What is SPF?
Where to Buy
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and represents the sunscreen's ability to protect your skin from the sun's rays in addition to your skin's natural protection. Depending on your skin type, hair colour, eye colour and location, you may be able to stay in the sun for 10 minutes without burning.
If you apply a sunscreen with SPF30 this means that you can stay in the sun 30 times longer than you could without sunscreen. However, you must use sunscreen as directed and ensure enough sunscreen is initially applied (35ml) for maximum coverage. Higher factors should not be used to increase your time in the sun, but to increase your level of protection.
Yes, sunscreen is still required. Even when the sky is overcast, UV radiation levels are still at 80% of their normal levels. The temperature can be deceptive - a breeze can keep you cool, but it doesn't affect UV levels. Look up the UV index for your area to make sure you're using protection when you need to be.
Yes! They keep their effectiveness by binding more strongly to the skin, so they last longer. Our Calypso Once A Day range is rigorously tested to ensure that even after 8 hours of wear, it still offers the SPF on the label. You should be extra careful to apply enough of the product and make sure all exposed skin is covered. However, please remember that even water-resistant Once A Day sunscreens can still be washed off if you spend a long time in the water or if you dry yourself with a towel, so you might need to reapply.
We're pleased to say that we don't test any of our products on animals. What's more, we don't buy ingredients that have been tested on animals by another manufacturer. So you can buy Calypso confident in the knowledge that your sun care is cruelty-free.
All of our products are suitable for vegetarians. However, some contain ingredients like keratin (made from sheep's wool) or beeswax (made by bees) that vegans may wish to avoid.
Allergies can be very serious, and we try to minimise potential allergens where possible. However, if you have an allergy to a particular ingredient, you should check the ingredients list before using the product. Always test new products on a small area of skin 24 hours before you first use them. You should do this even if you don't have any allergies.
Absolutely! Our face sunscreens are all suitable for wearing under makeup. Apply your sunscreen first and allow it to dry completely before applying makeup for a smooth finish.
I place a lot of importance on sun protection, and this Calypso face serum, with an SPF of 50+, offers me the best defence against UVA and UVB radiation. It's more of a white gel or cream that glides on to the skin, absorbs rapidly, and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth. Above all, my skin is shielded from the sun's rays throughout the entire day. As UV protection is priceless and feels wonderful on my skin, this is really good value for money.

Did you find it useful?
I haven't been able to test how well the SPF protects my face from burning because of typical uk weather. On my face, though, I have applied it beneath my regular makeup. Considering that it has 50 SPF, this face serum is remarkably light and absorbs into my skin without leaving a greasy or heavy residue. After it dried, I waited 10 minutes (just like I usually do) before putting on my makeup, and I was extremely impressed with results!
