc oxide are gentler for sensitive skin but can leave a slight film. If you’re using a stick over tinted or invisible sunscreen, it’s mainly for reapplication, so pick one that glides on easily and works well over makeup.
Finally, be realistic about how much you will apply. A stick makes it easy to go too thin, so a few firm passes beat one shy swipe. If you find yourself skipping reapplication entirely, a sunscreen mist might suit your habits better, but for most people, the swipe-and-go nature of a good sunscreen stick is what finally makes reapplication happen.
TL;DR
A sunscreen stick is the easiest SPF format to reapply at 2pm, and there are 43 brands of them on Shopee right now. Pick by skin type first: matte sebum controllers like Camou, COSRX, or Beauty of Joseon for oily skin, hydrating ones like ROUND LAB, Torriden, or d’Alba for dry skin, and a hybrid like TOCOBO if you cannot decide. Ignore SPF 100 marketing, since SPF 50 already blocks about 98 percent of UVB, and focus on applying enough and reapplying every 2 hours. The best sunscreen stick is whichever one you will pull out of your bag, not the one with the biggest number on the front.
