The days of carrying bottles of suncream to the beach could be over, as the world’s first drinkable SPF is launched.
Harmonised H20 UV claims to provide holidaymakers with up to factor 30 protection, meaning sunbathers could be able to soak up the rays for longer without fear of getting burned.
Once ingested, the product’s liquid molecules vibrate on the skin, cancelling out 97 per cent of UVA and UVB rays, according to US company Osmosis Skincare.
Increased protection: The new liquid could mean sunbathers could soak up the rays for longer
Drinkable sun cream: The two liquids – tanning and non-tanning – are on sale costing £17
The liquid sunscreen – which claims to be the world’s first – is on sale now, costing £17 for a 100ml bottle.
There are two varieties available – ‘tanning’ and ‘non tanning’, the former allows users achieve a tan while being protected from harmful sun rays.
On its website, the medical skincare brand advises: ‘Take 2ml every 4 hours while in the sun (preferably with 2+ oz of water).Â
‘Wait 1 hour before exposure to the sun. Monitor sun exposure carefully.Â
‘Take second dose if still in sun 3 hours after first dose.
‘For extended intense exercise outdoors or if taking sun-sensitizing medications, use alternate protection after 30-40 minutes.’
Dr Ben
Johnson, who founded the company, adds in his blog: ‘If 2 mls are
ingested an hour before sun exposure, the frequencies that have been
imprinted on water will vibrate on your skin in such a way as to cancel
approximately 97% of the UVA and UVB rays before they even hit your
skin.Â
‘This results in coverage for approximately three hours. Â
‘This is similar to the amount of UV
reflection created by SPF 30 titanium/zinc sunblocks but distinctly
better than UVB chemical sunscreens which prevent certain damage that
leads to the visible/painful/inflammation reaction we identify as sun
damage.’
Harmonised H20 is yet to be endorsed by
dermatologist bodies, however, the company website does carry
testimonials for the product.
The end for lotion? The new drinkable liquid offers up to factor 30 protection
One, submitted via Facebook, said: ‘I tested the UV Protection Harmonized Water (my skin burns in 15 minutes w/o sunscreen so i was nervous) SUCCESS!! I was outside for 2 hours with NO sunscreen during peak hours and wasn’t even pink!
‘My year and a half year old drinks it as well and hasn’t burned once this summer and is outside everyday! Thank You, Thank You for this product!’

this would make it easier to go outside naked and not have to worry about getting burned in certain areas since no spot would be missed.

There’s already drinkable sun screen for women but it doesn’t protect the consumer only their offspring.

It was only a few days ago that some of the leading manufacturers of sun creams were caught out lying over the strength of UV protection in their products. Only a fool would believe this.

This article should be removed to prevent people falling for this expensive con. This nonsense is just homeopathy disguised under another name. These bottles contain no ingredients just plain water. Saying the water has been imprinted with magical UV blocking vibrations is just complete and utter garbage.

As a scientist, this is a load of rubbish, and so dangerous. Please retract the article DM and don’t encourage people to use it!!

I notice on the website for this product it says:
Disclaimer: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
I think I’d want to see some scientific research, clinical trials, that sort of thing before trusting my skin health to a bottle of water. Maybe the lack of these is why Dermatologists aren’t putting their name to it?
