How to Use:

Face: Apply 1 large pea sized amount to face and neck in place of your antioxidant moisturiser to cleansed and/or toned skin. Aim to apply sufficient to allow the botanicals to be fairly well absorbed within about 10 minutes – the formula will continue to absorb excess oil and moisture over time. Dry skin may absorb a further pea-sized amount, oily or combination skin may not, especially if following with foundation. TIP – swap foundation for our mineral concealer to hide imperfections and reinforce SPF. 

Body: Apply as above aiming for 2-3 generous pea-size amounts per exposed limb and 3 for torso. TIPS: A hat, sunglasses and closely woven natural fabrics provide good alternative sun protection – a T-shirt = SPF 30. Seek shade from direct sun between 10 am and 3 pm.

Time exposure: As a guide for full broad spectrum protection, if your skin reddens after 10 minutes unprotected, then 2 generous pea-size amounts (SPF 30) should be reapplied after 5 hours and 1 large pea-size (SPF 15) after 2.5 hours. Always reapply after swimming, showering or towelling dry.

NOTE: Direct contact may stain light or white clothing. Rub in a little detergent before laundering as usual.    

Use with clean, dry fingers. This is a water-free cream, so is not as susceptible to bacterial contamination as a water-based lotion.

Store out of direct sunlight.
