(Carnival Cruises) Ever wanted to taste your sunscreen? Carnival Cruise Line and Van Leeuwen Ice Cream today announced a sweet seasonal surprise: Sunscreen-flavored ice cream.

The flavor is designed as a cheeky nod to summer’s signature scent and aims to combat what Carnival calls the “End-of-Summer Scaries”—that bittersweet feeling when the season of sunshine and carefree moments winds down. The imaginative twist on America’s favorite treat proves that the joy of summer doesn’t have to end when the calendar says so. But what does it taste like? Well, the ingredients include: cream, coconut cream, milk, cane sugar, egg yolks, cocoa butter, natural flavors, vanilla extract and sea salt.
​
While the Sunscreen ice cream won’t be available for public purchase initially, the brands are inviting fans to share their reactions online. If the buzz is big enough, a limited-time run of the flavor could be on the horizon.
