What is Safesea Lotion?

Safesea is a sunscreen product that combines sun protection with jellyfish sting protection. It has been shown to be effective against the most common types of jellyfish and against "sea lice" which are actually the larvae of Thimble jellyfish.

Safesea has not been tested against every type of jellyfish, but it has been tested against some of the most common and has been show to be very effective. Since all jellyfish have basically the same mechanism for stinging, it is believed to offer protection against all types of jellyfish. You should never intentionally come into contact with jellyfish, especially the Portuguese Man-o-war or other types known in your area to be especially dangerous.

How does Safesea Lotion protect against jellyfish?

Jellyfish sting by coming into contact with your skin, which triggers the firing of "nematocysts," which are like tiny little harpoons that inject jellyfish venom into your skin. Jellyfish can sting you even after the jellyfish is dead and washed up on the beach. Safesea has ingredients to prevent the nematocysts from firing when they touch your skin. This is huge. I've had several emails from people recently who were stung by sea nettle jellyfish. Had they been using Safesea they could have avoided the pain and inconvenience.

Safesea should not be used on children younger than 6 months of age.
