Which Ultrasun?
Choosing the right Ultrasun may seem a bit confusing. There is a wide range to choose from and each has their own pros. To clarify what each of the products in the Ultrasun range are suited for we have written this free guide. We hope that this helps you make the right choice. If you require any further advice please call us on 0870 861 6000.

What is Ultrasun?
Ultrasun Once a day is a Swiss made, professional grade range of sun protection products. It has a unique formula that only needs applying once in the morning 15-30 minutes before sun exposure and gives long lasting all day sun protection. The formulation safely binds to the skin rather sitting on top, unlike some other sun protections. Because of this, it is water, towel and sweat resistant, making it ideal for holidays, days at the beach, playing sports, water-sports and, well, everything else where you are exposed to the sun!

What other benefits does Ultrasun offer?
The great thing about Ultrasun sun protection is that it lasts up to 36 months once opened, so if you have excess left at the end of your hols you can take it away again the following year, knowing that you still have the same level of protection. Ultrasun is free from oils, emulsifiers and perfume, reducing the risk of allergy and making them especially suitable for children and sensitive skin. They are also non-staining, non-greasy, water-resistant and easy to use. Additionally, they are Paraben free and not tested on animals.

Applying Ultrasun
When applying any of the Ultrasun range it is important to apply a generous amount to ensure proper protection and skin coverage. Apply onto clean, dry skin at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Providing it is allowed to sink into the skin properly, Ultrasun advise it will not stain clothes* . Once absorbed it is non greasy and does not leave white marks. Make up and moisturisers can be applied after this and will not affect the sun protection performance.    

*(Here at ifsogo, we have found that some yellowing to clothing can occur when using the 20 clear gel and 30 clear spray sports formulas if not enough time is allowed before dressing & in high humidity conditions)

Prickly Heat
If you suffer from prickly heat Ultrasun is ideal. One of the causes of prickly heat is blocked pores, but because of the way Ultrasun binds to the skin, it doesn’t block the pores, allowing the skin to breathe naturally, preventing outbreaks of prickly heat.

Value for Money
Ultrasun may initially seem more expensive compared to other sun creams, however when you consider that you only need to apply it once a day AND that it lasts for 36 months, it actually provides excellent value for money!

From our experience, customers who have tried Ultrasun rarely use anything else again. Once you try it you’ll probably wonder why you hadn’t tried it sooner. It allows a great, gradual tan to develop, but still offers fantastic UVA/UVB protection. (For our guide to UVA/UVB click here)

How Much Will I Need for My Holiday?

Everyone is different, but based on the average person applying Ultrasun once a day over their entire body, we’d recommend;

150ml per person per week for the lotions

200ml per person per week for the SPF20 clear liquid gel

300ml (2 bottles) per person per week for the SPF30 spray

Ultrasun Aftersun

Ultrasun Aftersun is a cooling gel-lotion which moisturises and soothes irritated skin after exposure to the sun. It instantly cools upon application. Liposomal SOD activates the skin's biological repair system. Which eases sun burn and tightness after sun bathing. Also prolongs your tan. It is free of oils and emulsifiers it provides a high performance body lotion. It is slightly, lightly perfumed.
