UVSunSense (36 Unit Display)

Poolside, mid-afternoon, the exact moment sunscreen quietly stops working. UVSunSense is a wearable wristband, developed with photochromatic dye technology from a nuclear physicist, that changes colour to show when your sunscreen is still doing its job and when it's time to reapply. This 36-unit display box suits shops and studios that want it on the counter for beach and patio season.

Why you'll love it

• Uses photochromatic dyes that change colour as sunscreen wears off
• Works with sunscreen SPF 15 or higher
• Functions in salt water and chlorinated pools
• Sold as a 36-unit retail display
• An easy way to get kids used to reapplying sunscreen

How to use

Apply sunscreen to your skin as usual (about 1 ounce, or a shot glass full) and to the band at the same time. The band turns purple in the sun when you're protected, fades to lavender when it's time to reapply, and turns pale yellow when you're fully exposed.

Good to know

• Only works with sunscreen rated SPF 15 or higher
• The higher the SPF, the longer the band takes to change colour

FAQs

Does it still work at the pool or beach?
Yes, the band is designed to work in both salt water and chlorinated water, so it stays useful through swimming, not just sitting in the sun.

What SPF does my sunscreen need to be?
SPF 15 or higher. The band is applied alongside your sunscreen and changes colour as that protection wears off.
