Physicians Give Their Patients the BEST in Sun Protection!

With the recent class-action lawsuit filed against several popular sunscreen brands, physicians are left wondering what products really give sufficient protection from the sun and which they can confidently suggest to their patients. Now, a sunscreen that is considered invaluable in Australia is being exposed as the USA’s best-kept sun protection secret due to its superior UVA-fighting capabilities.

“Blue Lizard Australian Suncream has been tested and formulated to Australian health standards, which, because Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world, are more stringent than those set in the United States,” said Mark Rubin, M.D., a Los Angeles-based cosmetic dermatologist.

According to Dr. Rubin, there are several unique features that set Blue Lizard Australian Suncream apart. Although most U.S. sunscreens protect consumers from the UVB spectrum, it’s the UVA rays that are most harmful. Those penetrate deeper into the skin and can cause premature aging and skin cancer. Because in Australia sunscreens must protect against 90 percent of UVA (the United States has no standard of protection against UVA), Blue Lizard goes beyond basic UVB protection by incorporating powerful UVA barriers Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. These ingredients, the safest and most effective for sun protection, are not often found in U.S. sunscreens.In fact, most U.S. sunscreens that claim to contain Zinc Oxide only contain about 1 or 2 percent. Blue Lizard contains 10 percent Zinc Oxide in their unique super micronized formula that blends easily onto the skin forming an even barrier against UV rays.

Secondly, Blue Lizard sunscreen has been labeled as “very water resistant,” retaining its SPF after 240 minutes in moving water. The FDA only requires sunscreens to protect for up to 80 minutes in still water.

Also, Blue Lizard sunscreen has patented Smart Bottle™ technology that enables the bottle to change color when exposed to harmful UVA rays. This serves as a compelling visual reminder for patients to apply sunscreen.
Blue Lizard sunscreen is available through physicians’ offices and physician recommendation. “We feel it is important to go directly to the physicians for approval and validity,” said Jeff Bedard, CEO of Crown Laboratories Inc., parent company of Blue Lizard. Blue Lizard offers a variety of specially formulated sunscreens, including Blue Lizard Regular, Blue Lizard Face, Blue Lizard Baby, Blue Lizard Sport and Blue Lizard Sensitive.

“With the recent confusion over sunscreens, it’s nice to know that I can provide my patients with a product I know has been held to the highest standards in the world,” added Dr. Rubin. “Blue Lizard is bringing the United States the best in sun protection from down under!”
