Frequently asked questions.

Sun Protection Factor. It tells you how much longer you can stay in the sun without being burned (compared to if you weren’t wearing sunscreen).

The sun emits two types of radiation: UVA and UVB. UVB rays are the main cause of sunburn and increase your risk of skin cancer. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are responsible for aging, wrinkles, and brown spots. Broad-spectrum sunscreen helps protect you from both.

Absolutely. Apply it regularly and pair it with other skin-cancer reducing measures like protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and avoiding peak sun exposure.

Yes. But always check the ingredient label to check for allergies and sensitivities.

There is no such thing as waterproof sunscreen. Any sunscreen will wash off when exposed to moisture for a long period of time. All of our Lazyface products are water-resistant for 80 minutes (meaning you should reapply 80 minutes after swimming or sweating). 

Sunscreen should be applied every two hours, after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying.

It’s hard to say. Heat below 122F will not affect the sun protection factor of the sunscreen. Heat above 122F may cause the components of the sunscreen to separate. 
And exposure to higher temperatures negatively affects the sun protection factor of the sunscreen.

No! We’re lazy but not that lazy. Lazyface never tests on animals.

The term ‘reef-safe’ is not regulated by the FDA. But The Hawaii Act 104 recommends against using oxybenzone and octinoxate to avoid damage to coral reefs. And you’ll find neither oxybenzone or octinoxate in any Lazyface product.

Ok, smartypants. Zinc oxide effectively blocks the burning (UVB) and aging (UVA) rays of the sun. But better, Zinc oxide is a naturally occurring mineral that is safe on any skin type, even the most sensitive skin. It’s even safe to use on 6-month old babies! 

Short answer: no. Long answer: We use non-nano zinc oxide. These particles are too large to be absorbed into any body system, including the bloodstream.
