"Those who go on vacation without UV protection come back sick."

With these drastic words, dermatologists and cancer researchers warn of the high UV exposure worldwide. The UV index, a measure of the intensity of UV radiation, has multiplied over the past 20 years. The best means for skin health: UV protective clothing.

Why do vacationers and hosts need UV protection?

Anyone exposing themselves to the sun unprotected today quickly suffers sunburn. This external sign, coupled with skin irritation up to severe pain, is only the tip of the iceberg of the damage caused by UV rays. After just a few minutes, the skin layer can no longer regulate itself, even without visible burns. Skin cells are irreversibly damaged, and the risk of skin cancer increases with each unprotected sunbathing session - throughout life.

Responsible hosts inform their vacationers early on and offer UV protection clothing and sun protection products in their shops. In addition, since 2019, German lawmakers have obligated employers to protect all employees. Professional associations inspect these measures, and hefty fines loom. How can this be avoided?

Sunscreen or UV-Protective Clothing?

Sunscreen alone is not sufficient! Firstly, the cream is rarely applied in sufficient quantity, and its effectiveness lasts only a short time. Depending on the skin type and sun protection factor, the sunscreened skin can be exposed to the sun for between 20 minutes and about three hours. The frequently heard demand for "reapplying" is useless, as the skin has already reached its daily limit of exposure. Additionally, sunscreen is a major contributor to coral and fish deaths in the oceans and causes tons of plastic waste daily.

The better alternative is sustainable and certified UV-protective clothing. "iQ UV" uses waste from the seas, such as old fishing nets and PET bottles, to create robust and tightly woven fabrics that adhere to the highest UV protection standards. UV caps, UV shirts, UV shorts, UV dresses, and much more for women, men, and children make vacations a safe pleasure – from the first to the last day.
