Does sunscreen come off with soap?

Yes, sunscreen can come off with soap, especially if it is a water-soluble formulation. Using soap and water effectively helps to remove sunscreen from the skin, but some types of sunscreen, particularly water- or sweat-resistant formulations, may require more thorough washing. It's important to ensure all traces of sunscreen are removed to prevent clogged pores and skin irritation. Always follow up with a gentle cleanser if needed for complete removal.
