As two mothers in South Florida, we began searching for sun protective swimwear as an alternative to chemical sunscreen. In our quest, we discovered how difficult it was to find quality sun protective swimwear in the United States. Consequently, we decided to launch a business specializing in quality sun protective wear for children. We are mothers of two year olds and both grew up in the Caribbean loving the sun and water. Our families spend a good majority of time in the sun. Therefore, we know how important it is to protect our little ones from the sun while still being able to enjoy an active lifestyle outdoors. Jointly, we are dedicating our efforts and resources to provide you with quality and fashionable sun protective swimwear to keep your families safe.
In this day and age of global warming and concerns about the ozone, it is essential that consumers educate themselves about the sun, its hazards, and how to best protect themselves and their families. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, more than 90% of all skin cancers are the result of exposure to UV rays. Furthermore, according to the American Cancer Society, research shows a link between sunburns in children and an increased risk of melanoma and skin cancer later in life. Even though sunscreen should always be a part of your sun safety regimen, many sunscreens have chemicals, which can be irritating to the skin. Since the sun is such an integral part of our lives, everybody needs to learn and follow the basic principles of sun safety. FUN RAYS is here to provide you with high quality sun protective wear to keep you and your family safe while you are having fun.
Here are the top reasons why wearing sun protective wear is an integral part of any sun safety regimen.
- The American Cancer Society, American Academy of Dermatology, and the Skin Cancer Foundation all agree that covering up is an important part of sun safety and sun protective fabrics can provide high protection.
- Sun protective wear provides continuous 50 UPF/SPF (ultraviolet protection factor/sun protection factor) broad spectrum sun protection blocking over 97.5% of UV rays without the worry of whether the sunscreen has worn off.
- Sun protective wear provides better protection than a wet t-shirt (which can provide as low as 5 SPF).
- No absorption of chemical sunscreens that could irritate the skin.
- While wearing sun protective wear, there is no need to reapply sunscreen except on the uncovered areas which are minimized with the sun protective wear.
- We all know how hard is to chase small children while having fun at the beach or pool to reapply sunscreen. The experts contend that despite the directions on waterproof sunscreen labels, sunscreen should be reapplied every eighty minutes to two hours.
- Keeps the child free of rash and helps to keep the child cool in hot weather.
