How to use

Apply daily, as the last step in your morning skincare routine before makeup application. Shake the bottle before using, then dispense and smooth evenly and generously over face and neck, at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Wear alone or under makeup.

Red does not mean poison. Preservatives that stop a product going off, UV filters and fragrance can land on yellow or red depending on their score.

Green does not mean right for you. Skin and allergies differ from person to person. Treat the color as a starting point.
