Spray Sunscreen

Spray Sunscreen


Looking for an easy way to apply sunscreen, particularly in remote locations and without interruption. Since this cartridge is known as systems developers "bag-in-valve" was introduced in 2005.

Now almost everywhere these products offer convenience, but at what cost?

Sitting on the beach in Mexico last time I saw a woman upwind spray can I use to apply sunscreen. In the summer I could see the cloud of spray-skin in their cartoons, as well as many signatures, and soon the smell of perfume about 12 yards into the wind. It makes me wonder: what is the price comfortable?

Consider first the price convenience. With the price Walmart [06/06/10] Coppertone Sport Lotion is 30, for example, $ 1.31/oz $ 0.99/oz while comparing versions Spray, 32% more on the board. Equalizing the store brand version of lotion for $ 0.63/oz $ 0.83/oz spray version, and 32%. Equalizing save 30 Lotion Spray Coppertone Sport Sports .68/oz gasoline instead of $ 0 is required for 2-to-one activities.

But what is important is the actual delivery of sunscreen applied to the skin as a spray or lotion. Scientific tests have shown that only about 50% of aerosols attached to the skin. Recalculation of the actual cost of the unit makes Coppertone Sport spray 2.62/applied $ oz, while the version equate up to $ 1.66/applied oz This makes the cost of sunscreen on skin that delivered 165% more expensive than spraying, as a lotion. Surprisingly, you are $ 21 Coppertone Sport spray, which gives the same as 8 oz lotion tube sports can be purchased directly on the skin pre-paid, $ 16 for comfort. Can be delivered to the skin penetration of solar setback because of low aerosol. Semi-clogged lotions provide the best asset to the skin. The good news is that the test should be the FPS playing field by evaluating the actual effectiveness, if the last test.

In addition to the relative cost of spray delivery surcharges / fees. Spray delivery depending on the vehicle are volatile, such as alcohol that can sting or dry skin and is very flammable. Finally, it is clear to evaluate the spray coverage difficult, while the lotion that you can view the application and scope. Conversely, there are other values ​​for the application of lotions and moisturizers, antioxidants, moisturizers, ointments, vitamins and other skin protection. These and other advantages, should not be underestimated.

Besides practical considerations, price / cost-benefit trade-off between the two forms, the issue of "security." Every time a jet driven by the drops can be inhaled. In general, the larger the diameter of the aerosol droplets were transported deeper into the respiratory tract. To provide most of the aerosol nozzle, the distribution is much larger than the diameter of the cut needs to penetrate deep into the lungs (peak at 0.1um). However, I prefer to limit the application to the skin or eyes --- to the respiratory tract.

Spray delivery advantages, among others: not easy to reach some areas reached by hand, no mess and quick dry. The disadvantages are: the relatively high cost, uneven coverage of contestable can be used on the face, lack of materials that are healthy for the skin, and exposure to aerosols. The biggest cost driver is expected to packaging, not the alcohol and drugs.

We conclude that consumers will find more benefits and better value in ordinary lotions and much lower than the actual price per unit. Spray sunscreen for, the value of your comfort and trust value. The best delivery system is the second person with good hands. Completion of the brands include Aveeno (J & J), Neutrogena (J & J), Banana Boat (Energizer), Bullfrog (Chattem / Sanofi), No-Ad (No-Ad), Hawaiian Tropic (Tan Research Labs) and store brands .
