A spray bottle which delivers caffeine to the body through the skin is the latest product in the surge of consumables marketing caffeine like a drug you would never want to go without. The product, called Sprayable Energy, is a creation of Harvard undergrad Ben Yu and venture capitalist Deven Soni, and it contains just three ingredients: “caffeine, water, and a compound that helps it be absorbed by our skin (a derivative of the naturally-occurring amino acid tyrosine).” As a result of the sharp rise in caffeinated products, the FDA plans to (finally) investigate the safety of caffeine, especially its effects on children and adolescents.
