Singapore’s sun doesn’t play around – especially when it comes to young people who are out on the field or court for hours. Whether it’s soccer, baseball or track, kiddos are constantly exposed to UV rays, putting their skin at risk of sunburn and long-term damage. But what if sun protection could be part of the game – and a fun way to express yourself? Enter Shiner Sticks by Starr’d Athletics, a first-of-its-kind moisturising sunscreen in Singapore (SPF30 no less!) designed by an athlete, for athletes.
Founded by Dani Sedlak, a soccer coach and mum, Starr’d was born out of a real need: skin protection that actually works for active kids. Unlike greasy, hard-to-reapply sunscreen, Shiner Sticks glide on smoothly, stay put through sweat, and wash off cleanly – all while offering SPF30 sunscreen protection. Plus, they come in fun colours that let athletes show off their personality while staying safe in the sun.
Inspired by American baseball and football players who have long used face paint for sun protection, Shiner Sticks are compact, easy to carry, and simple to apply – no mess, just protection. They shield young athletes from harmful rays while still allowing them to feel confident and comfortable. It’s sunscreen reimagined – not just a product, but part of the athletic experience. Game on!
Shiner Sticks come in three dual-colour combinations – Pink and Gold, Pink and Blue, and Gold and Blue – and are priced at $15 each (or three for $40). A perfect gift for young Ronaldos, Verlanders or Raducanus who want to protect their skin and stand out from the crowd!
A word from a client on this sunscreen
“My boys love using Shiner Sticks – it gives them the ‘drip’ and self-expression they’re looking for on the field. And I love them because they protect my kids from the sun with SPF, while also moisturising. In fact, I’ve used these a few times to give myself some sun protection with a flattering tint while I’m on the tennis court!” – Allie Letz, American
