Pharmacology

This lotion is a non-greasy, water resistant sun block that helps prevent sunburn on all types of skin. It gives a high degree of protection against the harmful ultraviolet parts of sunlight, which are responsible for skin cancer, wrinkling, premature ageing and darkening of the skin from overexposure.

The lotion provides a sun protection factor (SPF) of 6 against UVA rays and 28 against UVB rays. SPF tells you how much longer you can stay in the sun without being affected by these rays, compared with unprotected skin. So you get 28 times more natural sunburn protection, and the lotion keeps its level of protection for up to 60 minutes in water.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Use this lotion only if the expected benefit is greater than the risk.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: Apply this lotion carefully and evenly on the skin before you go out in the sun. If you plan to swim or do exercise that makes you sweat, put it on 45 minutes beforehand. One application may protect you through the whole day, but you should apply it again during long periods in the sun and after swimming or heavy sweating.
