FAQs

While the lotion provides strong UV protection, it is recommended to reapply after swimming or heavy exercise to ensure the SPF50 coverage remains intact.
Can I use this on my face?

Does it contain synthetic fragrances?
No, the fragrance comes from natural botanical oils including spearmint leaf and lavender.
Is this product vegan and cruelty-free?
Aesop is committed to cruelty-free practices and does not test on animals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum effectiveness, apply the lotion liberally 15 to 20 minutes before sun exposure to allow the product to form a protective film. For daily maintenance, keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the botanical ingredients. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or excessive perspiration, to maintain the SPF50 efficacy. The 150ml tube is travel-friendly but should be kept sealed tightly to prevent oxidation of the essential oils.
