Does this have moisturizing properties for drier skin?

Hi Angela, Compared to our facial/everyday sunscreens, I'd say our Sport Stick formula is not quite as moisturizing. Both use 25% non-nano zinc oxide (the most allowed), but whereas the Stick (the product you're asking about) has inactive ingredients of certified organic coconut oil and significant amounts of certified organic beeswax (making it very thick and extremely water/sweat resistant), along with certified organic cocoa for color, the facial/everyday formula has Spring Water and certified organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter, along with Vegetable Glycerine, Vegetable Emulsifying Wax (from coconuts), Non-GMO Vegetable Vitamin E (non-GMO from sunflower seeds), and natural Iron Oxides for color (both our tints can stain clothing, by the way). These ingredients are extremely moisturizing, while the stick ingredients are moderately moisturizing. In short, if you're going to be in high-sweat activities like running, yard work, biking, surfing/swimming in direct sun, then the stick formula (which far exceeds the FDA's max 80-minute water resistance rating) is the best choice, but if you're simply "out and about" and not sweating during a "normal" day and you want maximum moisturizing, then the facial/everyday is better. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to let me know. You can always contact me through our Amazon portal (I'll be glad to give you my direct line if you need to discuss) or reach out via our website. Shannon Kenner

When dose this sunscreen expire?

Officially, our sunscreens "expire" 2 years after purchase date. However, this is based on FDA directives mainly concerned with the effective life of petrochemicals in common sunscreens. Our Waxhead sunscreens use non-nano un-coated zinc oxide as their sole active ingredient, and since this is mineral based, our sunscreens' ability to perform its function of defending against UVA and UVB rays never diminishes. Our inactive ingredients, for our sport stick these are certified organic versions of coconut oil, beeswax and vanilla, contain significant amounts of naturally occurring anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, which significantly slow any spoilage. In short, our sunscreens will work as long as they're owned. We really appreciate your support, and if there's anything else we can help you with, don't hesitate to ask.

Is it good for acne prone skin?

Absolutely good for oily skin...actually best very oily skin verses dry skin...and it totally protects from burning in Maui when we were constantly in water with snorkelling and scuba. Also try the warhead lip stick.

How long does this last? How many applications?

I couldn’t say, I haven’t even got to the bottom of mine! A little goes far. I use this on my face and my daughters; we are both very fair and burn easily. I used it on us both everyday for 8 days, reapplying throughout the day and still have some left.
