COPPERTONE® WHIPS UP A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LOVE SUNSCREEN

Whippany, NJ (June 15, 2017) – Bayer, the maker of Coppertone®, is revolutionizing the sunscreen experience this season with new Coppertone® Whipped, a transformative sunscreen unlike anything you’ve ever felt before. Not only is Coppertone introducing the first ever whipped sunscreen, it is rolling out a series of engaging activations throughout the summer to launch it, and partnering with everyone from beauty influencers to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

The Whipped line, available in both CLEARLYSheer® and WaterBABIES® Pure & Simple formulas, transforms the sunscreen application process from an ordinary task to an experience people can look forward to before they head out into the sunshine. While many other sunscreen lotions can feel heavy or sticky, Whipped has a rich and creamy texture, yet it absorbs quickly and feels light on skin. Plus it won't clog pores and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth while helping to protect it from the sun's harmful UV rays.
