The author replies to Underwood and MacNeil:

To accommodate waterproof sunscreen formulations, Underwood and MacNeil describe a substitution of water by propanol in the procedure for our experiment on sunscreens. I am confident that their modification works, for we first used propanol in developing the experiment. We switched to water to save on solvent costs. Given the trend in sunscreen formulations, the change they suggest improves the experiment.
