Frequently Asked Questions

What sunscreen is best for sports?

For sports, you’llneed a sunscreen that’s water-resistant,and provides broad-spectrum protection. Look for a mineral sunscreen with active ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which are less likely to irritate the skin. We recommend our Swim & Sport Mineral Sunscreens as they’re designed to withstand physical activity.

Is sport sunscreen better than regular sunscreen?

Sport sunscreen is specifically designed for more intense activity, offering better resistance to sweat and water. While regular sunscreen works well for everyday use, sport sunscreens tend to be more durable and provide longer-lasting protection during activities like swimming, running, or other sports. So, if you're active or spending extended time outdoors, sport sunscreen is a great choice! Just be sure to reapply as needed.

What is water resistant sunscreen?

While no sunscreen is completely "waterproof," many sunscreens are labeled as "water-resistant," meaning they provide protection for a certain amount of time while exposed to water or sweat. Sunscreens that list water resistance are third-party tested for water resistance in order to make that claim, and you can check the label for the timeframe of water resistance it has been tested against.

The 40 minutes or 80 minutes water resistance label is an indicator of when you need to reapply your sunscreen to stay protected. Look for sunscreens with water resistance if you plan to swim or be active outdoors, and remember to reapply after swimming or according to the water resistance information!

Does water resistant sunscreen work when swimming?

“Water-resistant” sunscreen is specially formulated to stay effective on the skin when exposed to water or sweat—but only for a limited time. It doesn’t mean the sunscreen is waterproof (no sunscreen is), but rather that it maintains its SPF protection for a certain duration while you're swimming or sweating. The label will indicate one of two timeframes:

40 minutes
80 minutes

This means: The sunscreen maintains its Sun Protection Factor (SPF) for up to 40 or 80 minutes in water. After that time, you need to reapply to stay protected.

How to remove water resistant sunscreen

To remove water-resistant sunscreen, start by using an oil-based cleanser or a makeup remover to break down the sunscreen. Massage it into your skin, focusing on areas where sunscreen is more concentrated. Then, rinse with warm water and follow up with a gentle cleanser to remove any remaining residue. This method ensures your skin is thoroughly clean without stripping it.
