Common questions

1. Is the paper tube packaging durable/water resistant?

The paper tube is durable enough to keep your sunscreen safe even after some contact with the water. The structure of the tube is made of multiple paper layers pressed together which makes it stiff and resistant to normal usage conditions. You can use with wet hands, it should also survive an accidental drop into the water if you take it out right after – that said we do not encourage you to test how long it will survive;) just try to store it in the dry and shady place.

2. How efficient the Aloha Sun Stick is? How long it will last?

Aloha Sun Stick contains 20 grams of sunscreen which is really a lot (more than most of the similar products on the market)! If you use it for one person it will definitely last for many surfing sessions, depending on how intensively you will use it, from several weeks to a few months. One stick should be sufficient to cover the whole face for about 80 times.

3. Is Aloha Sun Stick suitable for using on the body?

Aloha Sun Stick is designed to protect your face’s sensitive areas like nose and cheeks. Technically it is totally fine to use Aloha Care sunscreen on the rest of your body, however, we would mostly recommend it to cover only local sensitive spots – like tattoos or marks on the skin. Otherwise, it is just not practical for a few reasons. First, the stick applicator is not the best in covering bigger areas of your skin. Second, it can make your clothes dirty, which can be then hard to wash, especially in case of white fabrics. For the whole body, it is best to use Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) sunwear instead of a sunscreen whenever you can. Sometimes even a simple T-shirt will do.
