UV-Protection Clothing for Babies and Toddlers: Effective Protection from the Sun

UV clothing provides essential protection for delicate baby skin, because toddlers and babies have a different skin type from adults: Their skin is particularly sensitive to the sun's rays, even when the radiation intensity is low. Little ones are therefore more susceptible to sunburn and long-term skin damage
That is why it is advisable to rely on UV-Protection clothing both in the sun and in the shade. Especially on Hats, to prevent sunburn on the head and neck!

Important: Despite its high UV-Protection, UV-Protection clothing is not a substitute for sunscreen. So remember to apply enough sunscreen for optimal protection from the sun, because your little one is only sufficiently protected with additional sunscreen! 


Buying UV Clothing for Babies: What Should You Look For?

When buying UV Clothing for your baby, you should pay attention to the following points:

✓    UV-Protection: Choose the appropriate protection factor, from 15 to 50+.
✓    Fit: UV-protective swimwear (e.g. Swim Suits) should fit well against the body but not be too tight.
✓    Material: High-quality products promise long-lasting fun in the water and swimming. Our materials are OEKO-TEX® certified, particularly breathable, durable and easy to care for.
✓    Design: Choose styles that adequately cover your baby's arms and legs, and enjoy appealing motifs for girls and boys.
✓    additional protection: Applying sunscreen regularly in addition is the best protection for your child!

Frequently Asked Questions About UV Clothing for Babies and Toddlers (FAQ )

Do babies need UV clothing?

Yes, babies have very thin and therefore sensitive skin that is particularly susceptible to UV damage. Especially when splashing around in the water, often for hours, it is difficult to notice direct sunlight on wet skin. But UV rays can also reach the skin and cause long-term damage on cloudy days or in the shade. That is why, alongside sunscreen, UV clothing offers the best protection for your child.


Do babies sweat in UV clothing?

No, our high-quality UV clothing is OEKO-TEX® certified and made from tested materials that ensure a comfortable feel when worn. 


How does UV-Protection clothing work?

Our UV clothing is made from special fibers and partly consists of multiple materials, effectively blocking harmful UV rays . We use high-quality fabrics to manufacture our textiles, ensuring that our clothing fits flexibly and comfortably while retaining its shape. 


What does UPF mean?

UPF stands for “Ultraviolet Protection Factor” and indicates as a UV-Protection factor how long UV swimwear, shirts or Sun Hats can protect your child from the sun's rays without causing skin damage. The UPF value  is comparable to the sun or sun protection factor of sunscreens (SPF) and is classified in different ways:

●    UPF 30: The fabric allows approximately 3% of harmful UV radiation to pass through
●    UPF 50: allows only approximately 2% UV permeability
●    UPF 50+: The material allows less than 2% of UV radiation to pass through


How can UV clothing be washed?

Depending on the material, our UV clothing can be washed at temperatures between 30° C and 40° C. You can find out more about caring for your product in the care instructions on the label  of the respective item of clothing. UV-Protection can decrease over time due to frequent wearing and washing.
