Smartsun is a UV dosimeter that measures the total exposure of UVA and UVB radiation during the day. This is seen through a color change, which turns orange when you need to reapply, and pink for when you should go inside. The products change color through a chemical reaction that is regulated by UV radiation; the more intense UV radiation, the faster the chemical reaction will go and the product will change color.

Yes, the sticker and wristbands are water in salt, fresh, and chlorinated water.

Our packaging is made from paper and can be paper recycled. The UV sticker and wristband are made from recyclable plastics and can be recycled.

Yes. Keep in mind that the stronger the SPF in the sunscreen is, the longer it will take for the indicators to change color.

Two years. (Indicators must be kept out of sunlight until use.)

Majority of “UV Indicators” only show the amount of direct UV radiation at that moment. Therefore, the color changes back to the original shade. These indicators do not account for the accumulated UV exposure for the day.

Smartsun UV Indicators measure the cumulative radiation, tells you when to reapply sunscreen, and when to go inside to prevent burning. The indicators measure both UVA and UVB radiation, and does not reverse it’s color. Also, Smartsun is specially designed for those with sensitive skin, particularly children.

All our products are made and quality assured in Sweden. The facility we use is ISO certified.

Absolutely! Keep in mind the stronger the sun, the faster the color of the product will change.

No, the products are single use. After a day, the product should be disposed of in the plastics recycling bin, even if it has not changed color.

No, the products measure the total radiation you’re exposed to during the day. Therefore, like UV exposure on your skin, the color change will not reverse. When sunscreen is applied to the indicator the color change pauses until the sunscreen dissipates.
