SmartShield: The Perfect Sunscreen for
Outdoor Workers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 3, 2007

DALLAS, TX, March 3, 2007 - The United States military, NASA, and leading construction and industrial companies have chosen new, improved SmartShield sunscreen because of the many favorable features of this product.

SmartShield's improved formula provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and contains Vitamins A, C and E. The sunscreen is PABA free, waterproof, sweatproof and is safe for all skin types.

Unlike oil-based sunscreens that lie on top of the skin and can pick up dirt, dust and grime, SmartShield immediately bonds with the top layers of the skin and prevents pores from getting clogged or capturing heat. This invisible and natural feeling protective shield allows the skin to perspire naturally and stay cooler.

Because the product is oil-free, it is safe for use with work gloves, will not stain uniforms, and will not corrode flame-retardant materials. SmartShield meets OSHA's requirements to protect employees from prolonged sun exposure.

SmartShield is oil-free and unlike many sunscreens, doesn't harm lineman's rubber gloves or transfer greasy residue to tools and equipment.

SmartShield SPF 30 sprays and lotions were tested on linesman's rubber insulating 14 inch, class 2 rubber gloves and shown to not to harm or deteriorate them.

The product is available in cost efficient applications for large numbers of workers. Visit www.smartshield.com for more information and purchase products online.

SmartShield Products are also available on the GSA Advantage website: www.gsaadvantage.gov. GSA Advantage has nearly half a million registered users worldwide and is the most widely used shopping website in the federal government.
