Returns and exchanges Products and servicesSunscreen is designed to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays emitted by the sun. Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, skin damage, and helps reduce the risk of skin cancer.
Our sunscreen products include a variety of synthetic active ingredients such as Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octisalate and Octocrylene as well as a mineral active ingredient Zinc Oxide. These active ingredients provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Active ingredients can be found in each product’s drug facts portion.
The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) you choose should be based on your skin type, the amount of sun exposure you expect, and your personal needs. Generally, SPF 30 is suitable for most people for daily use, while SPF 50 is recommended for extended outdoor activities.
If you have sensitive skin, we suggest patch testing on a portion of your skin before trying any new skincare products. Otherwise, our products include a variety of notable ingredients to help nourish the skin, we suggest BGS Kids SPF 50 Lotion and BGS Baby SPF 50 Lotion for sensitive skin types.
