  1. Hello everyone,

    I last week saw a very interesting announcement about this new product that someone has recently invented. Please come with your opinion and tell us what you think.

    In summertime, parents many times have a tough job applying Suncare lotions and such to their kids cause the kids simply find it disgusting, annoying or they simply dont have the time nor patience cause playing around is far more fun.

    We all know how dangerous the sun is and especially to our kids, so it is a MUST !

    Now ... this genious guy has invented a product you can pour into i.e. these plastic pools you can blow up with air and place in your garden and where the kids can swim around and enjoy the water and cool down. This liquid SunCare lotion with protecting stuff in it (factor and the like) simply automatically adheres itself to the skin while the kids are swimming or playing around in the pool so they get all the suncare protection needed - ALL over the body and no spots are missed out. Even when they jump out of the pool, they will be protected for several hours he claims !

    The guy also guarantees that the suncare product is harmless to clothes, hair, mouth, throat, ears and nose and to swallow.

    What you think of this new product / invention ??

    How could he possible guarantee that it isn't harmful if swallowed(which happens a lot in a pool)? Has it been tested by the FDA? Interesting idea but I'd need more info.

    It has of course been tested, but of course if you drink the whole pool you will get sick ..lol .. thats also how it is even with drinking coke in large quantities !

    WOW! I'd try it!
    I have brown hair and fair skin...actually I look like a chocolate chip cookie (freckles). I am lazy and forgetful. I welcome sunblock for lazy- folks- that know better! I just worry about fitting into this pool you talk about! :roll

    If it is indeed safe, it seems like a excellent idea.

    No .. as I wrote, this is something I cam a cross and found really interesting and useful. Many inventions and new products are crazy or useless, but I thought this one was cool.

    I wanted to share the idea with others and hear if I was alone with my positive attitude.

    I, too, have never heard of this. The following questions interest me:

    1. How much of this stuff would you have to put in how much water for it to be effective, and

    2. How much does it cost?

    No idea yet ..... but I am pretty sure it will be relatively no more expensive than normal suncare lotions.

    How you like the idea though ?

    Some people have very sensitive skin, and could be allergic to something that the majority can tolerate.

    I'm very leary of most of the claims manufacturers make; they'll say anything to make a buck.
