How to use

Apply generously as the last step in your skincare routine. Wait 15 mins before UV exposure. Re-apply every 2 hours.

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.
