FAQs

What is the SPF and PA rating of this sunscreen?

This sunscreen offers SPF 50+ and PA++++, providing very high protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

Is the cooling effect suitable for sensitive skin?

The sunscreen contains a mint cooling formula. While designed to be refreshing, individuals with very sensitive skin might want to perform a patch test first, as mint can sometimes cause irritation.

Can I use this sunscreen on my face and body?

Yes, this sunscreen is suitable for both face and body application. It is designed for daily use and outdoor enthusiasts.

How often should I reapply this sunscreen?

Reapplication is recommended at least every two hours, and immediately after swimming, towel drying, or sweating profusely to maintain optimal sun protection.

Does this sunscreen leave a greasy feeling?

No, the formula has been upgraded to inhibit stickiness and feels thin and silky on the skin. It forms a fast film and is not sticky, even with makeup.

How do I remove the sunscreen?

You can remove this sunscreen using any general facial cleanser or body wash. Rinse thoroughly with water.

What are the key ingredients for skin soothing?

It contains glycyrrhetinic acid, which is an anti-inflammatory ingredient, along with various plant extracts known to calm sun-irritated skin.

Troubleshooting

Sunscreen feels sticky after application.

Ensure you have shaken the product well before use. Apply a thinner layer and allow it a moment to set. This formula is designed to minimize stickiness, but excessive amounts can increase the sensation.

Cooling effect is not noticeable.

Shake the bottle vigorously before dispensing. The mint cooling agents may not be evenly distributed if the product is not properly mixed.

White cast or residue on skin.

Apply a smaller amount and blend more thoroughly. Ensure even application across all areas. The formula is designed to be sheer, but excessive amounts can leave a slight cast.

Sunscreen seems to be washing off easily despite claims.

Reapply after swimming or significant sweating. While water-resistant, it is not entirely waterproof and requires reapplication for continuous protection in wet conditions.
