To Use

Apply liberally before sun exposure, as well as every day, both indoors and outdoors, on face and body skin, carefully avoiding membranous areas of eyes and nostrils. Spread and blend well.

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

Unless otherwise instructed by your pediatrician, sun avoidance is best for babies. Keep children out of the sun as much as possible. For children who need controlled sun exposure, follow your pediatrician's directions.

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.

Practice sun avoidance - particularly for children and the photosensitive, and especially between 10 A.M. and 2 P.M. (10:00-14:00) - as much as possible.

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.

1) Babies, Children, Teens: What Products Should I Use On My Kids' Skin? When Should I Use Them?

New moms take heed: it's never too early to start skin care. For babies, this mostly means prevention: the more hypoallergenic products you use, the less skin irritations now (read: one less reason for sleepless nights) and later (he'll thank you for a pockmark-free face at prom). Because sun damage is cumulative, it's a good idea to start sun protection too. As in all things baby, follow your pediatrician's instructions.

3) AHAs, BHAs: Therapy At The Cellular Level

Skin care that works on the skin's surface isn't a bad thing. Superficial moisturizers can help skin feel softer and more comfortable. Physical sunscreens are not absorbed by the skin and are therefore ideal for infants and adults who are sensitive to chemical sunscreens. And it's always advisable to use products that can be washed off easily, leaving no potentially-irritating or pore-clogging residue.
