<p style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;">When you receive the brush it will be in the "close" position. Remove the top cap and slide the plastic sleeve all the way down to uncover the brush head. Turn the bottom cartridge slightly (about 1/2") to the left until you feel a click (don’t keep turning it or you will unscrew the cartridge completely). Now the brush is in the "open" position and the powder should flow through the brush to the brush head. Hold the brush in your hand and flick your wrist (like you would do with a glass thermometer) until you see the minerals in the brush head. Apply liberally to face, neck, chest and hands. For smaller areas around the eyes and nose, slide the sleeve halfway up the brush for more precise application. Turn the bottom of the container to the right back to the “close” position and replace cover when not in use.   <o:p></o:p></p>

<p><strong>What makes Brush On Block® Touch of Tan a mineral sunscreen?</strong></p><p>As a mineral sunscreen, Brush On Block does not contain harmful chemical ingredients. Brush On Block contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, both of which are well-known, naturally occurring ingredients. Both minerals offer broad spectrum sunscreening when used as directed and provide some of the safest sun protection available. Unlike chemical sunscreens which work by being absorbed into the skin, Brush On Block’s minerals sit on top of the skin and reflect the sun’s rays away from your skin. Since it does not absorb into the skin, Brush On Block is less likely to irritate the skin or clog pores, making it ideal for people with acne-prone or sensitive skin.</p><p><strong>Is Touch of Tan the right shade for me?</strong><br>Touch of Tan is designed to give a subtle hint of warmth to light and medium skin tones. It is not as dark as a bronzer, as that is not something you would want to reapply. It is not a shade made for darker skins, although it may work for some darker skins with warm undertones. Translucent is made to work for all skin tones from lightest to darkest.</p><p><strong>Is Brush On Block suitable for dry skin types?</strong></p><p>Yes! Because our formula contains jojoba and safflower oils as well as rice lipids, you will not find it drying.</p><p><strong>Is Brush On Block suitable for oily or acne-prone skin types?</strong></p><p>Yes! Brush On Block is non-comedogenic, and as a dry powder, will help absorb oils as they reach the surface of the skin. It makes a great touch-up powder mid-day with the added bonus of sun protection.</p><p><strong>What are the benefits of the botanical ingredients in Brush On Block?</strong></p><p>Green Tea Leaf Extract is a natural antioxidant. Safflower Seed Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil moisturize and protect the skin. Bisabolol and Chamomile Extract help prevent skin inflammation and irritation. Together these botanicals work to enrich, soothe and replenish your exposed skin.</p><p><strong>Has Brush On Block been tested on animals?</strong></p><p>No! Brush On Block is certified Vegan and compliant with PETA's Global Animal Test Policy. That means that we don't test our finished product on animals, but also that none of our raw ingredient suppliers use animal testing. We are proudly cruelty-free!</p><p><strong>Is Brush On Block suitable for vegans?</strong></p><p>Yes! None of our products contain any animal-derived ingredients, and we are certified vegan by Peta.</p><p><strong>How do I apply Brush On Block?</strong></p><p>Brush On Block® is housed in a self-dispensing brush. The powder flows thru the brush and out the head of the brush. When you receive the brush it will be in the "close" position. Remove the top cap and slide the plastic sleeve all the way down to uncover the brush head. Turn the bottom cartridge slightly (about 1/2") until you feel a click (don’t keep turning it or you will unscrew the cartridge completely). Now the brush is in the "open" position and the powder should flow thru the brush to the brush head. Hold the brush in your hand and flick your wrist (like you would do with a glass thermometer) until you see the minerals in the brush head. Apply liberally to face, neck, chest and hands. For smaller areas around the eyes and nose, slide the sleeve halfway up the brush for more precise application. Turn the bottom of the container to the right, back to the “close” position and replace cover when not in use.&nbsp;<br><strong>How do I know if I have applied enough?</strong><br>If you are certain that your brush is dispensing powder (you can see it on the tips of the bristles), you should apply in a circular motion to each half of your face for at least 15 seconds. In between, give the brush a little shake to be sure you have plenty of powder available for the other half of your face. Don’t forget your neck, arms and hands!<br>How often do I need to reapply my Brush On Block?<br>All sunscreens need to be reapplied every 2 hours when you are outdoors or exposed to UV rays. If you are swimming or seating, you should reapply your Brush On Block Mineral Powder Sunscreen every 80 minutes. If you towel-dry, please reapply immediately.</p><p><strong>Can I wear Brush On Block Touch of Tan with makeup?</strong><br>Yes, Touch of Tan can be worn as a makeup (as a subtle bronzing powder) or without makeup.<br><strong>Is Brush On Block Mineral Powder Sunscreen waterproof?</strong><br>No sunscreen is truly waterproof, but Brush On Block has been tested to the highest level of water resistance. Your Brush On Block is good for 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. Reapply after 80 minutes, or immediately if you towel dry.<br><strong>Will Brush On Block Mineral Powder irritate my skin like some sunscreens do?</strong><br>Since it is both a powder, and a mineral sunscreen product, Brush On Block is not absorbed into the skin, but stays on the surface. This makes it less likely to cause skin irritation and breakouts. In many cases, sunscreen irritation is caused by chemical sunscreen active ingredients (oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate, to name a few), which must be absorbed into the skin to be effective.<br><strong>Is Brush On Block Mineral Powder Sunscreen safe for children?</strong><br>Yes, but we do not recommend Touch of Tan for children, because of the subtle bronze effect. It is likely that Touch of Tan would appear like makeup on your child.!&nbsp;<br><strong>Can I use Brush On Block Mineral Powder Sunscreen on my body?</strong><br>Brush On Block products were primarily designed to provide quick and easy sun protection for the face, neck, arms and hands, but they can it be used on all body parts that are exposed to the sun or that require fast and easy sun protection.<br><strong>Is it safe around my eyes?</strong></p><p>While Brush On Block Mineral Powder Sunscreen should not be placed in the eyes, there is little risk of the product running or dripping into the eyes. To apply to smaller eyes around the eyes and nose, slide the plastic brush sleeve halfway up for more precise application. Brush On Block can be lightly dusted around the eye area and over closed lids.</p><p><strong>Does Brush On Block Mineral Powder Sunscreen contain:</strong></p><p>Oxybenzone – No<br>Octinoxate – No<br>Parabens – No<br>PABA – No<br>Phthlates – No<br>Gluten – No<br>Homosalate – No<br>Avobenzone – No<br>Octycrylene – No<br>Animal By-products – No<br>Titanium Dioxide – Yes<br>Zinc Oxide – Yes</p><p><strong>Why doesn’t my sunscreen have an expiration date?</strong></p><p>Every sunscreen formula undergoes ongoing stability testing so that consumers know at what point the product begins to become less effective. After three years of stability testing with no drop in efficacy, the FDA allows formulas to remove the expiration date from the products. Brush On Block has reached that standard on many of our products, and so they are not required to carry an expiration date. You may still find an expiration date on some products because some jurisdictions do require them.</p><p>The FDA advises that you use up any sunscreen without an expiration date within 3 years of opening it, but since Brush On Block is made to wear every day, that won’t be an issue!</p><p><strong>Is it ok to use Brush On Block Mineral Sunscreen products in regions that have banned some sunscreens?</strong></p><p>Yes! Brush On Block contains none of the sunscreen ingredients that have been banned to protect ocean life. Additionally, the products contain non nano-sized particles.</p><p><strong>What rays does Brush On Block protect me from?</strong></p><p>Brush On Block Mineral Powder Sunscreen provides broad spectrum protection, meaning it protects the skin from UV rays, both UVA (that cause photo-aging) and UVB (the ones that cause sunburn) rays. Additionally, it protects from damage from Blue Light (HEV Light, High Energy Visible Light), which comes from both screens and from the sun and from IR-A (Infrared-A) light.</p><p><strong>How long should my Brush On Block Mineral Powder Sunscreen last?</strong></p><p>The product in your Brush On Block brush should last approximately three months with daily use on face, neck, arms and hands. During the summer, or when you are swimming or sweating, you will need to reapply, so your powder may last only two months.</p><p><strong>How do I refill my brush?</strong></p><p>Brush On Block brushes were designed to be refillable. See the Refill FAQs for instructions on how to refill.</p><p><strong>Can I wash my brush?</strong></p><p>Yes, and you should! The Brush On Block brush head may be cleaned with a brush cleaner, soap or shampoo. We recommend that you clean your brush with a brush cleaning spray or wipe regularly, and wash the brush with soap or shampoo when you need to refill the brush.</p><p>To clean the brush with a brush cleaning spray, spritz 2 or 3 sprays on a tissue or paper towel. With the brush in the closed position, wipe the bristles in circles over the wet area, repeating as necessary until no more powder comes off. Gently tissue off residue and let the brush air dry. For cleaning with a brush cleaning wipe, follow the same steps.</p><p>To wash with soap or shampoo, remove the powder cartridge and set it aside. Hold the brush sideways under running water. Keeping the brush horizontal, apply a small amount of shampoo or gentle soap onto the brush and rub with your fingers. Rinse horizontally under running water. Take care to not allow water to flow into the white tube in the center of the bristles. Squeeze the brush bristles to remove excess water and allow to dry overnight on its side. Once thoroughly dry, screw the powder cartridge back on, or attach a new refill. If your brush does not flow well after washing, locate the white tube in the center of the bristles. Moisture may have made its way into this tube, causing powder to clog. To clear the clog, stick a straightened paper clip down this tube and move it around to touch all sides of the tube and break up any clumps.</p><p><strong>My brush used to dispense powder just fine, but now it won’t and I have plenty of powder left, what’s wrong?</strong></p><p>If you just washed your brush, read the above section. You probably need to clear a clog.</p><p>If you haven’t washed or cleaned your brush, you most likely need to. As you use the brush, it will pick up oils from your skin and the powder will adhere to the oil, making the bristles tend to stick together. This keeps the powder from flowing into the bristles as it should,</p><p>Another option is that even though you can still see powder in the brush, it isn’t enough to push powder into the bristles. If you stand your brush up and the powder level does not reach the yellow “window” in the bottom, it is most likely time for a refill.</p>
