PLYMOUTH, Mass. -- Proderma Products, LLC – maker of popular sun and skin care products formulated specifically for golfers – has announced the availability of its broad-spectrum, SPF 15 and SPF 45 sunscreens.
The two new formulas round out Proderma’s line of botanically enriched sunscreens, which now includes SPF 15, 30, 45 and new and enhanced Prism – recently rated as an SPF 50. The company’s robust sun and skin care suite now features 13 products, including Windscreen, Hand Lotion, SPF 18 Facial Moisturizer, SPF 18 Body Lotion, SPF 30 Lip Balm, SPF 30 Face Stick, Burn Gel, Moonscreen (works overnight for morning tee times), and DEET-based Bugscreen.
Product Capsules:
SPF 15 – A broad-spectrum formula containing UVA-absorbing Parsol 1789, Proderma SPF 15 contains moisturizing shea and cocoa butter, as well as pomegranate, lycopene and green tea extract for maximum skin conditioning. Fortified with vitamins A, C and E, SPF 15 is non-greasy, non-sticky and PABA-free. Suggested retail: $4.50 (2 oz.), $9.50 (4 oz.).
SPF 45 – A broad-spectrum, quick-drying formula built on the company’s’ proprietary Prism platform (containing ABS-ZN45 technology including transparent zinc oxide for maximum UVA and UVB protection). Proderma SPF 45 features the same natural moisturizing agents as SPF 15. Also fortified with vitamins A, C and E, SPF 45 is Aloe Vera based, PABA-free and is very sweat/ water resistant. Suggested retail: $6 (2 oz.), $11 (4 oz.)
“These exciting new formulas give golfers and outdoor enthusiasts a full range of sun protection products from which to choose,” says Mike Argyelan, CEO of Proderma Products, L.L.C. “Golfers especially spend hundreds of hours exposed to the sun’s harmful rays, and both products provide an extraordinary level of protection to help prevent skin cancer.”
Featuring the only sunscreens for golfers to earn the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation for safety and effectiveness, Proderma products have passed a series of stringent scientific examinations. This is critical given the substantial time golfers are exposed to the sun’s damaging rays and other outdoor elements that lead to more than $1 billion spent annually on skin-cancer surgery.
A staggering one in five Americans develops skin cancer, and each year one million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. Educating golfers, specifically those under the age of 18, about skin protection is key given that:
-- one serious incidence of sunburn during childhood can cause irreversible skin damage that may double the probability of contracting a life-threatening skin ailment later in life;
-- by the age of 18, most people have received 50 percent of their lifetime sun exposure; and
-- regular application of sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 during the first 18 years of life can significantly lower the risk of some types of skin cancer by more than 75 percent.
SPF 15 and 45 are available in select proshops throughout the U.S. that carry Proderma’s 13-line product suite or can be purchased by visiting www.prodermaproducts.com , e-mailing info@prodermaproducts.com or calling 800.447.3035
