Usage
Apply generously and evenly to clean, dry skin before sun exposure, ensuring all exposed areas are fully covered.
Use sufficient quantity; as a guide, apply at least 1/2 teaspoon for the face, 1 teaspoon for each arm, slightly more for each leg, and 2 teaspoons each for the front and back of the torso where appropriate.
Allow the lotion to absorb fully into the skin before dressing or going into the sun.
Re-apply every 1–2 hours to maintain protection, especially after swimming, perspiring, or towel-drying.
Apply 15–30 minutes before sun exposure where possible to allow optimal film formation.
Avoid contact with eyes, fabrics and painted surfaces; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.
Do not apply to broken, inflamed or severely irritated skin.
Even when using Delph Sun Lotion SPF50, avoid excessive sun exposure and seek shade between 11:00 and 15:00.
Use protective clothing, hats and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen, particularly in strong sunlight.
Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight; use sunscreen only as part of a broader sun-avoidance strategy for children.
