    Have you ever tried p20 sun lotion. I find it excellent. You apply it once a day (lasts 10 hours) and its totally water and towel proof so no need to reapply after a swim. It's better value too. It comes in factor 10,20&30. It gets great reviews

    Dont buy it in the shops here as it €39.99 in the chemists.

    I know that's not an answer to your question but its something to consider :)

    Don't forget your local pharmacy who may have it on offer.

    Thanks I have used P20 before I discovered Parasol and I find Parasol irritates my skin less.

    FYI I discovered this evening that Doc Morris will be doing half price 200ml P20 from May 6th.

    I think for the difference in price I can go with P20 this year!

    Just a general reminder to people about the dangers of sunscreen and some of the chemicals involved in UVA screening. Not familiar with parasol but hopefully it is one of the ones without phenomes or parabens. These have the ability to accelerate cancer and cause hormone disruption. The sun is not evil. Drugs companies selling dangerous chemicals as health promotors are. Getting burnt in the sun is not good..sun exposure is very beneficial and has a lot of health benefits..as opposed to using chemicals ,be sensible in the sun..use shade clothing and hats..not chemicals

    +1 for the Parasol over the p20 - find it great for an all day cover and soaks in v quickly.

    Sorry for dragging this slightly off topic, but does the Parasol or the P20 cover BOTH UVA & UVB all day? I know P20 was taken off the shelves by boots a few years ago because it didn't protect against UVA rays so was actually harmful as people thought they were fully protected.

    If you're in Dublin, Check out The Cosmetic Outlet on Meath Street. They're selling P20 and Parasol 20 @ €10 for 100ml & €20 for 200ml. They're on Facebook with their offers. Friend got some today & I'm heading in the morning to stock up. Parasol 20 for me as P20 tends to stain clothes.
