Smartsun Wristband Tracks UV Exposure

Smartsun Wristband Tracks UV Exposure
May-12-14
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.

I have 2 children who are in and out of the water all day on holiday. Sounds like a great idea.

I want some of these. I'm a sailor in Cleveland, Ohio and these would be great to have for long days on the water. Are they available for purchase in the US?

Hello! The bands are available right now at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada but it will unfortunately be a while before they are available in US.
