(More customer reviews)I purchased this product for my mother and brother because they went to Jamaica a few weeks ago and they are very light skinned and don't really get a suntan at all and I did not want them to get a nasty sunburn being in Jamaica in the summer. The sun is extremely strong there, especially since it is near the equator.
Anyway they used it and did not get a sunburn and they did get some color from being in the sun. There was one problem though. There is an ingredient in this Ocean Potion Anti-Aging SPF 30 lotion. It is one of the sunscreen ingredients called " Avobenzone ".
If you don't let the lotion completely dry before putting on your clothes OR if you sweat while you are wearing the lotion, that ingredient ( Avobenzone ) will turn your clothes orange in spots where the clothes touch the skin where it is wet from sweating, especially if the clothes are cotton and light colored or white.
Here is what I found out about it on Google...
" For some reason, depending on where you live, (because of the differences in the water of different regions) Avobenzone can cause a yellow discoloration on white cotton clothing. "
This happened to 3 of my mom's blouses and 4 of my brothers T-shirts and a dress shirt.
I was able to get the " stains" out from using a laundry spot pre-treater and then also I soaked them in the washing machine in hot water with a few scoops of OXYCLEAN and I let the washing machine run for 2 minutes to get a lather going and then I stopped it and I let the clothes sit in the washing machine with Oxyclean overnight. Then the next morning ( 8 hours of soaking ) I added laundry detergent ( the brand " ALL " ) and let the washing cycle continue and finish and then I put the clothes in the dryer and the stains were gone.
If you don't have Oxyclean, I am sure that almost any good, name brand laundry detergent, like " Tide, Purex, Cheer, Wisk or ALL ", would help if you used them to pre-treat the orange areas, rub it in, and then put the clothes in the washing machine with a capful or 2 of the same laundry detergent. Fill the washing machine with hot water and let it run for a few minutes to work up a lather then turn it off and let soak over night and you should get the same results I had from using Oxyclean.
So be careful when using this product. Make sure it is completely dry on your skin before you put your clothes on and if you start to sweat, well I guess you will just have to take a chance. At least now you know there is a way to get rid of the orange stains off a cotton white or light colored shirt. The orange spots were on the parts of the shirts on the shoulders,the elbow areas, and parts of the front of the shirt that hit the stomach area,
Other than the orange issue, this product works great as far as protecting peoples skin from getting a sunburn.
Thanks for reading this. Have a great summer !
