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.

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.
