Gerber Finance announced it funded a $2.5 million credit line for Pure Sun Defense, a new sunscreen product. After actor Hugh Jackman had four skin cancers removed in the last 18 months, he collaborated with business partner, Chris Clark to  launch a new "youth friendly" sunscreen line in his fight against skin cancer. Pure Sun Defense was created for one main reason — to fight skin cancer, and the amazing design of kid-friendly characters on bottles will make it easier to get kids to wear sunscreen.

"Pure Sun Defense had several financing options, but we ultimately chose Gerber Finance because of their genuine interest and understanding of our challenges in running a seasonal business.  We value their attention to our needs and the speed in addressing our financing requests". Chris Clarke, President.
