SunGuard laundry aid washes UV protection into clothing and helps block more than 96 percent of the sun's harmful rays from reaching skin.
Applying sunscreen and covering up with a T-shirt may seem like complete sun protection, but are you really shielded from the damaging rays of the sun? The fact is, you aren't. Harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can actually penetrate clothing and leave you vulnerable to skin damage.
As Dr. Linda Franks, a leading New York dermatologist explains, "Most people believe their clothing gives them adequate protection from the sun. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. In fact, many white cotton T-shirts, a summertime wardrobe staple, only provide an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 5. That is significantly less than the recommended UPF of 15 and puts the wearer at risk for skin damage." Dr. Franks adds, "It's especially important to protect our children's skin from harmful UV rays since more than 80% of skin damage occurs by the age of 18."
However, now with SunGuard, the only laundry aid in the U.S. that washes UV skin protection into clothes, you can instantly boost the protection level of your favorite summertime clothes to a UPF of 30. With the active ingredient Tinosorb FD, a UV protectant from Ciba Specialty Chemicals, SunGuard helps block more than 96 percent of the sun's harmful rays from reaching skin.
By adding one package of SunGuard to a warm or hot water laundry load along with laundrydetergent, you wash in a skin-saving UPF of 30 and protection against damaging rays, that lasts for up to 20 washings. And, SunGuard won't change the color or comfort of clothing and is safe for even the most sensitive skin.
