Putting on sunscreen can be fun, quick and easy. Leave your messy tubes and bulky cans of sunblock at home.
Sunscreen Mist offers revolutionary Sun Care Application Systems. The full size Sunscreen Mist Booth and our compact, wand-based Sunscreen Mist Station evenly deliver Ocean Potion® or AlleveaTM, sun care products in amounts that meet or exceed the recommendations of the world's leading skin care authorities. Sunscreen Mist, Sun Care Systems are ideal for:
Resort and Luxury Residential Properties
Golf Courses and Country Clubs
Beach Concessions
Theme Parks
Outdoor Events and Work Sites
Sunscreen Mist is looking for equity investment for the purposes of marketing our successes and traction in partnering with existing sun care brands, establishing international and domestic distribution channels, and satisfying guests at luxury locations including the MGM Grand Las Vegas, Westin Diplomat, on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Kalahari Waterpark Resort and at the Coconut Bay Resort in St. Lucia.
Sunscreen Mist, the exclusive distributor, purchases the Booth and Station from its creator, Solar Shower Manufacturing, and either sells or places (at large or strategically important accounts) the Booth and Station in outdoor locations. The Booth and Station are sold under one of several structures with margins ranging from 20% to 60%. Currently have accounts at major hotels chains, resort Casinos, Cruise Lines, and waterparks.
Sunscreen Mist will derive the majority of its revenue from sales of the proprietary sunscreen formulas and licensing formulas from established brands. Sunscreen Mist has already established agreements to brand and sell sun care products from nationally distributed innovator, Ocean Potion, http://www.opotion.com/. Solutions are sold in 5 gallon (300 application) containers.
Properties, or organizations who operate the Booth, charge between $2.00 and $5.00 per application ($1 and $3 for the Station). This exceeds margins on sunscreen retail sales. This is extremely attractive to hotels and other hospitality locations which seek to maximize non-room revenue and provide the next level of service and convenience to guests.
Due to a range of factors, skin cancer rates have risen dramatically in recent decades. Medical studies reveal that a single bad sunburn in youth can lead to skin cancer later in life. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, sun exposure causes 90% of cosmetic skin damage. Sunscreen application is the primary method of protection from sun damage for adults and children. As a result, more adults are using sunscreen on themselves and 87% of parents use sunscreen on their children.
Traditional sunscreens are effective when applied frequently, evenly, and in the proper amount. In practice, these criteria are rarely met. Dermatologic research shows that sunscreen users only apply 25%-50% of the necessary amount. "Continuous Spray" sunscreens (delivered by a pressurized can) are currently viewed as the best delivery method. These products use alcohol (which stings the eyes), blow away in a slight breeze (preventing adequate coverage), are difficult to apply to the backside of the body without assistance, and cost approximately $2 per application ($11 per 6oz can).
At its core, Sunscreen Mist is a retailer of upscale skin care products. Sunscreen Mist is exploiting previously untapped retail locations in the outdoor locations of properties that find our innovative delivery system compatible with the needs and aspirations of their clientele. Sunscreen Mist products offer several advantages to buyers over traditional retail locations including, small footprint, low labor cost through automation, and recognition as a leader in offering guest amenities.
In less than a year since going to market, Sunscreen Mist has established accounts at 4 star resorts and established distributors in several states and the Caribbean.
