Project Description:

The purple protector is a color-changing sunscreen inspired by Elmer’s Disappearing Glue that aims to reduce the yearly skin cancer diagnoses and issues associated with sun damage. We do this providing a visual representation of the proper amount and area of sunscreen application with a fun purple color that turns clear once the product is fully spread and absorbed.
