Suitable for sensitive skin, this cream absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it practical for repeated daily use in outdoor working environments. Made in Great Britain and supplied as a 1 litre refill cartridge for MedWash dispenser systems.
Extended sun exposure without adequate protection leaves outdoor workers at ongoing risk of UVB-related skin damage, particularly across a full working day or a long summer season. A sun cream that leaves a heavy, greasy residue creates its own problem, since workers become reluctant to reapply it regularly if it interferes with handling tools or feels uncomfortable under gloves. This cream provides factor 50 protection while absorbing quickly, supporting the regular reapplication that effective sun protection actually depends on.
Sun Protection Factor 50: Provides high-factor protection recommended for extended outdoor exposure.
Protects against harmful UVB rays: Addresses the UV wavelength most associated with sunburn and skin damage from direct sun exposure.
Suitable for sensitive skin: Reduces the risk of irritation for outdoor workers applying sun cream daily across a working season.
Unperfumed formula: Suited to shared welfare facilities and operatives with fragrance sensitivities.
Fast-absorbing, non-greasy finish: Supports regular reapplication without leaving hands or skin feeling greasy.
Higher-capacity 1 litre format: Suited to busy welfare stations and sites with multiple daily users during peak summer months.
Trades and roles:
Groundworkers
Roofers and scaffolders

This sun cream is used by groundworkers, roofers, scaffolders, and general outdoor operatives who spend extended periods working under direct sun exposure across a working season. The higher-capacity 1 litre format is particularly suited to busy welfare stations with multiple daily users during peak summer months, as well as agricultural workers and outdoor event staff requiring a sensitive-skin, unperfumed option.
Applied before starting outdoor work on construction and groundworks sites during spring and summer months.
Used by agricultural workers spending full days outdoors across a growing season.
Applied by outdoor event staff working extended hours in direct sunlight.
Used as the primary cartridge within the MedWash Sun Safety Centre wall-mounted station.
Applied by operatives with sensitive skin requiring an unperfumed sun protection option.
Used on busy sites with multiple daily users, where the larger capacity reduces reordering frequency.
Step 1: Apply 1 to 2 pumps of the cream to the skin.
Step 2: Rub hands together and massage the cream onto exposed skin until fully absorbed.
Step 3: Apply at least 30 minutes before sun exposure begins for best protection.
Step 4: Reapply every two hours, or more frequently if sweating heavily, to maintain effective protection throughout the day.
Applying sun cream only once at the start of the day: SPF50 protection reduces over time, particularly with sweating, and requires reapplication approximately every two hours.
Applying too little product: a thin or uneven application reduces the effective protection level below the stated SPF50 rating.
Assuming cloudy days don't require sun protection: UVB radiation can still cause skin damage even when the sun isn't directly visible.
Fitting the 1 litre cartridge to an incompatible dispenser: this size is designed for the MedWash 1 Litre Lockable Dispenser and Sun Safety Centre, and will not fit a 750ml dispenser unit.
Not reapplying after washing hands or face: sun cream is removed with washing and needs reapplying to maintain protection on exposed skin.
This cream provides SPF50 protection against harmful UVB rays and is suitable for sensitive skin, but individuals with known allergies or skin conditions should check the full ingredient listing before use. Sun cream should be treated as part of a wider PPE strategy for outdoor workers under the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, alongside appropriate clothing, headwear, and eyewear. Reapplication every two hours, or more frequently during sweating or after washing, is necessary to maintain effective protection.
Store the cartridge in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to preserve product effectiveness. Check stock levels regularly during the summer months when usage increases. Replace the cartridge once empty; do not attempt to refill or reuse an empty cartridge.
Q: Does SPF50 provide enough protection for a full day working outdoors?
A: Factor 50 provides high-level protection against harmful UVB rays, suitable for extended outdoor exposure. Effective protection depends on correct application and reapplication approximately every two hours, or more frequently if sweating heavily, rather than a single morning application lasting the whole day.
Q: Why choose the 1 litre size over the 750ml version?
A: The 1 litre cartridge is the standard size included with the MedWash Sun Safety Centre and is compatible with the MedWash 1 Litre Lockable Dispenser, both suited to busy welfare facilities with multiple daily users. The larger capacity reduces how often the cartridge needs replacing during peak summer months compared with the compact 750ml alternative.
Q: What is this sun cream NOT suitable for?
A: This cream is not a substitute for other required sun protection PPE, including appropriate clothing, hats, and eyewear, and should form part of a wider sun safety strategy rather than being relied upon alone. It is not intended as a facial cosmetic sunscreen with additional anti-ageing or skincare claims.
Q: Is this sun cream suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes. This formula is specifically suitable for sensitive skin and is unperfumed, reducing the risk of irritation for outdoor workers applying sun cream daily across a working season. Anyone with a known skin condition or allergy should check the full ingredient listing before use.
Q: Is this cartridge interchangeable with the 750ml version?
A: No. The 1 litre cartridge is designed specifically for the MedWash 1 Litre Lockable Dispenser and Sun Safety Centre, and will not fit a 750ml dispenser unit. Sites with a 750ml dispenser system should order the 750ml Sun Cream Refill Cartridge (JL100039) instead.
Q: How long does a 1 litre cartridge last once opened, and how should it be stored?
A: This cream has a 12-month shelf life once opened. Cartridge life in use depends on the number of users and frequency of application, with busy sites during peak summer months depleting cartridges faster. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and check stock levels weekly during summer.
