If you want a cream or gel instead, the lotion and gel formulas are on sunscreen manufacturer and sunscreen gel. This page covers what changes when the product is sprayed.

Challenge

Spraying changes the formula

A sprayable sunscreen must be thin enough to atomise but still leave an even film. Thin products run off skin, and a spray does not tell the user how much is enough. SPF values are tested at a set amount per square centimetre, so real-life protection from a spray is usually lower than the label unless the user applies generously.

✓Viscosity is tuned to the nozzle, not just the feel.
✓Filters that need heavy emulsifiers can block the pump.
✓Spray pattern and dose per pump are tested, not assumed.
✓The label should tell people to rub in and reapply.
Safety

Do not breathe it in

Sprays can be inhaled. Labels should say not to spray on the face directly, to spray on hands first for the face and to avoid use in closed spaces. These warnings matter more for children, so ask about kids’ sunscreen as a separate project.

Aerosol filling and propellant choice are specialised. Tell us your brief and we confirm if we fill it or recommend a pump spray.
Testing

SPF still needs a test report

SPF and PA claims need test reports on the final formula, in the final pack. A spray version of a tested lotion is a new formula for testing purposes.

How we develop it

How we plan a spray

We start with the nozzle and the dose, then fit the formula to them.

The SPF test follows the final pack.

Positioning
