FAQ

The SWAG STICK is packaged in an easy-to-use tube with a no-mess wand applicator. Use the wand evenly to apply the face paint / eye black directly to your skin in the pattern you desire

Athletes love to apply SWAG STICK in a thick, bold style, so the more you use, the quicker you’ll need a refill. That said, a little goes a long way, so while we can’t guarantee a certain amount of applications, most athletes find one tube of SWAG STICK lasting an entire season [assuming one game per week].

Because we do not use harsh preservatives, SWAG STICK is good for 1 year after opening.

Short answer, yes. WHEN WET, SWAG STICK will stain clothing and fabric. However, once FULLY DRY, it will NOT stain! Once dry, it is safe to use a skin wipe, towel, or washcloth to remove the face paint / eye black without worrying about staining. SWAG STICK will NOT stain your skin, either!

Yes, our face paint / eye black is 80% made in the U.S.A. Our ingredients, as well as the face paint / eye black, are hand mixed in the U.S.A. The tubes are made overseas. Unfortunately, we have not found a company in the USA that will make our style tubes.

YES! SWAG STICK is completely non-carcinogenic and is safe for children to use. As with any product, we recommend doing a skin test first by placing a small amount on the inside of your child’s arm to ensure no adverse side effects. ***TEST FIRST IF ALLERGIC TO LATEX*** This product is for external use only and should not enter eyes or mouth. If the productcomes into contact with the eyes or mouth, immediately flush with running water.

We do not use the terms “hypo-allergenic” or “natural” since we feel they are used on many products as a generic marketing term. The FDA does not provide a definition or set of criteria for a product to be considered hypoallergenic. As the FDA website puts it, “the term means whatever a particular company wants it to mean.” People are sensitive and allergic to many different ingredients, even truly natural ones. However, SWAG STICK does not contain any of the common cosmetic allergens such as fragrances and synthetic dyes. This is why SWAG STICK is considered safe and gentle on skin, and typically does not cause irritation or itching.

YES! SWAG STICK is completely free from peanut and egg ingredients.

Our products do contain a minute amount of latex based ingredient. If you do have a sensitivity to latex, we advise doing a small test patch on the inside of your arm.

Freezing temperatures will cause the face paint / eye black to freeze. If freezing occurs, let thaw at room temperature. DO NOT try to remove the wand applicator until fully thawed out to avoid breakage. As with many skin products, we do recommend keeping your SWAG STICK stored at room temperature. Once applied, SWAG STICK will not freeze on skin.

YES! Since SWAG STICK dries to a smooth, smudge-proof finish with no greasy feel, powdered makeup can be applied directly on top.

Simply put – SWAG STICK is going to give you a bolder look, without the mess, and after the game, it is much easier to remove. A few simple wipes with a skin wipe or wet towel, and you’re ready to go. However…if you like scrubbing grease based face paint and eye black off your skin for what seems like hours, we’d advise you to not try SWAG STICK and keep rubbing your skin raw…

YES! Ordering 3 or more tubes will get you a Discount!

NO! Our products are made with ingredients that when formulated into SWAG STICK, are sweat and water resistant. This means that when you sweat or get wet, our face paint / eye black will not come off. Only when pressure and constant rubbing is involved will SWAG STICK start to come off. In order to avoid the face paint / eye black coming off when sweat or water is present, we recommend blotting with a towel or article of clothing, rather than wiping.

Nanoparticles are found in Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. The long term health risks of nanoparticles remain poorly understood. The likely exposure in ‘real life’ conditions is also unknown. But early studies have suggested that if exposure is high enough, nanoparticles are now used by the cosmetics industry could cause lung damage, cell toxicity, damage DNA, and possibly even harm unborn children.
