Product Information
Full details
Calypso Sun Lotion SPF10 is designed for individuals seeking light, daily sun protection who want to avoid the heavy, sticky residue common in high-SPF alternatives. This formula provides reliable UVA/UVB defense while replenishing the skin with gentle moisturizers, though it is best suited for those with a base tan or low-intensity sun exposure due to its lower SPF rating.

FAQs
Is SPF 10 enough for a full day at the beach?
No. SPF 10 is considered a low level of protection and is typically inadequate for intense, prolonged sun exposure at the beach or near reflective surfaces like water and sand.
Can I use this on my face?
Yes, it is formulated to be non-greasy and gentle, making it suitable for facial application, though you should avoid direct contact with the eyes.
How often should I reapply?
You should reapply every two hours, or immediately after towel drying, swimming, or excessive sweating.
Does this product prevent premature aging?
Yes, by providing broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection, it helps reduce the oxidative stress and damage caused by UV radiation that contributes to premature skin aging.
Is it safe for children?
While the formula is gentle, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of the skin first, or consult a pediatrician before using on young children.
Does the lotion contain fragrance?
Calypso lotions generally have a mild, pleasant scent; check the specific ingredient label on your bottle if you have known fragrance sensitivities.
Troubleshooting
White residue appearing on skin
Apply in thinner layers and massage into the skin until fully absorbed.
Lotion feels too thin
Shake the bottle thoroughly before application to ensure the emulsion remains consistent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the lotion, squeeze a generous amount into your palm and apply evenly to all exposed skin areas, ensuring you do not miss spots like the back of the neck or the tops of the feet. This product is compatible with most daily moisturizers and can be layered over serums. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade the texture of the lotion. Always check the expiration date on the packaging, as old sunscreen loses its effectiveness over time.
