Idea for Children's Suntan Lotion
As a skin cancer sufferer myself I understand now how important it is to protect children from sunburn. However, this can be problematic, as children want to play out in the sun for hours. Protecting children from the sun and applying suntan lotion can be a real drama!
So, I invented something fun, wacky, and wonderful for kids and grown-up kids to use. Its basically waterproof sunblock in different colours, with the added ingredient of magic i.e. glitter. (Gold glitter seems to work best)
Here are the names and colours:
Pirate Paint - black
Space Dust - green with glitter
Monster Paint - Orange
Ghost (Scare Your Sister) Paint - White
Pixie Paint - Yellow with pink and blue glitter
Fairy Dust - Pink with glitter
Mermaid Paint - Blue with glitter
Unicorn Paint - Purple with glitter
Its basic sun block with tiny amount of food colouring added and the glitter but I'm sure some research teams can come up with some better way. Its not meant to evaporate or moisturise in to the skin as its like a paint and kids want to see their crazy colours and glitter.
So, if there are any scientists and chemists out there reading this please make sun safety fun and by all means use these ideas.
