It's Time to Oil Your Neck

There’s no getting around it. We love the giant ball of blazing gas in the sky. We really do. The second we see it, our brain tells our body to run to the nearest beer garden, stand with a cold beer in our hand, and say sentences like: “Well, this is the life”, or “It’s like being in Spain”, or “the Sun’s hot today”. We are not a complicated species. However, when it comes to protecting ourselves from that same cosmic heat source, we, as a nation, are not good. Did you know that only 18% of Brits wear skin protection while enjoying a drink in the sun? Come on humans. It’s not hard. It’s a perfect ball of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion, you’re gonna need some protection.

When we heard this, we at Beavertown were faced with two options: We could either, at enormous risk and company-crippling cost, attempt to cool the sun down. OR we could create our very own range of [non-drinkable] factor 50 sunscreen, ideally based around the name of one of our best-selling products. And after a brief chat with the scientists and financial experts we came to a decision.

We’ve teamed up with LifeJacket Skin Protection to give away 10,000 free ‘Oil Your Neck’ factor 50 sunscreens over the course of the summer, available in beer gardens and pubs across the UK. We’ll also add a couple thousand free sachets into webshop orders for good measure*

Beavertown. We’ve got you covered... in sunscreen.
