FAQs

What does 'Broad Spectrum' mean?

Broad Spectrum means the sunscreen protects your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays contribute to premature aging and skin cancer, while UVB rays are the primary cause of sunburn and skin cancer.

Is this sunscreen suitable for acne-prone skin?

Yes, this sunscreen is suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone skin. Its non-greasy and fast-absorbing formula is less likely to clog pores.

What makes this sunscreen 'Reef Safe'?

This sunscreen is considered reef safe because it is formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate, which are ingredients known to potentially harm coral reefs.

How often should I reapply this SPF?

For optimal protection, you should reapply after two hours of sun exposure, and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

Can I use this sunscreen if I have sensitive skin?

This sunscreen is suitable for all skin types. However, if you have extremely sensitive skin, it's always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full application.

What are the main active ingredients?

The main active ingredients are Octisalate, Octocrylene, and Zinc oxide. These ingredients work together to absorb and filter harmful UV rays.

Does this product offer protection against blue light?

While the product offers antioxidant protection against environmental damage and UV rays, it does not specifically claim protection against blue light. Its primary function is UVA/UVB protection.

Troubleshooting

Product feels sticky after application

Ensure you are applying to clean, dry skin and allow the full 15 minutes for absorption before sun exposure or makeup application. Applying too much product can also lead to a sticky sensation; adjust the amount used.

Pilling under makeup

Make sure your skincare layers underneath are fully absorbed before applying sunscreen. Apply a smaller amount of sunscreen or try a different order of your skincare routine. Ensure the sunscreen has fully dried before applying makeup.

Skin feels slightly dry after prolonged use

While lightweight, this is a sunscreen. Ensure your pre-sunscreen skincare routine includes adequate hydration. If dryness persists, consider a richer moisturizer in your routine before sunscreen application.
