Aloe Vera is a substance found in the leaves of an Aloe Vera plant; traditionally known for its soothing, healing and hydrating properties. The leaves of the Aloe Vera plant contain a clear gel that is used as a topical ointment. Surrounding the gel is the green part of the leaf that can be used to produce a juice. When used in a cream, Aloe Vera delivers superior moisturisation for dry and damaged skin, including sunburnt skin, due to its soothing properties.
When in a thick gel formulation, Aloe Vera eases the pain caused by cuts, burns or insect bites, when rubbed in gently. Calypso After Sun Aloe Vera Gel uses Aloe Vera to calm skin after time spent in the sun.

Most definitely. Sun cream is not just for people who go on holidays to warm countries. We recommend adults and children to use sunscreen with a minimum of SPF30 in the UK.

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.
