FOR US,
SUN PROTECTION
IS NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT…

IT’S OUR STORY. IT’S WHAT DRIVES US.

Sometimes, the unthinkable happens. That was the case when my 32-year-old husband, Darren, lost his battle with skin cancer. Because of this disease, our three little boys and I were left with a massive hole in our lives. This experience sparked a fire within me, and I became determined to help families stay protected through sun-safe education and innovative products. UV Skinz was born!

 

Today, I’m proud to say that what started as a passion project has become a global movement. The UV Skinz mission has touched households worldwide, and we have been able to provide protection to hundreds of thousands of families, ensuring that they can enjoy the sun with complete peace of mind. What's more, I’m happy to say UV Skinz has become a true family company. As mine and Darren’s boys have grown, they now work alongside me to fulfill our shared mission of spreading awareness and keeping families sun safe.

 

But our commitment goes beyond protecting families. We also recognize the need to preserve and safeguard our environment for future generations. That's why UV Skinz is dedicated to reducing our impact on the planet. In partnership with CleanHub, we are actively preventing 100,000 lbs of single-use, nonrecyclable plastics from entering our ocean ecosystems annually. To learn more about our environmental efforts and follow our journey, please visit our CleanHub Impact Report.

 

Thank you for being part of this journey with us and for helping spread sun-safety awareness. The impact we have been able to have would not be possible without your support. Now, get outside and enjoy some (safe) fun in the sun!
