The original product dates to 1944, when pharmacist Benjamin Green invented a lotion to darken tans. The product line has been expanded to include many skin care products, predominantly sunscreens. Coppertone has become the leading sun care brand in the United States, with annual $9 billion in global sales.

Beiersdorf, in turn, now owns, manufactures and distributes the Coppertone products, and also created or authorized the labeling for the products.

The Coppertone formula is an SPF 50, broad-spectrum lotion with only one active ingredient: zinc oxide. The Coppertone excelled in tests where mineral options normally fell short, namely in ease of application and sunscreen visibility. The lotion itself is thin enough that it applies smoothly to the skin.

Coppertone – a trusted name in sun care Founded in 1944, Coppertone was the first sun care brand launched in the U.S. market. Today, the brand is synonymous for sun protection in the United States and is also successful in such countries as Canada and China.

Coppertone has pioneered the Suncare industry as a brand of “firsts” for over 78 years and counting. Our mission is to provide unbeatable protection that empowers you and yours to seize all of the wonderful opportunities the sun creates.

Coppertone is a great brand and this sunscreen is no exception. I love that it's formulated specifically for the face and includes hydrating products. It goes on light and absorbs well.

This sunscreen is really great for the price. It is somewhat oily though, so I would not recommend using it on the face. Other than that, the sunscreen is really lightweight and an overall decent find.
