The Test
8-Hour Waterproof and Sweatproof tests were conducted using a panel of female Caucasians with skin types that either burn easily or sometimes burn when exposed to sun. Sunscreen was applied as prescribed by test instructions. A static SPF test was performed and our products were rated SPF 44.83. Testing was then initiated. Subjects were subjected to 30-minute intermittent periods in water using whirlpool at 75-80 degrees F, circulation jets on and jogging in place for the duration of immersion periods.

Tests were performed for 16 periods of alternating 30-minute immersions, 10-minutes out, yielding 8 hours (480 minutes) of immersion time. (80 minutes in and out of water is normal testing time on sunscreen/sunscreen products. Look for this information on the product.)

The Results

At end of the initial testing, products maintained rating of SPF 44 or higher. No adverse effects or any unexpected reactions of any kind were observed on any of the subjects, during or after any of the tests.

More Testing

A more recent test version was adjusted to be 12 periods of alternating 30 minute immersions with 10 minute dry periods. More Results―For All Brands

* All products rated SPF 44 maintained SPF ratings of 44 or greater.
* Products rated SPF 35 and 30 rated 35.83

SolRx ‘WaterBlock’ Waterproofing

What makes this product superior to “brand x”. It is the waterproofing system, and its accompanying GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) mixing system. Here’s a general synopsis: In order to make an emulsion (lotion), traditional technology uses what is called an oil phase and a water phase. The various chemicals in the mix are segmented into these two phases, mixed, heated and blended. There are chemicals in every emulsion that are in there specifically to hold the mixture together. What we’ve accomplished is unique: we actually take the sunscreens and use the mixing of those, as the oil phase. We therefore, don’t need to add any oils to the mix, to make it so, we achieve an oil-free product.

The waterproof system is unique in the industry: nothing else used by anyone else is even similar. Without divulging anything proprietary, the essence of this system is that we use ingredients not used by anyone else in the business. The product, while in its state in the tube, is not waterproof: it becomes waterproof once applied to skin. One or more of the ingredients actually changes chemical structure and part of it evaporates into the air, allowing the waterproof system to bond to the skin. The system is light, won’t clog pores, and allows skin to breathe. There is no body core heating associated with this system, as there is with some of the “drug store” sunscreens.

There is a carrier lotion, of course, to deliver the system to the skin. Once in water, that goes away, leaving only a slightly perceptible presence of the product. Lab tests, performed several times during the last 14 years, have repeatedly shown the system to perform to 100% level, every test, every person. This, too, is unique to us: all other sunscreens use an “averaging” system to obtain their spf rating---for example, 20 people are tested, each has his own spf rating using their products, and the average is the allowable FDA claim for SPF. In our product’s case, every person tested rated the same, and each person rated the same SPF at the start of the test, as she did at the end of the test. The conclusion is that the product provided its full label claim protection during the entire test period and experienced no deterioration during the 8 hour period during which the test was conducted. Both features are exceptional against the norm.

We have had various people, involved in extended field-testing of our products. They would apply the product and then wash off with only fresh water, no soap. What we learned on several different tests, was that the product would remain on the skin, providing sun protection, for 3-4 days!! To Further this, we had a horse breeder in Kauai, Hawaii. She was having trouble with the horses’ muzzles burning on the light colored horses. After applying our SPF #35 sunscreen, she found that it would be on the 4th day that she would need to reapply. We’ve been contacted by 4 individuals, none of whom we know, to tell us they were on climbs to the Himalayas, and everyone else on the climb, except them, came back with lip problems—our lip product performs equally exceptionally to the sunscreen.

SPF #30 in stick form, and SPF #30 in ¼ oz. jar also happens to be the best in the business at preventing sunburn lips, salt water irritation and wind chap. These formulations are exceptional. Himalayan climbers and climbers to McKinley and Mt. Rainier have told us that once applied at base camp, then on 3-4 day climbs without re-application the product
