Drinkable Suntan Lotion
New from Osmosis Skincare. A suntan lotion that you don't need to rub all over your skin. You just drink it. The Bristol Post explains:
Not only drinkable, but holistic! That certainly sounds credible.
Osmosis Skincare have created Harmonised H2O UV Protection, which claims to stop harmful rays with liquid molecules that vibrate on the skin. Dr Ben Johnson is the founder of US company, Osmosis Skincare. He explains that "The liquid molecules vibrate on the skin, cancelling approximately 97% of the UVA and UVB rays before they hit the skin."
The drinkable solution is supposedly the equivalent of factor 30 SPF sun screen.

Does the snake this oil came from still live?

If it had been endorsed by Dr. Ben Dover then I might have taken an interest.

Holistic? More like homeopathic, which is a fancy word for "contains no active ingredients".

I can see people believing it.
A guy at work got a rash from the chemicals in the dip. The plant nurse gave him a bottle of calamine lotion. A very short while later, he had a rash and stomach cramps.
It was noted in the incident report that if he'd read "External Use Only' on the bottle, he'd probably have stepped outside before drinking it.

Sounds like something they´d sell to people in Florida, man those people are stupid (just ask Jeb)

I assume this only works if you sweat out the liquid.
I sweat in places the sun doesn't shine. But if the molecules are vibrating this can be a side bonus...

All that's missing from this is the "Not available in any store! Call now! But wait, there's more!" advert with the klutz who can't get the hang of applying traditional sun protection without getting it all over the furniture, walls, pet and so on. Operators are standing by.

My drinkable solution is getting drunk in the shade.

@ Mr evilwrench. It actually means; We don't know, We don't care & We don't give a DAMN.

You know it's bovine shite when even Brizzle Polytechnic tells you it's bovine shite.

That, or, "we've figured out how to profit by selling you water".
"Operaters are standing. Bye!"

This has to be a parody. Nobody would be stupid enough to sell something like this nowadays and not leave themselves open to HUGE lawsuits as people get melanoma left right and centre.

Melanoma on the outside and God knows what other cancer on the inside from drinking it.

Melanoma takes years to develop. The sellers would be living in a different country under a different name long before anyone might sue.
OTOH, people who get badly sunburned can be very testy -- I'd be afraid of a herd of human lobsters wanting to burn me at the stake.

Speaking of 'human lobsters' the Brits will be coming back soon on vacation with their lily white skin and anklets.

Don't forget the white socks in sandals, Expat. And the baggy shorts.

You and me both, brokedad! I wonder how it is mixed with tequila?
