Industrial Sunscreens from SmartShield. We're Serious about Sun Protection.

How many of of the estimated 800,000 people that will develop skin cancer this year are on your payroll? Introducing a concept so revolutionary it could save your company's skin.

As an employer, you have a responsibility for the health of your employees. You provide protective eyewear, clothing and hard hats for employees working in high-risk environments. But for those employees working outdoors, you may be overlooking on of the biggest risks of all, over exposure to the sun.

Think about it. One out of seven people get skin cancer every year. Malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, is now increasing faster than any other type of cancer. In 1990, an estimated $1.1 billion was spent on melanoma treatment in the Medicare program alone. And by 2010, this cost is expected to exceed $5 billion.

The American Academy of Dermatology calls melanoma "an undeclared epidemic."

Scientists tell us that the deterioration of the ozone layer is a contributing factor. Because more harmful ultraviolet rays are reaching the earth's surface now than at any other time in history.

The point is skin cancer is serious. It's an important occupational illness. Those diagnosed with skin cancer are most often told by the doctor to remain out of the sun-a significant complication for outdoor workers and their employers. Another important consideration is today's soaring health care costs. Putting Preventive in place now can help offset those costs and keep your company's health insurance rates at a more affordable level. What's more, employees who have developed skin cancer while working outdoors are filing a growing number of lawsuits against employers. The good news is that there is really a very easy and cost-efficient way to protect your employees from skin cancer. It's called SmartShield.

Introducing SmartShield.

SmartShield is a professional sunscreen product specially formulated for people who work and play outdoors.

Unlike others, SmartShield is formulated for everyday use, all year-round. It's a non-oily, non-greasy, non-sticky, non-staining lotion that absorbs quickly, forming a waterproof bond. SmartShield is rub-resistant and non-comedogenic -it won't clog pores in your skin. And there's no noticeable "sunscreen feel" even after multiple applications.

It's sweat proof; too-it won't run in yours eyes during activity. And it's hypoallergenic. Using Whole Leaf Aloe Vera gel as a carrier for the sun screening agents, it's very mild and gentle to your skin.

Dermatologist approved, SmartShield Sunscreens is a founding member of the National Coalition for Sun Safety (a group of 18 companies brought together by the American Academy of Dermatology to increase awareness of sun safety practices).

It's not a tanning lotion. It's serious protection.

SmartShield has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30 and provides 96% blockage of broad spectrum UVA and UVB rays.

The SPF rating indicates the number of times a person using this particular Sunscreen can be exposed to ultraviolet rays without burning, compared to someone not using sunscreen.

For example, let's say that a person without sunscreen could remain in the sun for 30 minutes before burning. The same person could remain in the sun 30 times longer and still not burn if his skin was protected by a sunscreen with SPF 30.

Even though there are products that have a higher SPF, most doctors Recommend SPF 30, which gives you 96.5% protection. Higher SPF products only give you 1% more protection. And the chemicals required to push the SPF beyond 30 have been shown to cause allergic relations.

Industrial strenth protection year-round

If you or your employees work outdoors, it's important to protect your skin with a quality sunscreen like SmartShield year-round, even in colder weather, areas such as your face, neck, ears, and hands are exposed to the sun. Even on cloudy, hazy days, 70 to 80% of the sun's ultraviolet rays reach the ground. And a light-colored shirt, wet from sweat or water, transmits almost as much ultraviolet as no shirt at all.

It's a very economical way to protect your employees

SmartShield is available in cost efficient wall-mounted dispensers with 24 oz. replacement bags. Bags can be replaced quickly and easily-with no mess. These convenient heavy-duty dispensers are identical to soap dispensers and this method of dispensing is very low cost per application.

SmartShield should be applied 20 to 30 minutes before going outside. (If applied to sweaty skin. SmartShield will not bond properly and will run off.)
