As with anything in life, don't over do it where the sun is concerned.

This sun screen is pretty good but you have to follow the guidelines to get the most benefit. Wear a hat. Limit exposure. Keep sensitive areas covered.

While Red Raspberry Seed Oil has for many years been used as an effective sunscreen, there are a few things you need to know in order to use it to the greatest benefit. It is not a good idea to use it when sunning on a sandy beach or on open water, the suns energy is powerful in these settings, and it is best to use a commercial brand with zinc or titanium oxides. This is especially true if you have very pale skin and are prone to easy sunburn.

• Safe to use on facial skin.
• Dispense a small amount to your fingertips and apply to your skin.
• Work in sections, being careful not to apply too much as only a small amount is necessary.
• Reapply every hour or so, more often if the sun is intense.
• Reapply after swimming or moderate perspiration (like all sunscreens).
• If you use it on your children, please monitor them closely to make sure they are protected.

Prudent Caution For Certain Skin Types: And finally if you have very fair skin or prone to skin cancers please cover up with long sleeves and a hat. Also it's advised that you use a sunscreen with Zinc Oxide :: just to be on the safe side.

We always do.
