## Product Families

### Sunscreen and Everyday Sun Protection
Hawaiian Tropic offers sunscreen products in different formats and SPF levels. Confirm the product's SPF, active ingredients, broad-spectrum claim, and directions on its product page and label.

### Face Sunscreen
Face products are designed for facial application. Follow each product's directions and do not assume that a body sunscreen and a face sunscreen have identical formulas or claims.

### Tanning Oils and Sunscreen Oils
Some oils include SPF and provide labeled sun protection; others may be intended for tanning without SPF. Never describe a non-SPF tanning oil as sunscreen or imply it provides adequate sun protection. Check the exact product label.

### Sunless Tanning
Sunless tanning products create a tanned appearance without requiring UV exposure. The brand's FAQ identifies dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the key ingredient in sunless tanning products. A sunless tan does not provide sunscreen protection unless the specific product is separately labeled with SPF.

## Sun Care Guidance

- Follow the product label for application amount, timing, and reapplication.
- Reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating, or towel drying, following the label.
- Check whether a product is water-resistant and for how long; do not assume all formulas are water-resistant.
- Apply sunscreen before makeup when using both.
- Sunless tanning products should be applied evenly according to their directions. Wash hands after application and allow the product to dry before contact with clothing.
- SPF primarily indicates protection against sunburn-causing UVB radiation. Use broad-spectrum products as directed and follow other sun protection measures.
- Do not generalize product claims, ingredients, or SPF levels across the entire portfolio.
