Designed in New Zealand, where the ozone layer is very thin, Snapper Rock has the expertise in ways we can protect our kids in the sun, without taking away their fun. They use the latest fabric technology, colors and designs. Their fabrics are lightweight, breathable and quick drying without compromising on style.
To guarantee sustainable collections, all fabrics have been printed or dyed in factories with Oeko-Tex® certification, ensuring no toxic or harmful chemicals have been used in the production of our garments.
Why is it so important to protect children from the sun?
Children's skin is much more sensitive and vulnerable to sun exposure than adults. This is partly because they haven’t yet developed all the melanin — the natural skin pigment that provides some sun protection — that they will have when they get older.
Did you know that a severe sunburn in childhood doubles the risk of developing skin cancers in adulthood?
