Since the 1960s sun tanning in the Western world has been on trend. Throughout the 70s and 80s sporting a deep, almost sun burnt, tan was very stylish. Since the 90s, especially in Australia, we've learnt the hard way about the extensive damage long stints in the sun can do your skin and health. Keep your employees and clients protected with your own branded promotional sunscreen.

Gone are the days of omitting sun screen in favor of a fast and deep tan. We now know that that hot, sensitive and painful redness of freshly sunburn skin can have long lasting effects like skin cancer. Additionally to the risk of skin cancer, being sun burnt is extremely unpleasant.
