UV Protection

There are around 9,500 cases of melanoma diagnosed each year in the UK, the number of cases has almost tripled since the early 80s.

Over 2,300 people die from skin cancer each year in the UK. In fact there are more skin cancer deaths in the UK than in Australia, even though Australia has more cases of the disease.

Statistics obtained from Cancer Research UK. Please visit their site for further information on skin cancer.

Children are most at risk from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Shadow rule

If your shadow is longer than you are, then you are safe in the sun. When your shadow is shorter than you are, the sun can burn you.

If shade and UV protection are important to you, then check our colour chart to see how the colours compare.
