Be Skin Safe As Weather Warms Up

With 2006 being the hottest year since records began and 2007 predicted to beat this record, we all need to be aware of the damaging effects caused by UVA & UVB.

Skin damaged caused by UVA & UVB exposure can be fatal, with over 65,400 cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year in the UK making it the most common type of cancer (as reported by Cancer Research UK).

Trish McOwan, Managing Director of SolarSafe Ltd, takes this threat very seriously. Frustrated by not knowing if her young boys were protected in the sun, Trish was interested in finding something to monitor their sun exposure. She came up with SolarSafe Wristbands which doubles as an ID bracelet, and a range of effective Suncare products.

The sun monitor waterproof wristband enables you to see at a glance your family's exposure to harmful UV radiation. The wristband goes through a series of colour changes showing the wearer when they need to reapply sunscreen and when they have reached the maximum UV exposure for the day.

SolarSafe 2 in 1 Family Sunscreen is waterproof, sweatproof, oil free, DEET free, and has a built in natural insect repellent. The range also includes handy sunscreen wipes, face stick and lip shield, all SPF 30+.
