Funnyman Will Ferrell is raising money for a cancer charity by rolling out a new range of sunscreens just in time for summer.

The star has slapped his name on a trio of lotions, available in Sexy Hot Tan, Sunstroke and Forbidden Fruit, in a bid to encourage people to lather on protective cream - and to raise money for Cancer For College, a foundation which gives scholarships to cancer patients.

The Anchorman comic insists he was happy to loan his star power to the project - and he'll be stocking all three bottles, which feature images of Ferrell in various states of undress.

Ferrell jokes, "The bottle says it all. I've always dreamed of owning a lotion company."
