Refreshing after sun lotion for stressed, warmed skin
A day in the sun feels wonderful, but the skin often pays a price. Even with good SPF, the skin is exposed to heat, dryness, and oxidative stress from UV radiation and salt water. The result: tense, warm skin that can become red, flaky, and age faster. Proper after sun care is not a luxury but essential — the skin needs to be hydrated, soothed, and repaired to recover optimally.
Dr Schrammek's Body After Sun is a refreshing, transparent gel lotion that provides immediate cooling to stressed skin. The combination of panthenol, sea salt, and bisabolol offers intense soothing, while menthyl lactate provides an instant cooling effect. Vitamin E additionally protects against oxidative damage. With regular use, the tan also lasts longer and more evenly. Vegan-friendly and free from parabens, mineral oils, silicones, PEG emulsifiers, and colorants.

Active ingredients
Panthenol (Provitamin B5): The heart of the formula. Panthenol penetrates deep into the skin layers and works as a strong moisturizer and soother. For exposed, stressed skin, panthenol accelerates the recovery process and helps repair the natural skin barrier. Essential for after sun care.
Sea Salt (Maris Sal): Rich in natural minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium that have anti-inflammatory effects on stressed skin. Sea salt helps reduce redness and irritation and supports the skin's natural balance after sun exposure.
Bisabolol: An active ingredient originally derived from chamomile, known for its strong soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Bisabolol soothes the skin immediately after application — especially valuable for skin that feels warm and irritated.
Menthyl Lactate: A derivative of menthol that provides an immediate cooling sensation without stinging or burning. Unlike pure menthol, menthyl lactate is gentler on the skin and offers lasting cooling — exactly what heated skin needs.
Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil): Intensively nourishes the skin with fatty acids and naturally has anti-inflammatory properties. Coconut oil helps restore dry skin and leaves a silky soft feeling without a greasy layer.
Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals caused by UV radiation. Also smooths the skin and supports the recovery process after sun exposure.
Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan / red algae extract): An algae extract that forms a moisture-retaining film on the skin. Prevents moisture evaporation due to heat and keeps the skin hydrated for a long time — an important factor for maintaining the tan.
Glycerin & Propylene Glycol: Act as humectants that attract and retain moisture in the skin. Enhance the moisturizing effect of the other ingredients and provide immediate, comfortable softening.
How to use
- Optionally cleanse the skin lightly with lukewarm water after sunbathing
- Pat the skin dry gently — do not rub
- Apply the Body After Sun generously over the entire body
- Apply with gentle movements, paying extra attention to shoulders, décolleté, and legs
- Let absorb — no greasy layer
- For strongly heated or irritated skin: store the lotion in the fridge for extra cooling
Tip from the skin expert: Also use the Body After Sun after showering on non-sunny days during summer — the skin often still suffers from previous sun exposure, dry air conditioning air, or heat. Combine with the Body Sun Lotion SPF50+ for complete sun care that both protects and repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this lotion also work for mild sunburn?
For mild, superficial sunburn — where the skin is warm and slightly red — the Body After Sun provides immediate relief thanks to menthyl lactate, bisabolol, and panthenol. For severe sunburn with blistering, fever, or nausea, we recommend seeking medical advice first. The lotion is caring but not a medical treatment.
How often can I use the lotion?
As often as needed. Immediately after sun exposure for instant cooling, and in the following days once or twice a day to keep the skin hydrated and support the recovery process. The skin often needs care for several days to fully recover.
Will my tan last longer with this product?
Yes. Well-hydrated skin retains a tan significantly longer and more evenly than dry skin. When the skin dries out, it flakes, and with the flakes, the pigmentation also disappears. By using the Body After Sun daily, you prevent this and keep your tan looking beautiful longer.
Is the product suitable for the face?
The Body After Sun is specifically developed for the body. For the face, we recommend using a separate after sun product tailored to the more delicate facial skin, or a soothing facial product such as the AloCalm Gel Mask from Dr Schrammek.
Can I store the lotion in the refrigerator?
Absolutely, this is even recommended for extra cooling effect. A chilled Body After Sun enhances the effect of menthyl lactate and immediately provides a noticeable refreshing sensation — especially pleasant after a hot day or on irritated skin.
What is the difference between this after sun and a regular body lotion?
A regular body lotion focuses on daily hydration. The Body After Sun additionally contains soothing ingredients (bisabolol, sea salt), a cooling effect (menthyl lactate), and antioxidant protection (vitamin E) — specifically tailored to the needs of skin that has just been exposed to heat and UV radiation.
Does the product contain alcohol or other drying ingredients?
The formula is deliberately developed without drying ingredients. The texture is a gel-lotion that hydrates instead of stripping moisture. Therefore, the lotion is also suitable for sensitive skin and skin that is already suffering from dehydration after sun exposure.
