[...] We hate normal sunblock. We only like to use the alcohol based variety which can be very hard to get hold of. Since we both have definite Northern European complexions we burn easily and require a lot of block. So… we simply bought several tubes and decanted them into a Platy Bottle. With the Firelite Spout it went on really nicely. (Sorry, BPL don’t stock them any longer, probably because they sometimes leaked when used with meths in a Platybottle but it worked fine with the gel).

Hi Dave,

this is great stuff! Thanks for the tip. I have been able to try the Care Plus Gel out when I was at the OutDoor fair in Friedrichshafen. Get’s soaked into the skin immediately, leaves no greasy or oily film and is only very slightly perfumed. And as stated very concentrated, too. Immediate convert!
