Why is sunblock so damn expensive?

In article said:

I started driving to work the other day carrying my bike and planning a long ride that afternoon,
also knowing that I would be working outside (in the sun) that day. I realized that I had
forgotten my sunblock (the "cheap" no-ad stuff at "only" 5.99 a bottle at walmart), so I decided
to stop and buy some. The cheapest I found was that coppertone spray on stuff at 10.99 per bottle.
Now, I am wondering why in the hell the same stuff they've been selling year after year seems to
be going up faster than everything else.

Because there's no ozone layer left and they know you HAVE to buy it?

exactly. hunt around for deals. i found a brand called No Ad which is a fraction of the cost of the
popular name brands. the SPF 30 sport block works fine for me.
