Using enough sunscreen every day is essential to achieve the level of sun protection indicated on the label.

Current recommendations suggest applying approximately 2 mg of sunscreen per square centimetre of skin to attain the stated SPF. However, studies have shown that most people tend to apply less than the recommended amount, which can reduce overall protection.

How can you measure the right amount of sunscreen?

To make sunscreen application easier and more accurate, CHOSEN has developed the Sunscreen Scoop, a simple measuring accessory designed to help you dispense an appropriate quantity of sunscreen for effective daily protection.

The Sunscreen Scoop is based on research by Srinivas et al. and is designed to estimate the quantity of sunscreen required for facial application in both men and women, measured in millilitres (ml).

Our findings indicate that approximately 1.3 ml of SAFESCREEN sunscreen may be required for facial application based on the average facial surface area of Indian men and women. Since facial dimensions vary from person to person, we also offer an online sunscreen calculator to help determine a more personalised recommendation.

Sunscreen Calculator: Find Your Recommended Amount

Enter your height and weight into the calculator to receive an estimate of the sunscreen quantity needed for your face, arms and legs in millilitres. You can then select the Sunscreen Scoop size that most closely matches your recommended amount.

To suit a range of facial sizes and sunscreen requirements, the Sunscreen Scoop is currently available in three variants: 1 ml, 1.25 ml and 1.3 ml.
