What are UV Skinz?

The company was established after Rhonda Sparks, the Founder and President, lost her husband to skin cancer when he was just 32 years old in 2001. This sparked Rhonda's passion to raise awareness and educate others about sun protection, but never losing sight of how valuable it is to PLAY and HAVE FUN outdoors!
UV Skinz sun protective swim shirts are stylish and carry a UPF rating of 50+, which blocks out over 98% of the sun’s harmful rays, protecting delicate skin from damaging sunburns.
Everyone should feel free in the sun wearing UV Skinz. Its UV protection never washes off and it won't leave you with sunblock all over your hands as your naked toddler runs down the hall!
As a Mom and loyal UV Skinz customer, I love to hear your thoughts, comments, suggestions and questions! Just email me at kalisha(at)uvskinz(dot)com
