Summer is full of joy, play, and unforgettable moments at the beach or playground. But for young children, especially those aged 6 months to 3 years, sun protection is not just necessary… It's essential. And that's where textile sun protection comes in.
☀️ Why not just sunscreen?
While sunscreens are important, they’re not enough on their own. A toddler’s skin is much thinner and more sensitive than an adult’s, making it more vulnerable to sunburn and UV damage.
👶 In addition:
-
Sunscreen can wash off with water or sweat.
-
It needs to be reapplied frequently, which isn’t always easy at the beach.
-
It doesn’t fully protect areas like the neck or shoulders, which are often heavily exposed.
👕 The solution: UV textile protection (UV clothing)
UV clothing is made from specially treated fabrics that filter out UVA & UVB rays. A high-quality UV garment can offer protection equivalent to SPF 50 or more—without the need for constant reapplication.
🔹 Benefits:
-
Full coverage of sensitive areas (e.g., back, shoulders, neck)
-
Breathable and comfortable fabric
-
Quick-drying – ideal for swimming
-
Eco-friendly: Many UV garments are made from recycled materials
