GENERAL

How long will a bottle of Stil last me?

Stil Face Daily SPF is a 50ml bottle that should last you over 2 months (we estimate 75-80 applications) with daily use. One pump is the recommended amount for face and neck. 

Will Stil suit my skin type?

Stil was formulated to work for all skin types and tones including sensitive, acne-prone, dry and oily skin.

Our mineral formula is gentle, non-irritating and balanced to protect without clogging pores or causing discomfort.

What type of finish does Stil SPF have?

It absorbs quickly and has a natural finish. It's not greasy, heavy, or chalky (like you might expect from other mineral sunscreens) making it easy to wear every day, under makeup or on its own.

Why is Stil good for your skin?

Stil uses mineral UV filters rather than chemical.

Our main protective ingredient is non-nano zinc oxide. This works by creating a shield on top of the skin and reflecting UV rays rather than absorbing them. This makes it a gentler option reducing the risk of irritation often associated with chemical sunscreens.

What do the different SPF values mean?

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and refers to the level of protection against UVB rays - the rays responsible for sunburn and skin damage.

For everyday protection, dermatologists recommend SPF 30 or higher. SPF 30 blocks around 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98% - the difference in protection is actually quite small.

The most important thing is applying enough sunscreen and reapplying regularly throughout the day.

Is Stil water resistant?

Stil has not yet been formally tested for water resistance, so we recommend reapplying after swimming, sweating or towel drying.

Mineral sunscreens naturally sit on the surface of the skin, which can help them stay in place better than some chemical formulas. However, like all sunscreens, protection reduces with water exposure, sweat and normal daily wear.

For best results, reapply regularly throughout the day.

Is Stil safe for children?

Yes, Stil is suitable for children and full-term babies.

Is Stil safe for pregnant women?

Yes, Stil is suitable for pregnant women and breastfeeding mums.

How often should I apply Stil?

We recommend applying Stil every morning as the final step in your skincare routine, after moisturiser.

If you're spending time in the sun, reapply every 1–2 hours to maintain protection. After swimming or sweating, dry off and reapply. Rub in well. Let Stil do the rest.

What's the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens?

Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them into heat within the skin.

Mineral sunscreens sit on the surface and reflect UV rays away, making them a gentler option for sensitive skin and daily use.

What should my morning skincare routine look like?

Keep it simple!

Here's what we recommend (and do ourselves):

1. Cleanse
2. Moisturise
3. Apply SPF

SPF should always be applied last in your skincare routine and before makeup, to ensure full protection.
