How to use

Apply liberally and evenly to the face and neck before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours and after towel drying, swimming or perspiring.

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.
