MedWash Factor 50 Suncream Refill Cartridge - 750ml

Who is this for

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 compact 750ml format is particularly suited to mobile and van-based welfare units, as well as sites choosing the alternative cartridge option for the MedWash Sun Safety Centre.

Typical applications

• 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 alternative cartridge option within the MedWash Sun Safety Centre wall-mounted station.

• Applied by operatives with sensitive skin requiring an unperfumed sun protection option.

• Used in mobile and van-based welfare units where a smaller dispenser footprint is preferred.

How to use

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.

Common mistakes

• 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 750ml cartridge to an incompatible dispenser: this size is designed for the MedWash 750ml Lockable Dispenser and will not fit a 1 Litre dispenser unit.

• Not reapplying after washing hands or face: sun cream is removed with washing and needs reapplying to maintain protection on exposed skin.

Safety

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.

Maintenance

Store the cartridge in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, particularly important for cartridges kept in vehicles exposed to temperature fluctuations. 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.
