Can sunscreen go off in the heat?

Yes, sunscreen can degrade in high heat, which may reduce its effectiveness. When exposed to extreme temperatures, the ingredients in sunscreen can break down more quickly, making it less protective against harmful UV rays. Therefore, it's important to store sunscreen in a cool place to maintain its quality.

Key points:

• High temperatures can break down sunscreen ingredients.
• Degraded sunscreen may not provide adequate UV protection.
• Proper storage is essential for maintaining sunscreen effectiveness.
• Always check the expiry date before use.
