Comfort

The waterproof formula ensures you don’t get burned while swimming.
The “anti-sand” function allows you to apply the cream right on the beach, without fear that grains of sand will stick to your skin.
The spray format is convenient to use (but do not forget that even a product sprayed onto the skin still needs to be rubbed).
The stick format is ideal for updating protection as needed. And yes, the stick will fit even in a small purse.
