Once upon a time, many many years ago, in 1953, the well-known commercial artist of the time, Joyce Brand, drew on her camvas a little girl who, wearing her bathing suit, plays carefree with her dog on the beach. At the time, no one could imagine that this would mark a decade and become a symbol for Americans. Coppertone, a pioneer during all these years, is currently a global brand. It operates in 44 countries, in 5 continents; it is the Nr. 1 sunscreen brand in the USA and Nr. 3 worldwide.
