Safety and storage

• For external use only. Avoid the eyes; if it gets in, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical advice if needed.
• Applying too little reduces the level of protection.
• Do not stay too long in the sun, even when using sunscreen. Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight.
• Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

Sunscreen is one part of sun safety. Also use shade, clothing, a hat and sunglasses, and avoid the strongest midday sun.
