Apply before sun exposure

Correct use, without the mineral sunscreen struggle
Start with a manageable scoop so the cream is easy to spread. Then keep adding until every exposed area has liberal, complete, and even coverage.
Keep this part simple
Application technique should make mineral sunscreen easier to blend. It should never become a reason to use less than the label directs.
Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Start with one area, blend, then keep adding product until all exposed skin has complete, even coverage.
Keep it out of your eyes and do not use it on damaged or broken skin. For children under six months of age, ask a doctor.

Questions, answered
Start with the questions customers ask most. For exact regulated directions and warnings, use the complete Drug Facts on the Ingredients page.
Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Scoop a small portion first so the cream is easy to spread, then keep adding it in layers until every exposed area has complete, even coverage. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every two hours. Use shade, protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses too.
Use enough to cover every exposed area liberally and evenly. FDA's general benchmark says an average-sized adult or child needs at least one ounce—about a shot glass—to cover the body from head to toe. The amount you use will vary with body size and how much skin is exposed.
Starting with a small scoop makes the cream easier to spread. It does not mean using less sunscreen overall. Keep adding product until all exposed skin has liberal, complete, and even coverage.
Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every two hours.
It is Water Resistant (80 Minutes), not waterproof. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every two hours.
Yes. Simple Sunscreen is for face and body. Keep it out of your eyes and do not use it on damaged or broken skin.
Follow the Drug Facts directions. For children under six months of age, ask a doctor. Keep the can out of children's reach and supervise application so coverage is complete and the product does not get into their eyes or mouth.
Zinc Oxide, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Candelilla Wax, Jojoba Oil, Arrowroot Powder, Olive Oil, Propolis, and Tallow.
No. Simple Sunscreen contains Tallow, Beeswax, and Propolis, so it is not vegan.
It has no added fragrance, parabens, or added preservatives. “No added” is an ingredient statement; it does not mean that reactions are impossible or that preservatives in other products are inherently harmful.
No. Zinc Oxide is Simple Sunscreen's only active ingredient. It does not contain chemical sunscreen active ingredients such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, avobenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, or octisalate.
It is a scoopable cream designed to rub in fast and dry to a comfortable matte finish, without the gritty, sticky feel many shoppers associate with mineral sunscreen.
No white cast when applied as directed. Start with a thin layer, blend it in, then add more until you have full, even coverage. Because the formula contains 25% Zinc Oxide, a little goes farther than you may expect.
Protect the product in its container from excessive heat and direct sun. A bag, drawer, pocket, car, or glovebox may be convenient, but only when that location will not expose the can to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
