We’re thrilled to announce that Sun Patch has been featured in Women's Wear Daily (WWD) as part of their "New Sun Protection Shopping List." The article highlights a fresh wave of innovative products aimed at ensuring you don’t feel the burn—and Sun Patch is leading the way with our reusable, waterproof UPF 50 stickers designed to bolster your sun protection.
The Rising Demand for Effective Sun Protection
As WWD notes, the sunscreen market is on track to reach $9 billion by 2028, a testament to growing awareness about the importance of sun safety. However, despite this increasing demand, there’s a disconnect between knowledge and action. Multiple studies show that Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z are still not getting adequate protection, even though many claim to be mindful of their time in the sun. Most people can’t even identify non-melanoma skin cancer, which underscores the need for better education and more accessible sun protection tools.
The recent viral Twitter post featuring a 92-year-old woman’s sun-damaged neck, contrasting with the well-preserved skin on her face where sunscreen was consistently applied, serves as a powerful reminder. Yet, despite this, the dangerous Y2K tanning bed trend and unapproved tan-boosting nasal sprays continue to trend on platforms like TikTok. We seem to be blinded by light—but there’s a solution.
Sun Patch: Innovative, Fun, and Effective
Enter Sun Patch, a modern twist on sun protection that’s as functional as it is stylish. WWD describes our product as "an extra line of defense" for those areas most prone to sun exposure, particularly the face. Designed with reusability in mind, our UPF 50 patches provide top-tier protection and are available in three fun colorways, ensuring that shielding your skin from harmful rays doesn’t have to feel like a chore.
As board-certified dermatologist Dr. Orit Markowitz shared in the WWD article, the key to effective sun protection lies in using the latest innovations and educational tools. With Sun Patch, we’re making protection not only easier but also more enjoyable. From the beach to outdoor sports, our waterproof patches stay in place, ensuring you stay protected—even in water.
A Bright Future for Sun Protection
At Sun Patch, we believe that effective sun protection should be both accessible and enjoyable. By providing a stylish, easy-to-use alternative to traditional sunscreen creams, we aim to make it simpler for everyone to guard their skin against the harmful effects of the sun. With products like ours featured in publications like Women's Wear Daily, it’s clear that the future of sun protection is both bright and innovative.
