And since the point of SPF is to protect your skin, the last thing you want to do is compromise its efficacy\u2014which, yes, can happen over the course of a quick weekend trip. For example, &#8220;a cosmetic scientist Ava Perkins <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CsXbrj2L6ej\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CsXbrj2L6ej\/\">tested some mineral sunscreens<\/a> and found that it only took a few days for some of the samples to harden, so changes can happen quite quickly,&#8221; says Dr. Wong.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CsXbrj2L6ej\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>Learn about the three different reasons why putting your sunscreen in a travel container is a big no-no, and browse a few travel-friendly (and Amazon Prime-eligible!) sunscreen options.<\/p>\n<h2>Why you should never decant your sunscreen<\/h2>\n<h3>1. It can react with the container<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Lots of ingredients in sunscreens are good solvents, so they can often react with plastics or soak into it,&#8221; says Dr. Wong. &#8220;This means what&#8217;s left in the sunscreen lotion will be different, and how it spreads on the skin will change. So you might not end up with the same level of protection as before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>2. It doesn&#8217;t have as good of protection against sunlight and air<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The container your sunscreen came in might be designed to protect the sunscreen from air and light, so the new container might not work as well,&#8221; says Dr. Wong. &#8220;The light can break down some of the ingredients or cause separation of the emulsion, which means the sunscreen might not protect as well as it should.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/travel-friendly-sunscreen\/\" current-title=\"Why a Cosmetic Chemist Is Begging You Not To Transfer Your Sunscreen Into Travel Containers\" current-image=\"A-woman-laying-in-the-sun-with-a-bottle-of-sunscreen-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-11-25\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/travel-friendly-sunscreen\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/travel-friendly-sunscreen\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/travel-friendly-sunscreen\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>3. You can potentially contaminate the sunscreen<\/h3>\n<p>Pulling out a dusty container and swishing around some hot water isn&#8217;t enough to prep a travel container for SPF. That&#8217;s because any microbes present also have the power to degrade your sunscreen&#8217;s efficacy. &#8220;As well as potential reactions and changing the composition of the sunscreen, putting your sunscreen in a travel container can introduce microbes that might contaminate the sunscreen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>5 travel-friendly sunscreen options<\/h2>\n<div class=\"theme-main-2020\">\n<div class=\"wg-inline-shopable\">\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-vars-info=\"EltaMD%2C+UV+Stick+Face+and+Body+Sunscreen%2C+SPF+50%2B\" href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FEltaMD-Sunscreen-Broad-Spectrum-Water-Resistant-Oil-Free%2Fdp%2FB09HWN3STC%2F%3Ftag%3Dwgtrx1019-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.wellandgood.com%252Ftravel-friendly-sunscreen%252F%26asc_source%3Ddirect%26asc_campaign%3Dno-campaign&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Ftravel-friendly-sunscreen%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/EltaMD-Sunscreen-Broad-Spectrum-Water-Resistant-Oil-Free\/dp\/B09HWN3STC\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/EltaMD-UV-Stick-Face-and-Body-Sunscreen-SPF-50EltaMD-UV-Stick-Face-and-Body-Sunscreen-SPF-50_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\" class=\"block w-full no-pin\" alt=\"\"\/> <\/a><figcaption class=\"text-center text-caption--article text-gray-light block mt-[10px]\"\/> <\/figure>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FEltaMD-Sunscreen-Broad-Spectrum-Water-Resistant-Oil-Free%2Fdp%2FB09HWN3STC%2F%3Ftag%3Dwgtrx1019-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.wellandgood.com%252Ftravel-friendly-sunscreen%252F%26asc_source%3Ddirect%26asc_campaign%3Dno-campaign&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Ftravel-friendly-sunscreen%2F&amp;event_type=click\" class=\"wg-inline-shopable__subtitle-link\" data-vars-event=\"product name\" data-vars-info=\"EltaMD%2C+UV+Stick+Face+and+Body+Sunscreen%2C+SPF+50%2B\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/EltaMD-Sunscreen-Broad-Spectrum-Water-Resistant-Oil-Free\/dp\/B09HWN3STC\/\"> <\/p>\n<p>EltaMD, UV Stick Face and Body Sunscreen, SPF 50+ \u2014 $35.00<\/p>\n<p> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"text-big mb-[5px] wg-inline-shopable__content mt-[10px]\">\n<p>IMO, the best travel skin-care options are stick formulas.
