Details

We’ve been developing this product for about a year, and recently I had occasion to try it out. I take medication for high blood pressure (I keep asking for Valium but for some reason, when I get to the pharmacy, it's not what's in the little white bag) that, I just found out, has this weird side effect of making me super-susceptible to sunburn. I got a nasty one on my arms after taking a long walk out to the Golden Gate Bridge but it didn’t start hurting until later that night. I’m not one to complain (just ask Jack!) but I thought I was going to die. We had a bottle of this stuff at home so I slathered it on and was kind of amazed. I mean, I believe in our stuff and we’d done testing on other people who said this product was great but you don’t really believe it (at least I don’t) until it’s you. The pain subsided immediately and I kept using it over the next few days and didn’t peel, plus I just liked it as an effective after-sun skin conditioner. Bottom line: I'm not going anywhere without it. To find out why, if you’ve just landed on this detail page and haven’t read about how we included rare, amazing natural skin remedies that Greeks and Romans and American Indians have used for literally millennia, you should go to the main description page and check out the info. (Just click on “Moisturizers, Masks, Shaving” under the Products menu on the top left.)

[In pre-release testing] People who liked it said: “I got burned after surfing without a wetsuit on a bright day. The stuff works;” “I know I’m not supposed to lay out but I like the way I look with a tan. I’m careful not to burn but I used the balm anyway. My skin looked better and I kept my tan longer; “Best burn remedy I ever used.”

People who didn’t like it said they didn’t like the lemony scent.
