Getting Started

How to Activate

  1. Remove cap and slide sleeve down.
  2. Pull off the rubber band, pull sleeve up again and cap the top back on.
  3. Tap 3-5 times on a hard surface with cap side down. Put some power behind those taps! Repeat as needed. 
  4. Open brush again, pull down sleeve, flick bristles to ensure powder is flowing, and apply.

Troubleshooting:
Still not dispensing? Try gently loosening bristles and tapping again.

How to Use

Daily routine integration: 

  • Use as the final product applied in your sunscreen or makeup routine.

The Water Test

How to Clean

Pro Tip: We advise cleaning your Sunforgettable® brush at least once a week. 

To clean your Sunforgettable® brush: Generously apply rubbing alcohol or an alcohol-based cleanser on a paper towel. Clean your brush with the bristles facing upwards so the brush doesn't dispense powder when cleansing. Wipe the brush until the bristles are thoroughly clean. Set on its side to dry. Overnight drying is ideal before replacing the cap.
