A Brief History
SolRx began in 1981 with the introduction of Burn-Off for sunburn relief.
We were the first drug company in the U.S. to go completely paba-free with formulations: 1984
We were the first to create a true waterproof system, in the mid 1980’s
We re-entered the business in 1990 and launched the nation’s first “sports only” sunscreens.
During the ensuing years, we added multiple brand names to our original Saurus Pro Sport, now called SolRx, and signed a license with Ironman Triathlon to make sunblock under that name, and following that, a global license with Nissan Xterra to produce Xterra brand sunblock. (this after spending 7 years making Ironman sunblock, licensed from Ironman Triathlon, until we dropped the license in favour of Xterra).
We also made Block & Tackle, Golf, Slopes, WaterBlock, and obtained the Rubber Ducky trademark to make Rubber Ducky children’s sunblock.
Having developed some new highly waterproof technology, we contacted AMA testing labs in 1991 and asked them to create for us a true 8 hour waterproof test that would exceed any standards the FDA might set, if they had such a test. The test was created and we submitted our SPF #30. It went through at SPF #35.83—what was more interesting was that at the beginning of the test, it rated the same: the first and only formulation ever to go through a waterproof test with 100% function and zero washoff. General Manager of AMA Labs told me the owner exclaimed “that’s impossible: we made an error”, and they re-ran the tests, ending up with the same results, on different people, and we rank #1 today in waterproof technology.
In 1996, we introduced the SPF #44 product and it also went through the test with 100% function/zero wash-off, rating 44.83 after 8 hour on the wearer, 6 hours of which were in the water..
We continued with “sports only”and made 8 brands of sunscreen, 7 for sports, one for children and one specialty line called RADX, for patients with cancer.
New spray on sunscreen was introduced in April, 2007, and quickly sold out. Spray-Dry SPF #35 also went through the AMA labs 8 hour waterproof test, with an SPF rating of 35 after 8 hours, 6 hours of which were in the water. We think Spray-Dry is the the industry’s only 8 hour waterproof spray sunscreen, and utilizes our WaterBlock waterproof system.
For 2005, we elected to upgrade formulations once again, adding the widely recognized “UVA” blocker, Parsol 1789 to 3 of our formulations.
Our entire sunblock line is Paraben-Free. New RADX formulations due in for summer 2009, are all Paraben-Free.
Saurus SPF #30 lip/nose product in jar, with waterproofing system, is now Paraben-Free.
New for spring 2009, a Zinc sunscreen.
We’ve stayed away from that for years because zinc is pasty feeling, and leaves either white, or white sheen on the skin. We brought in some Z-cote, a pretty clear version of zinc, blended it with some of our chemical sunblocks, added Waterblock waterproof system and produced a zinc sunscreen we feel is the best in the business. In Fall, 2008 we sent it through the 8 hour waterproof test and it wowed the test panel and ourselves, coming in as SPF #40! We’ve introduced spring 2009 as an 8 Hour Facial Clear Kote—Dry Zinc SPF #40, and then summer 2009 in a tube for application onto body. Unfgragranced.
Our goals are pretty simple: We make, and will continue to make, the most effective waterproof sunblocks in the world.
