UVA Rating: When choosing sun cream, the NHS recommends selecting a product with a UVA star rating of at least 4 stars, a system developed by Boots UK. This rating indicates strong protection against long-wave ultraviolet radiation, which contributes to skin aging and long-term damage.

However, that's not the only trusted standard. If you see "UVA" printed inside a circle on the packaging, it means the product meets the rigorous European Union standard for UVA protection. This mark ensures the formulation provides a balanced level of UVA and UVB protection, even if the UK-specific star rating isn't displayed. You can feel confident that either symbol represents a sun cream tested for safety and efficacy.

Directions: Apply Gompels SPF 50 Sun Cream at least 30 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply frequently, especially after swimming or towel-drying, to maintain optimal protection.

Our little one suffers with eczema and it gets worse in the summer after applying sunscreen and no store bought sunscreens have been great for us. After one day at nursery we noticed she had sunscreen on but wasn't itchy or sticky and we called the nursery and asked what sunscreen they're using and they advised us of this one. We bought it immediately and it's absolutely amazing and the whole family will be using it. I think the price is really good for the amount you get!

(4 questions)

how many applications (on average) should one bottle be for?
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends 35ml (seven teaspoons) of sun cream for an adult so, for a child, use a quarter to one-half of this, depending on how big they are. The expected number of applications will depend on the size of the person (adult/child) and how much of the body you need to cover (whole body/arms, legs & face).
What is the shelf life/use buy on your sun cream?
The sun cream should be used within 6 months of opening. 
How often does this need to be reapplied?
According to the NHS suncream should be applied every 2 hours where possible.
Do you know if this product is suitable for vegans.
