The Smartsun wristband changes color after absorbing UV rays, making it easier to find the balance between a healthy and dangerous amount of sun.
Two years in the making, the Smartsun wristband is designed for one-time use. When the band's acid-release agent has been exposed to a certain amount of UV light, it will change the material's pH levels and cause the dye to change color—moving from yellow (unused) to pink (apply more sunscreen) and finally to a dark pink that indicates it is time to get out of the sun.
The Smartsun band is also unique in that it is meant to have the sunscreen applied to it as well as to the user's body, which helps increase its accuracy.
