Actor Will Ferrell recently teamed up with the organization Cancer for College to launch his own line of charitable sunscreen. While the comedian is not an obvious choice for a suncare spokesperson, the humorous new product demonstrates a clever way to get consumers talking about the importance of sun protection.
Farrell's new product is a charitable sunscreen called Sexy Hot Tan. The product is packaged in a squeezable tube adorned with a picture of the actor wearing nothing but a sparkly Speedo. Below the actor's image is a tagline that reads: "Mega Amounts of the Same Ingredients Make You Sexier and Hotter Than Ever Before." Despite the hilarious packaging, the SPF 30 sunscreen is fully-functional and sales go towards Cancer For College, which provides scholarships for children affected by skin cancer.
