About Hamilton

HISTORY OF HAMILTON

IN THE LATE 1920S, MILTON BLAKE, A YOUNG ADELAIDE CHEMIST, EXPERIMENTED WITH THE PRODUCTION OF A SUNBURN CREAM. HE HAD READ ABOUT A SUBSTANCE THAT POSSESSED THE PROPERTY OF ABSORBING THE BURNING ULTRA-VIOLET RAYS OF THE SUN.

With the aid of a room heater, saucepans for containers and a pair of old-fashioned hand scales, Milton Blake made many attempts to incorporate this substance in a cream base. Eventually a process was evolved and a sunburn preventative cream was produced. The formula was tested by Professor Kerr Grant at the University of Adelaide and found to offer ultraviolet protection.

In 1932, Hamilton Laboratories was established by Milton Blake and colleagues to begin production of one of the world’s first commercial sunscreens. In Milton Blake’s transcripts he referred to himself as H.A. Milton, which reveals how he derived the company’s name. Since then the Hamilton sunscreens have undergone continuous development, testing and improvements and Hamilton has become a leading sun care brand.

Hamilton subsequently extended it’s range, developing skincare products that soothe and protect dry and sensitive skin, from our harsh Australian environment

Hamilton. Comfortable Skin in Australian conditions.

AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS

WHAT ARE THE AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS AND WHY ARE THEY SO HARSH? FIND OUT WHAT YOUR SKIN GOES THROUGH DAILY, IN AUSTRALIA.
Australia's climate varies greatly throughout the eight states and territories; there are four seasons across most of the country and a wet and dry season in the tropical north.

It is not uncommon for the peak of summer to reach a staggering 40°C across Australia with UV levels reaching UV index of 11-12. Just to put this into perspective, a UV index of 3 and above is when sunscreen should be applied.

Whilst in the peak of winter, temperatures can drop as low as 3°C across the Eastern and Southern territories. Although cold, rainfall is gradually decreasing, causing longer droughts. This means the winter air often lacks the moisture needed to keep our skin well hydrated.

Of course, we know one of the benefits of our great country is the opportunity to have fun and enjoy time with family and friends outdoors. But we also know the harsh, dry conditions of Australia put stress on our skin. Over exposure to the sun has been directly linked to causing some skin cancers and Australia has one of the highest rates of Melanoma in the world.

The extreme dry winter air leaches moisture and can cause dry skin. This highlights the importance of a good skincare routine, inside, outdoors and all year round. Whether its protecting your skin from the harsh summer sun or rehydrating from winter’s bitter air, or air conditioning. Hamilton moisturises and protects skin giving you and your family comfort in our Australian conditions.

The "official" highest temperature recorded in Australia was at Oodnadatta in South Australia on the 2nd of January 1960, it was 50.7 degrees Celsius.
