FAQs
What is TFC8® technology?
TFC8® (Trigger Factor Complex 7) is a proprietary blend of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins, and molecules synthesized to support skin's natural renewal processes, promoting hydration and a healthier skin barrier.
Can I use The Solar Shield on my face?
The Solar Shield is specifically formulated for body application. While it offers excellent protection, Augustinus Bader may offer face-specific SPF products that are optimized for facial skin concerns and textures.
How much product should I use?
Apply generously and evenly to all exposed areas of the body. A general guideline is about one ounce (a shot glass full) for the entire body to achieve the stated SPF 50 protection.
How often should I reapply The Solar Shield?
Reapply at least every two hours, and immediately after swimming, towel drying, or perspiring heavily to maintain effective sun protection.
Does The Solar Shield leave a white cast?
No, The Solar Shield is designed to be a lightweight cream that absorbs quickly, leaving an invisible, non-greasy finish without a white cast.
What is the shelf life of this product?
Typically, sunscreen products have a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored properly. Check the packaging for a specific expiration date or PAO (Period After Opening) symbol.
Is this product water-resistant?
The product description does not specify water resistance. It is recommended to reapply after swimming or heavy sweating to ensure continued protection.
Troubleshooting
Product feels heavy or leaves a slight residue.
Ensure you are applying to clean, dry skin. Apply a thinner layer or try applying immediately after moisturizing while skin is still slightly damp to aid absorption. Allow a few minutes for it to fully sink in before dressing.
Skin appears slightly shiny after application.
While formulated for a radiant finish, if excessive shine is a concern, lightly dust with a translucent setting powder after the product has absorbed. For very oily skin, consider using it only on drier areas of the body.
Product does not seem to provide adequate sun protection.
Ensure you are applying a sufficient amount (approximately 2mg per cm² of skin) and covering all exposed areas uniformly. Reapply every two hours, and especially after swimming or heavy sweating. Check the expiration date of the product.
