The American Academy of Dermatology recommends broad-spectrum sunscreen (protects against UVA and UVB rays) of SPF 30 or higher to reduce skin aging and risk of skin cancer. We take this recommendation seriously. All Sun50 fabrics exceed the dermatologist recommended level of UV sun protection (SPF 30) and our fabrics have received the prestigious Skin Cancer Seal of Recommendation. This seal certifies to you, our UV fabric testing has been professionally reviewed by a trusted team of scientists and medical doctors who comprise the Photobiology Committee for The Skin Cancer Foundation. The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation garment tag proudly hangs from every Sun50 style. Our goal is for you to enjoy wearing our lightweight fabrics with confidence.
