Product Information
Full details
The Calypso Wet Skin Dry Oil Spray is designed for individuals seeking a convenient, high-performance sunscreen that functions seamlessly on both damp and dry skin. Its primary benefit is a lightweight, clear formula that absorbs instantly, providing broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection without leaving a heavy, greasy residue. A key caveat for users is that the SPF 8 rating offers lower protection than high-factor alternatives, necessitating more frequent reapplication and careful monitoring of sun exposure time.

FAQs
Can I use this on my face?
The product is formulated for the body and scalp. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.
How often should I reapply?
Reapply frequently, especially after swimming, towelling, or perspiring to ensure continued protection.
Does this leave a white cast?
No, the formula is clear and designed to be invisible once rubbed into the skin.
Is this product suitable for children?
While dermatologically tested, always consult a pediatrician regarding sun protection for young children and conduct a patch test first.
Can I apply it if my skin is already sunburnt?
It is recommended to seek shade and treat the burn; applying sunscreen to already damaged skin may not provide the necessary relief or protection.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged or not misting evenly
Rinse the nozzle tip with warm water to remove dried oil residue and wipe dry.
Skin feels sticky after application
You may have applied too much; ensure you rub the product in thoroughly and allow a moment to absorb completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is ready to use directly from the bottle with no complex setup required. Simply hold the nozzle a few inches from the skin and spray. Compatibility is broad, as it is suitable for all skin types, though we strongly recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin 24 hours before full-body use to rule out individual sensitivities. For care, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure the cap is tightly secured to prevent leakage and keep the nozzle clear of debris to maintain an even spray pattern.
