Product Information
Full details
The Body Shop Skin Defence Hydrating Hand & Body Protector is designed for individuals seeking a high-level daily sun defense that doubles as a lightweight moisturizer for the hands and body. Its standout benefit is the combination of SPF50 protection with a non-greasy, fast-absorbing texture that leaves an invisible finish, making it perfect for year-round skin maintenance. A key caveat to keep in mind is that this formula is strictly formulated for the body and hands and is not intended for use on the delicate skin of the face.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is ready for immediate use upon purchase. No specialized setup is required. To maintain the integrity of the SPF formula, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, such as a bathroom cabinet or drawer. Ensure the cap is snapped shut securely after every use to prevent the moisturizer from drying out or leaking. Always conduct a patch test on a small area of your skin before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin, to ensure compatibility.
