P 20 sun cream

DH and I are going on our dream holiday to Barbados in a week.s time, and thanks to your MSE readers I have tracked down some P 20 sun cream (Wilco's, couldn't find it anywhere else). Now this stuff is vital because we both have red hair, and in the sun red skin!!!
Now I have a bit of a puzzle to fathom, because the moment I opened the bottle and smelled the stuff, WHAM..... I was 14 again and my mum was covering me with a very liquid sun lotion which really did stop me from burning. She also had a fair skin, and had spent 5 years in Guyana, using the Magic Elixir and never being burned.
In later years I also used this lotion on both our children (you got it- red hair, fair skin ) and never had them burned in the sun.
This P 20 is a little thicker in texture, but smells and feels exactly like the old favourite, and I got to wondering whatever happened to it? I don't remember it's name, and wonder if anyone else remembers it, and what happened to it, is it still around, or did another really good product go the way of others and got swallowed up by the multi-nationals?
