Energizer Personal Care Honored by Skin Cancer Foundation

Energizer Personal Care, marketer of Banana Boat and Hawaiian Tropic brand sunscreens, was honored for its dedication to public education about sun protection at The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Annual Skin Sense Award Gala.

“We are honored to receive this award and are proud to be recognized as a leader in sun protection within the sun care industry,” said Al Robertson, general manager and chief marketing officer of Energizer Personal Care. “We’re committed to our partnership with The Skin Cancer Foundation and look forward to our continued work together to provide consumers with unsurpassed education on sun care to help protect their family’s skin.”

The Banana Boat and Hawaiian Tropic brands have both carried the Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation for almost two decades. Additionally, Banana Boat has underwritten the second year of the Foundation’s children’s education program, The Sensational Guide to Sun Safety: Fun in the Sun 101. Robertson accepted the award on behalf of Energizer Personal Care at The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Annual Skin Sense Award Gala held at The Pierre in New York City.

“Energizer Personal Care has been a long-standing partner and they are committed to helping us educate about the importance of sun protection,” said Perry Robins, MD, president, The Skin Cancer Foundation. “We are pleased to recognize them for their exceptional work in the sun care category and steadfast partnership with the Foundation.”

The Skin Sense Award Gala honors select members in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and publishing industries for their role in helping to educate the public about the dangers of skin cancer and the importance of sun protection. The gala raises money for The Skin Cancer Foundation and its public awareness programs, and on average, it brings in about $1 million.
