FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW CAREMATES SUNSCREEN AND INSECT REPELLENT WIPES PROVIDE DOUBLE DUTY PROTECTION!

Protection is Now Easy and Convenient

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL(PRWEB) September 22 2003--- Shepard Medical Products, of Elk Grove Village, IL, has announced the new product introduction of CareMates Sunscreen Wipes and CareMates Insect Repellent Wipes, products developed to work in tandem to offer you the highest level of protection from stinging insects and the burning sun. The pre-moistened wipes are the most convenient, clean method to apply lotions on the go and avoiding the mess of lotions from a bottle.

Double Duty Protection: First, apply the CareMates Sunscreen Wipe to exposed skin and allow to dry for approximately one minute. Once the sunscreen has dried, apply the CareMates Insect Repellent Wipe over the sunscreen on exposed skin. The insect repellent will not degrade the effectiveness of the sunscreen.

CareMates Oil-Free Sunscreen Wipes are pre-moistened and PABA-free, providing effective SPF 30 protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. The fast absorbing formula will keep your skin feeling fresh and clean, while the vitamin E enriched properties also help to prevent peeling and dryness. CareMatesä Oil-Free Sunscreen Wipes will continue working for up to 80 minutes of heavy perspiration or water activity.

·    SPF 30 provides a broad spectrum of UVA/UVB protection up to 30 times longer than unprotected skin.

·    Oil-free and PABA-free formula is non-greasy and gentle on the skin.

·    Vitamin E enriched to help prevent peeling and dryness.

·    Retains SPF for up to 80 minutes of activity in the water, or heavy perspiration.

CareMates Insect Repellent Wipes help protect from West Nile Virus and Lyme Disease by warding off the most bothersome biting insects including mosquitoes, ticks, stable flies, chiggers, black flies, gnats, deer flies, and fleas. CareMates Insect Repellent Wipes are also safe for the environment; since there's no spraying, plants and grasses are never harmed by excess repellent falling from the air.
