How to Use

Dispense in hand and apply to body. We recommend working from head to toe so you don't accidentally miss a limb. If you need help reaching your back, ask a friend— that's what they're for. Apply sunscreen liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and allow it to absorb. Reapply at least every two hours. Apply more frequently after swimming/sweating, or after an aggressive towel dry. Always offer to share.

How often should I reapply?

Avoid making a rookie mistake! Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating and toweling off.

Icon
Do I need sunscreen when it’s cloudy?

Yup, 90% of UV rays still find their way through clouds, which means you can still get fried.

Icon
When should I avoid sun?

We know it’s tough, but try to limit sun exposure when the sun’s rays are most intense (10am to 4pm).

Icon
Do I need SPF in the snow and water?

Yep. Reflections off water and snow can increase sun exposure by up to 50%. Keep that in mind when you’re surfing or on the slopes.

Does my newborn need protection too?

Keep newborns out of direct sunlight and always cover them with shade. Check with your pediatrician, before applying sunscreen to children under 6 months.

We've Got Answers

How Often Should You Apply Sunscreen Lotion?

Every 80 minutes is the sweet spot. Sunscreen breaks down over time (especially if you're swimming, sweating, or drying off), so reapplying every two hours keeps your skin protected and happy. Keep a bottle nearby—beach bag, car, backpack, whatever—so you can take your skincare and suncare to-go. Your skin will thank you.

Which Is Better, Sunscreen Lotion or Cream?

It depends on what your skin’s into. Sunscreen lotion is usually lighter, so it spreads easier and feels less sticky—great for everyday use or when you're on the go. Creams are thicker and more moisturizing, which makes them a solid pick for dry or sensitive skin. Both get the job done, so it really comes down to how your skin vibes with the texture.

How Do You Choose Sunscreen Lotion?

First up: check that it’s broad-spectrum and SPF 30 or higher. That’s your baseline. If you’ve got dry skin, look for hydrating ingredients. Sensitive? Go fragrance-free. And if you’re headed into the water, make sure it’s water-resistant. The best sunscreen is the one you’llactually want to wear—so find one that feels good on your skin and fits seamlessly into your daily scene.
