Hammacher.com has developed an evaporating cooling cap that can keep the wearer 30 degrees cooler than the outside temperature. Solumbra.com markets a clothing line that provides protection from the sun; although the long-sleeved garments may look stuffy, they are extremely breathable and cool.
Several cosmetic products are also making a splash; Toofaced.com’s frozen lotion is one of the company’s best-selling products, and provides a quick topical chill. Prescriptives.com also sells bronzer that is heat-resistant, won’t cake or run in the sun, and adds a sun-kissed glow to skin.
Finally, Sea Breeze made the list as a cooling agent, though it is actually an astringent. Whoopi has long advocated a method of making homemade cooling cloths by dipping towels in Sea Breeze.
