Smooth a generous amount evenly over dry skin at least 20 minutes prior to sun exposure. Reapply liberally every 2 hours or more frequently after swimming, exercising or towel drying. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and wear protective clothing, eyewear and a hat.

Using the proper amount of sunscreen is a huge part of measuring whether sunscreen is effective and serving its purpose (Shade... get it?) as you wear it!

According to the Cancer Council, the recommended amount is 5mL (approximately one teaspoon) to cover your entire face, neck and ears.

Serving Shade is a chemical sunscreen with the latest lightweight, broad-spectrum sun protection technology.

So, why chemical filters? Physical and chemical UV filters work quite similarly. Both chemical and physical filters work by absorbing ultraviolet rays, while physical filters also reflect a small amount of the UV. 

The downside of physical filters is they can often leave a heavy, greasy white cast on the skin and are known to have pore-clogging properties - especially when formulated to deliver high protection. That’s why Serving Shade is formulated with innovative chemical filters for SPF50 protection with a skin feel that will make you want to wear it every. single. day. 

Our super lightweight yet hydrating formula makes it perfect for all skin types. 

Acne-prone skin:

Lightweight sunscreens are less occlusive, which means they are less likely to clog pores or leave a heavy residue on the skin, which can often lead to acne breakouts. 

Oily skin:

Serving Shade is undetectable on the skin, and doesn't leave any greasy or oily residue throughout the day, and doesn't compromise on hydration.

Dry skin:

Serving Shade might be lightweight on the skin, but it's a heavyweight on hydration! Hyaluronic Acid delivers deep hydration while Vitamin E supports the skin barrier to keep dry skin happy, hydrated and protected!

We recommend doing a patch test and cease use if sensitivity occurs.
