FAQs

Will this sunscreen make my skin white?

Yes, some. When used properly, zinc oxide gives skin a visible whitish hue. The ability to see the sunscreen on the skin is especially useful to parents as they need to see where skin is protected and where they need to apply.

When will this sunscreen expire?

Technically, 3 years from purchase, but the useful life of our sunscreens has no practical limit since our active ingredient, zinc oxide, is a mineral and does not lose its sunscreen capabilities over time, EVER. However, the FDA requires all sunscreen products to list a 3-year shelf life (mainly because petrochemical active ingredients in common sunscreens degrade quickly, even on the shelf).

How long does a gallon of sunscreen last?

The longevity of our gallon sunscreen depends on usage, but it's designed to last the entire season. You'll be amazed by its economic benefits and exceptional effectiveness.

A little goes a long way and you can see exactly where you’re applying it. Here are videos to show how to apply.

Step 1: Shake to mix
Our sunscreens lack chemicals to keep ingredients homogenized, so a bit of liquid may squirt from the pump before the sunscreen appears. This is OK, and there’s nothing wrong with your sunscreen. Just shake the jug and try again.

Step 2: Dot sunscreen onto the skin in sections
Put sunscreen on your fingertips and apply it in small dots on sections of the face. Dot and spread with fingertips or a makeup sponge.
