MyCHELLE Replenishing Solar Defense Body Lotion SPF 50 is a broad-spectrum, mineral-based body sunscreen that shields skin from UVA/UVB rays while delivering hydration with coconut oil and shea butter.

The formula is crafted to hydrate and help maintain the skin’s moisture balance, and it’s water resistant for up to 80 minutes—making it suitable for poolside days, outdoor workouts, or routine daily wear.

How does this sunscreen protect my skin during outdoor activities?

The lotion provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection, blocking both UVA rays that contribute to long-term photoaging and UVB rays responsible for sunburn. Its mineral active helps reflect and scatter ultraviolet radiation rather than absorbing it, and the water-resistant formulation stays effective through swimming and sweating for up to 80 minutes before reapplication is needed.

• SPF 50 broad-spectrum coverage for UVA and UVB defense
• Zinc-based mineral protection that’s reef-friendly
• Water-resistant up to 80 minutes for activities involving water or heavy perspiration
• Reapply after towel-drying, swimming, or at least every 2 hours

Will this lotion keep my skin moisturized without feeling greasy?

The lotion is formulated to restore and preserve moisture using coconut oil and shea butter, both known for emollient properties. The texture absorbs to leave skin feeling soft and hydrated rather than heavy or sticky, making it practical for daily use and for applying under clothing or light makeup.
