SELECT IF: you spend lots of time outdoors, and want a very lightweight, high performance cream.

Extreme protection for extreme outdoor conditions.

Impressive PFAs are combined with SPFs as high as 70-90 to effectively screen out UVA and UVB rays for active protection against sun-induced skin cancer, photoaging and hyperpigmentation.

Defensive-line formula creates a unique "barrier-film," an invisible virtual "second skin," that stays on skin's surface to maintain protection integrity in and out of water, and while exposed to harsh sun and heat.

Soft, skin-coating silicones give this barrier-film an exceptionally smooth glide and keep it light, so skin stays comfortable.

To Use:

Shake well before use. Apply liberally on face and body skin, carefully avoiding membranous areas of eyes and nostrils. For best results, apply 30 to 60 minutes prior to sun exposure, especially before highly active sports.

When outdoors, reapply at least every 1 to 2 hours, after swimming or sweating and after towel drying.

Notes:

UV exposure from the sun increases the risk of skin cancer, premature skin aging and other skin damage. It is important to decrease UV exposure by limiting time in the sun, wearing protective clothing, and using a sunscreen.

UV rays from the sun are made of UVB + UVA. It is important to protect against both UVB + UVA rays to prevent sunburn and other skin damage.

As much as possible, practice sun avoidance particularly for children and the photosensitive, and especially between 10AM-2PM (10:00-14:00).

Before using any product, test a tiny amount of it on skin (we omit allergens, but you may be sensitive to an ingredient that isn't an allergen).

Introduce new products one at a time, with at least 3 days in between to make sure you are not allergic.

Do not store in extreme temperatures, or in direct sunlight.

Do not (re)introduce removed portions of product, water or other substances into product.

As with all things skin, consult your dermatologist.

Important:

For external use only on specified areas as directed.

Stop use + consult your doctor in the unlikely event of discomfort or sensitivity.

If contact with eyes occurs, flush out with plenty of water.

Keep out of reach of children. While safe for its intended use, ingesting large amounts of this product - as unattended children may do - is potentially harmful. If large quantities of this product have been ingested, get medical help right away.

It’s not simple addition. An SPF 15 powder plus an SPF 5 blush do not give you an SPF of 20. The total value would still be around SPF 15, or possibly just a little more IF different sunscreen actives are present in the blush that aren't in the powder. Read More
