Recent visitore used Riemann P20 sun cream every day, and swam in our chlorinated pool, which has a white-painted wall which runs up asnd over to provide a white outline about a foot wide around the pool.
From day 2, the waterline was stained a brown/yellow colour, and this required vigorous scrubbing to remove. This had to be done every day, to the point where we basgan to become concerned about the paint thinning.
Immediately our visitors departed, the problem ceased.
Riemann's website says to avoid using chlorine on clothes exposed to P20, but says nothing about chlorine washing the cream off, as we have found daily over a 2-week period.
Riemann's product and chlorine do not mix, so the product is not suitable for use in chlorinated pools in my opinion, as it appears to wassh off, thus reducing protection to the person, and causing a mess for pool owners to clear up.
