Hint Sunscreen is a fruit-scented sunscreen created by the same essences and flavorings used in hint water! So, if you've ever tried (& loved) the taste of hint water, you'll definitely love the scent of hint sunscreen!

Hey everyone!! So excited to see Hint Sunscreen here :) Feel free to comment any questions and myself or @mrsharma will respond throughout the day!
We launched hint water 12 years ago because I couldn't figure out why I wasn't able to lose weight even while eating, sleeping, and exercising the right way. I cut diet soda for 2 weeks and lost 20 lbs. So, hint water was born out of necessity.
Then, about 2-3 years ago, I noticed I started growing pre-cancer cells on my nose. My doctor couldn't figure out exactly what it was, so I started looking into it. It was the oxybenzones & parabens within the facial creams I was using, including sunscreen!
So, out of necessity, I did the same thing and made my own sunscreen. This time, I made sure that 1. it doesn't have oxybenzones and parabens, but also 2. that it has a great scent.
We did a soft-launch recently with 3 flavors of hint sunscreen spray: grapefruit, pineapple, and pear.
Feel free to ask any questions!

Hovercode@mrsharma @karagoldin Not related to the product - but is there anywhere I can read more about your experience with cutting diet soda and the effects? Also - do you sell Hint water in the UK?

Product HuntFunny, @suzywillow discovered Hint Sunscreen while prepping for Coachella earlier this year. It smells so good... if only it was edible. Or is it, @karagoldin? 🤔

Great, can you make it a sunscreen with only good ingredients? Paraben and oxybenzones are just the very tip of the iceberg of all the toxic chemicals found in sunscreens. If you go to http://www.ewg.org/sunscreen, you get an idea of all hundreds of different sunscreens on this planet and the handful that actually rates as 1. Even the Honest sunscreen rates as a 3. As a mom, it is really hard to find a good acceptable one so I hope you go the right way in manufacturing it. Thanks!
