The Calypso Once A Day range offers effective, highly water resistant sun care products that provide UVA/UVB protection. A spokesperson added: 'As with all sunscreens, it is important to follow the instructions for application and use; and sunscreen should not be used to intentionally stay longer in the sun.

Apply evenly and generously to all exposed areas 15 minutes before sun exposure, then rub in well to allow the product to bind with the skin and form a protective film against UVA and UVB rays. put several once-a-day sunscreens to the test, investigating how long they lasted on volunteers in a controlled lab experiment, and found they didn't offer nearly as much protection as claimed. My wife burns easily we have tried Calypso 30 , no sunburn and she does get a nice slight healthy tan.Our Once a Day Sun Protection only needs to be applied to the skin once and protects you all day long. You should be extra careful to apply enough of the product and make sure all exposed skin is covered. After several hours we retested each sunscreen’s SPF and saw a shocking 74% average decrease in protection.

We agree that the claim “Once a day” can be anticipated in a wrong way by the consumer, and it is one of the reasons why we changed our durability communication from “Once a day” to “Up to 10 hours”. At the end of the day I had fairly burnt shoulders and I had spent my non-pool time under shade generally!

Will be throwing the rest away and the other bottle - cant take the risk - and would definitely not recommend. But it also acknowledges the importance of making sure the message of frequent re-application is clear, which is why it recommends members move away from 'once a day' descriptors.The star rating system was designed by Boots (retailer) and is not recognised as industry standard, nor is it regulated. We tested products from Boots Soltan Once, Piz Buin and Riemann at the time, which were applied to the backs of volunteers who then spent the day in the lab.
