FAQs

What does SPF 50 mean?

SPF 50 indicates that the sunscreen will protect your skin from 98% of the sun's UVB rays. It is considered a high level of sun protection.

How does the Smart Cap® technology work?

The Smart Cap® contains a special element that changes color when exposed to harmful UV light. This serves as a visual reminder to apply or reapply your sunscreen.

Is this sunscreen suitable for children?

This specific product is marketed as a 'Sheer Face Mineral Sunscreen' and is formulated for adult facial use. Blue Lizard offers other formulas specifically designed for children.

What are 'Australian Botanicals'?

These are plant-derived ingredients native to Australia, known for their antioxidant and skin-beneficial properties. Specific botanicals may vary but contribute to the overall protective and nourishing qualities of the sunscreen.

Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?

Yes, you can wear makeup over this sunscreen. For best results, allow the sunscreen to absorb into the skin for a few minutes before applying your foundation or other makeup products.

How long is this sunscreen water-resistant?

This sunscreen is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. You should reapply it after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, and immediately after towel drying.

What does 'non-comedogenic' mean?

Non-comedogenic means the product is formulated not to clog pores, which is important for facial skincare to prevent breakouts.

Does this sunscreen contain Octinoxate or Oxybenzone?

No, this sunscreen is formulated without Octinoxate or Oxybenzone, making it a reef-friendly option.

Troubleshooting

Sunscreen leaves a white cast

Ensure the product is shaken well before application. Apply a small amount at a time and gently pat or rub it into the skin until fully absorbed. Allow a few minutes for it to set before applying makeup.

Smart Cap® not changing color

The Smart Cap® requires direct UV exposure to change color. Ensure the cap is clean and has been exposed to sunlight for a few minutes. It may not change color in low light or indoor conditions.

Skin irritation or redness

Although designed for sensitive skin, discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a dermatologist. Ensure you are not sensitive to any specific botanical ingredients.

Sunscreen feels sticky or heavy

Apply a thinner layer and ensure it is fully absorbed before layering other products or dressing. For very oily skin, consider blotting any excess shine after application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the mineral active ingredients are evenly dispersed.

Compatibility: This sunscreen is formulated for use on the face and is compatible with most skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It can be worn under makeup, though allowing it to fully absorb first is recommended for a smoother application.

Care:

  4. Expiration: Check the expiration date on the packaging. Discard expired product.
