Sunplay Ultra Shield SPF50+ 130 Lotion

Sunplay Ultra Shield SPF50+ Lotion is a sunscreen lotion from Sunplay, the sun care brand from Mentholatum, designed for everyday sun protection during outdoor activities. With SPF50+ stated in its name, it is intended to help protect exposed skin from sunburn caused by UVB rays. The lotion format spreads easily over the body and allows controlled, even application. It is part of Sunplay’s Ultra Shield range for people who spend time outdoors.

Malaysia sees strong sunshine all year, and everyday activities such as commuting, outdoor dining, sport and travel all add up to significant sun exposure. Sunplay Ultra Shield SPF50+ Lotion helps make daily sun protection a simple habit. To get the protection stated on the label, apply a generous amount and reapply at least every 2 hours. Reapply sooner after swimming, sweating heavily or towel drying.

Before first use, check the ingredient list and do a patch test if you have sensitive or reactive skin. Keep the lotion away from the eyes, and check the pack for guidance on use on the face. Store the bottle out of direct sun, for example in a bag rather than on a hot car dashboard. Pair sunscreen with shade, a hat and sunglasses for more complete sun protection.

• Shake well before use if indicated on the pack.
• Apply a generous, even layer to all exposed skin before going outdoors, ideally about 15 minutes before sun exposure.
• Pay attention to easily missed areas such as the ears, neck, back of the hands and tops of the feet.
• Reapply at least every 2 hours, and after swimming, sweating heavily or towel drying.
• Avoid contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse with water.

Apply generously before sun exposure, using enough to cover all exposed skin, and reapply at least every 2 hours. Reapply more often after swimming, sweating heavily or towel drying. Use daily whenever you will be outdoors, including on cloudy days.

Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging and do not use sunscreen past this date, as protection may be reduced. After opening, check the period-after-opening (PAO) symbol, shown as an open jar icon, if it appears on the pack, and use the product within that period.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Do not leave the bottle in a hot car or in direct sun for long periods, such as on the beach; keep it in the shade or in a bag.
• Close the cap tightly after each use.
• Keep out of reach of children.

• Sunscreens like this are generally well tolerated when used as directed.
• Mild skin redness, stinging or irritation may occur, particularly on sensitive skin.
• Stinging and watering may occur if the product gets into the eyes.
• Some people may notice small bumps or a feeling of clogged pores, especially on oily or blemish-prone skin.
• Rarely, an allergic reaction such as rash, swelling or itchiness may occur.
• Stop use and consult a doctor or pharmacist if any irritation persists or worsens.

• Known allergy: Do not use if you are sensitive or allergic to any of the ingredients listed on the pack.
• Broken skin: Do not apply to broken, wounded, sunburnt and blistered, or irritated skin.
• Eyes: Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
• Infants: For babies under 6 months, keep them out of direct sun and ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any sunscreen.

• Food: No known food interactions.
• Topical treatments: If you are using prescribed topical treatments, check with your doctor or pharmacist before layering sunscreen over them.
• Photosensitising medicines: Some medicines can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight; ask your doctor or pharmacist whether you need extra sun protection.
• Insect repellent: If using insect repellent, apply sunscreen first and allow it to set before applying the repellent.

• Use sunscreen together with shade, a hat, sunglasses and protective clothing.
• Try to limit time in direct sun during the strongest hours of the day, roughly late morning to mid-afternoon.
• Apply sunscreen even on cloudy days, as UV rays can still reach the skin.
• Use enough product; a thin layer gives less protection than the label suggests.
• Cleanse your skin at the end of the day to remove sunscreen, sweat and dirt.

For external use only. If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test on a small area, such as the inner forearm, 24 hours before first use. Keep out of reach of children.

Sunscreen is one part of sun protection and should not be used to extend the time you spend in the sun. If you get sunburnt, or notice a new or changing mole or skin spot, speak to a doctor.
