Full details

The Ultrasun Face and Scalp UV Protection Mist is designed for anyone needing convenient, high-level sun protection for their face and scalp, especially for on-the-go reapplication. Its key benefit lies in its broad-spectrum, non-sticky, and sensitive-skin friendly formula that can be used over makeup.

FAQs

Can I use this product on my body?

While primarily designed for the face and scalp, the Ultrasun Face Mist provides high UV protection and is safe for use on other small, exposed areas of the body if needed. However, for larger body areas, a dedicated body sunscreen is typically more economical and easier to apply evenly.

How often should I reapply the mist?

For optimal protection, reapply the mist generously throughout the day, especially after prolonged sun exposure, swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying. As a general guideline, reapplication every two hours is recommended, or more frequently in intense sun.

Is this product suitable for children?

The formulation is super sensitive and hypo-allergenic, making it suitable for sensitive skin. However, for very young children or infants, it's always best to consult with a pediatrician before using any new sun protection product and to prioritize shade and protective clothing.

Will this mist make my makeup smudge or run?

The mist is formulated to be lightweight and non-sticky, making it suitable for application over makeup. When applying over makeup, spray from the recommended 15cm distance with a light, even hand, and allow it to set for a minute or two. It typically sets without smudging, providing a fresh finish.

What does 'Lamellar Technology' mean?

Lamellar technology refers to a unique formulation that creates a continuous, even, and long-lasting protective layer on the skin. This technology ensures the UV filters are distributed uniformly and remain stable, providing superior and extended protection, while also helping to prevent prickly heat.

Is this product truly 'reef friendly'?

Yes, the Ultrasun Face Mist is formulated without ingredients known to be harmful to coral reefs, such as oxybenzone and octinoxate. This makes it an ocean-safe choice for environmentally conscious users.

Can I use this if I have oily or acne-prone skin?

Given its non-sticky, lightweight, and non-comedogenic (not pore-clogging, though not explicitly stated, implied by 'non-sticky' and 'lightness') characteristics, along with being free from common irritants like mineral oils and alcohol, it is generally well-suited for oily or acne-prone skin types. Its transparent finish also avoids a heavy feel.

Troubleshooting

Mist feels uneven or patchy after application.

Ensure you are spraying from the recommended minimum distance of 15cm and using a horizontal movement across the entire face. A consistent, sweeping motion helps achieve even coverage. Try practicing the spray technique in front of a mirror to ensure full face coverage.

Skin feels sticky or greasy after applying the mist.

While designed to be non-sticky, applying too much product at once or from too close a distance can sometimes lead to a slightly heavy feeling. Try reducing the amount sprayed in one go or ensure the 15cm distance is maintained. Allow a few moments for the mist to fully absorb and dry.

Mist isn't spraying or nozzle is blocked.

Check if the nozzle is clean. If blocked, gently wipe the nozzle with a damp cloth. If it still doesn't spray, ensure the can is not empty and try shaking it vigorously before attempting to spray again. Do not attempt to force or poke the nozzle with sharp objects.
