"Beautiful, silky smooth skin is a woman's greatest accessory, and we couldn't think of a better place to showcase new Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration™ lotion sunscreen than on the runway in Miami with the latest swimwear trends," said Minna Raffin, Sun Care Director, Energizer Personal Care, maker of Hawaiian Tropic® sun care products. "With its ultra-luxurious hydrating silk ribbons, it moves beyond typical sun care, providing ultimate protection and moisturization in one product." 

New Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration™ lotion sunscreen was developed to deliver intense moisture as a solution for dull and dry skin that is often a result of long days soaking up the sun. Its lightweight, hydrating ribbons are infused with luxurious silk protein and rich shea butter to pamper and protect skin when in the sun, providing 12-hour moisturization.  Like many other Hawaiian Tropic® lotion sunscreen products, Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration™ lotion sunscreen provides safe and effective broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection that won't break down in the sun, along with nourishing antioxidants, exotic island botanicals, a warm tropical fragrance and a lightweight, non-greasy feel.  It is available in SPF 12, 30 and 50.
