Extended Product Information

FAQs

What level of sun exposure is 'moderate'?

Moderate sun exposure typically refers to situations like being outdoors for a few hours on a sunny day during spring or autumn, or periods of light to moderate sun in summer, but not prolonged exposure during peak hours (e.g., 11 am to 4 pm).

Can I use this product for intense beach holidays?

No, this product is specifically formulated for *moderate sun exposure*. For intense sun or prolonged beach holidays, a higher SPF product designed for strong sun conditions is recommended.

Is this product suitable for children?

This product is designed for adult facial skin. General advice states that babies and young children should not be exposed to direct sunlight, and appropriate sun protection for them should be used.

How does this product help with tanning?

It contains ingredients that stimulate and optimize your skin's natural melanin production, helping you achieve a faster, more even, and longer-lasting tan while protecting against sun damage.

Does this product prevent sunburn entirely?

While it offers significant protection (filtering 93% of UVB rays), it is crucial to follow general sun safety practices. No sunscreen can offer 100% protection, especially when used improperly or for extended periods in strong sun.

Can I wear makeup over this product?

Yes, the cream has a texture that allows for comfortable wear under makeup once it has been allowed to absorb into the skin for approximately 20 minutes.

Troubleshooting

Skin still burns despite using the product

Ensure the product was applied generously and at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply frequently, especially after swimming or sweating. Note that this product is for *moderate sun exposure only* and may not offer sufficient protection for intense sun. Adhere to general sun safety advice, such as avoiding peak sun hours and seeking shade.

Product feels heavy or greasy on the skin

Apply a smaller amount and ensure it is spread evenly. Allow 20 minutes for the product to absorb before sun exposure. If the issue persists, consider if your skin type is particularly oily and if this product's formulation is the best fit for your needs under moderate sun conditions.

Difficulty achieving an even tan

Ensure the product is applied evenly across all exposed areas. Consistent reapplication is key. Remember that the product optimizes your natural tan; individual tanning results can vary based on skin type and sun exposure intensity.
