JADS International created a new type of sunscreen product – UV Sunscreen Bands. The product is designed to make it easy and fun for children and adults to detect UV exposure, by reminding you to reapply sunscreen.

“What most people don’t know is that the intensity of UV radiation depends on a multitude of factors including altitude, latitude, season, air pollution, clouds in the sky. And, until now, determining sun exposure was somewhat of a guessing game for consumers,” said Andrew Levine, CEO, JADS.

Levine continues, “With skin cancer on the rise, we wanted to create a product that would take sunscreen to the next level and keep people safe and in-the-know regarding the strength of the sun.”

Sunscreen Bands have patented color changing technology that detects the level of UVA & UVB rays based on the SPF level of an individual’s sunscreen lotion, spray or cream.

Once in the sun, the user places the band around their wrist. When the band turns dark purple, they lather or spray sunscreen over the band.

From dark purple, the bands turn light purple (lavender) as a reminder to reapply sunscreen. This occurs due to the sunscreen losing its strength to protect, thus allowing UV rays to turn the band to light purple (lavender).

Next, the bands gradually turn cream color to alert the wearer that they have reached maximum sun exposure for the day.
