Product Information
Full details
The Bask Suncare Sheer SPF 30 lotion is designed for anyone seeking effective, reef-friendly sun protection that feels lightweight on the skin. Its key benefit is providing broad-spectrum UVA/UVB defense while being water and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it ideal for active individuals and daily use. A minor consideration is its SPF level, which is suitable for moderate sun exposure but may require reapplication more frequently during prolonged or intense sun activities.

Troubleshooting
Sunscreen feels sticky or leaves a residue
Ensure you are applying the correct amount. Allow the lotion to fully absorb into the skin before dressing or applying makeup. Shaking the bottle before use can also help ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Skin irritation after application
Although formulated for sensitive skin, discontinue use if irritation persists. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full application, especially if you have known sensitivities.
Sunscreen washes off easily in water
Remember that this product is water-resistant for 80 minutes. Reapply sunscreen after swimming or heavy sweating, and immediately after towel drying, to maintain protection.
Product separates in the bottle
Shake the bottle well before each use. This helps to re-emulsify the ingredients and ensure consistent protection.
