When it comes to enjoying the sun, safety should never take a back seat. At Seabass, we believe in protecting what matters most—your skin and your family. One of the best ways to shield yourself from harmful sun exposure? UPF 50+ swimwear.

But what exactly does UPF mean, and how can it help prevent skin cancer? Let’s dive into everything you need to know about this essential sun-safe solution.

What Is UPF?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It’s the rating system used to measure how much UV radiation a fabric allows to reach your skin. A garment with a UPF of 50+ blocks 98% of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays, offering excellent protection.

In comparison, a white cotton T-shirt has a UPF of only about 5, which means your skin is still vulnerable to the damaging effects of the sun.

The Link Between UV Rays and Skin Cancer

Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation is the leading cause of skin cancer, including the most dangerous type—melanoma. According to the World Health Organization, up to 90% of non-melanoma skin cancers are associated with UV exposure.

Whether it’s a beach day, pool time, or just playing in the backyard, prolonged sun exposure can damage skin cells, leading to premature aging, sunburn, and a significantly higher risk of skin cancer over time.

How UPF 50+ Swimwear Protects You

UPF 50+ swimwear acts as a reliable physical barrier between your skin and the sun. Unlike sunscreen—which needs to be reapplied every 2 hours and can wash off—UPF swimwear offers continuous protection as long as you wear it.

Here’s how UPF swimwear makes a difference:

• Blocks 98% of UV rays.
• No need for frequent reapplication like sunscreen.
• Covers more surface area (like shoulders, back, and chest—common burn zones).
• Long-lasting protection, even when wet.
• Ideal for children, who are more vulnerable to UV damage.
