Troubleshooting
Sunscreen leaves a white cast
Apply a smaller amount first and rub it in thoroughly. Allow it to set for a few minutes, then apply a second, lighter layer if needed. Ensure skin is dry before application.
Sunscreen feels greasy
Apply a thinner layer and ensure it is fully rubbed into the skin. Allow adequate time for absorption before dressing.
Skin irritation after use
Discontinue use and consult the ingredient list for potential allergens. For infants under 6 months, always consult a physician before use.
