Wash-On™ | Asking For Aquea SPF

Since daily protection of even a “low” level sunscreen is at least as important as regular application of a sunscreen at the beach or pool, we have created Aquea SPF™, an ingredient so unique it is covered by four patents. The result of over fifteen years of specialized research, Aquea SPF™ is the first fully functional, clinically proven, safety-tested Wash-On™ UVA/UVB sunscreen ingredient that can be added to soaps, facial cleansers, body washes, shower gels and shampoos. And because it is water based, that feeling of fresh-washed cleanliness is enhanced – unlike the oily residue that most sunscreen products leave on your skin.

What does Wash-On™ mean to you? Imagine taking a shower and being automatically protected by your Body Wash or Shower Gel over every part of your body. Imagine shampooing and having your scalp shielded from the harmful rays (hair does not block UV). Imagine merely washing your face and having it protected.

Aquea SPF™ is not meant to replace the SPF 15 or SPF 30 sunscreens you use under intensive sun. But Aquea SPF™ does help protect against both UVA rays (associated with wrinkles and aging) and UVB rays (associated with sunburns). When used as an ingredient in any Wash-On™ product, Aquea SPF™ affords enough sun protection for everyday use by leaving a virtually undetectable shield on the skin. It’s a long-lasting shield because the double-layered positively charged microcapsules containing the sunscreen are attracted to our negatively charged skin like a magnet. And they stay attracted throughout the day even when showered and patted dry.

But you can't buy Aquea SPF™. So what can you do?
