"We look forward to partnering with RIPA to provide New York City residents with free, easy access to sunscreen," said Alex Beck, co-founder of Bright Guard, in the press release. "The initiative embodies our company's central purpose—to reduce the risks and effects of sun exposure and promote sun-safe lifestyles by providing sunscreen everywhere we live, work and play."
The dispensers are battery powered and will feature an infrared sensor, imprint area, unbreakable mirror and the capacity for 1,000 sunscreen applications.
The Randall's Island Park initiative follows similar successful programs in Boston and West Palm Beach, Fla.
