Sea & Ski
Sea & Ski, a sunscreen with a unique scent,[1][2] was invented by Charles Rolley,[3] who lived in Reno, Nevada. TIME called him a "kinetic promoter".[4] Rolley sold it to Botany Industries in 1955. It was sold in the late 1960s to Smith-Kline Pharmaceuticals. The brand was owned by Carter-Wallace[5] (Carter’s Liver Pills) until 1988, when it was purchased by Fabergé. Robert Bell,[6] executive and founder, sold off the Banana Boat tanning oil company, to Edgewell Personal Care for $30 million in 1990 and bought Sea & Ski Corp.[7][8] Faulding Consumer, of Mayne Nickless Ltd, an Australian[9] pharmaceutical company, purchased Sea & Ski in 2000 to go along with their other brand, Banana Boat. In 2003, the brand was sold to Pathfinder Management Inc.[10]
