Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin and keep away from eyes and mouth.

The formula emphasizes a silky, non-sticky finish while delivering both sun care and insect deterrence in one step.

• One-step protection cuts down on multiple product applications.
• Lotion format minimizes overspray and mess compared to aerosols.
• Silky, non-sticky feel keeps skin comfortable during wear.
