Riemann's unique P20 and P10 formulas are non-greasy, non-oily and fragrance free to provide the ultimate coverage, both in and out of the water, for up to 10 hours a day *.
Once-a-day application
P20 and P10 are designed to ensure one application a day is sufficient, keeping the time spent reapplying sun protection to a minimum. Once-a-day application means a little goes a long way, making P20 more economical than other sun preparations that need to be re-applied regularly during the day.
Superior water resistance
Our once-a-day formula is proven to remain effective even after frequent swimming. In fact, P20 has been categorised as 'Very Water Resistant', the highest classification available from Colipa Guidelines for Evaluating Sun Product Water Resistance**.
UVA and UVB Protection
Offering UVA and UVB protection through highly photostable filters, P20 and P10 retain their effectiveness even on extended exposure to the sun.
Easy to use The unique, easy-to-use formulation has a thin consistency, ensuring an even and economic coverage that absorbs rapidly.
Two ways to stay safe in the sun P20 with a SPF*** of 20, absorbs 95% of the sun's UVB (burning) rays, and offers 10 hours of protection with a single application to allow you a slow, gradual tan.
P10 with a SPF*** of 10, absorbs 90% of the sun's UVB (burning) rays, and offers 10 hours of protection with a single application whilst still allowing you to build a tan.
* An independent laboratory test using human volunteers proved that P20 provides 10 hours of sun protection.

*** SPF indicates how much longer a person can be in the sun without being burnt if he/she wears sun protection, as compared to unprotected skin.

Washing instructions
Many sun protection products can stain fabrics, and this also applies to P20. However, we have found that by following the washing instructions outlined below, these stains can be removed.
Treat the stains with a commercial stain remover (we recommend Vanish Oxi Action) and wash the fabric with an ordinary detergent. Follow the instructions closely for both products as well as the washing instructions for the fabric itself. Repeat the treatment if necessary. Avoid any use of chlorine as this may worsen the stains.
To achieve the best results, fabric should be treated as soon as possible after staining occurs
