Tommy Bahama partnered with Coola to launch a line of ultra-sheer spray sunscreens: Unscented SPF 50 Sport; Day at the Beach SPF 30 scented with almond, coconut and orange; Bay Breeze SPF 15 scented with cranberry and pineapple; and Acapulco Gold SPF 6 Bronzing Mist in scent comprised of grapefruit, orange coconut and pineapple. Personal Care LLC, Orlando, FL, makers of BullFrog and Ocean Potion, is broadening its footprint in the sun care category. “SolSkyn Personal Care works closely with mass market retailers and its other key partners in developing new products,” said Stuart Straus, head of the SolSkyn Personal Care business unit. “Each of these new formulations provides safe and effective SPF protection, water resistance and skin care benefits.” For 2016, BullFrog is making it easier to find the right sunscreen for the right outdoor activities by grouping products into three color-coded categories. “Our new streamlined SPF levels and activity-based segmentation of Land Sport, Water Sport and Mosquito Coast help simplify choices and reduce confusion in a category that is filled with too many choices,” explained Strauss. Land Sport, formulated for breathability and sweat resistance, is powered by Sweat Tech technology. It helps skin breathe and enables sweat to pass through and evaporate. The ultra-light formula for land-based, endurance activities provides instant dry application for immediate performance. Water Sport is powered by Water Armor Tech technology, which uses a hydrophobic polymer to deliver long-lasting water resistance. Mosquito Coast is formulated for all outdoor adventures. The patented two-in-one DEET-free combination insect repellent and sunscreen repels insects for up to eight hours. BullFrog is the official sunscreen of both the Go- Pro Mountain Games and Major League Fishing. Ocean Potion, SolSkyn’s “born on the beach” brand with Skin cancer warning for outdoor workers in the EU A recent survey by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society indicated that a quarter of British adults have no idea what the labels on their sunscreen mean or what protection they are offering. One fifth of 18–24 year olds in the UK said they would never wear sunscreen. Further, there are almost 14.5 million workers in Europe who spend at least 75% of their working time under the sun. A new report published in April by the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology (EADV) indicated that this large part of Europe’s workforce is under an increased risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Data in the report, titled Non-melanoma Skin Cancer by Solar UV: the Neglected Occupational Threat, shows that after only five years of outdoor work, the risk of developing NMSC is at least doubled for outdoor workers compared to indoor workers. It also shows that health literacy and proneness to prevention are significantly lower for outdoor workers. In a consensus report found in the same publication, experts call European member states to recognize NMSC as an occupational disease and the EU Commission to revise the 2006 Directive on Artificial Optical Radiation to include solar UV radiation within its scope, which currently only defines limits for exposure of workers to artificial optical radiation to the eyes and skin and completely excludes exposure of workers to sunlight. “Prevention is simple and cheap, and skin cancer is one of the few cancers entirely curable if detected early,” commented Dr. Swen Malte John, one of the editors of the report.
