When it comes to sun care, we desire unwavering protection – each and every day. Whether we're dashing to work, on the school run, gardening over the weekend, or travelling to a seriously sunny destination abroad, it’s so important to ensure that every member of the family is covered and safe from the sun. And this summer, Soltan is your ally, offering a wide range of products that deliver protection for your entire family.
Skin Cancer
The facts about sun exposure are sobering. The most common form of cancer in Ireland is skin cancer with more than 90 percent of skin cancers being caused by exposure to UV radiation from the sun or the use of sunbeds. The Irish Cancer Society reports that over 13,000 new cases are diagnosed every year and The National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCRI) expects this number to double by 2040.
And, as reported by the Irish Cancer Society, getting sunburnt in childhood or adolescence can increase the risk of melanoma – the most serious form of skin cancer – in later life. People receive most of their sun exposure before the age of 18. These stark facts, highlight the need to wear sun protection all year round, and particularly at this time of year.
Soltan Product Innovation
Soltan’s uncompromising 5* UVA protection spans the entire sun care ensuring the whole family’s sun care needs are covered, and joining the extensive range this year, are several new products specifically made for kids. Also available are innovative new formats that are making it easier than ever to get that vital protection onto your kids’ skin, so that you can relax, knowing they’re safe in the sun.
Two new formats that we think are extremely innovative and handy are:
Soltan Kids Once Suncare Roll On SPF50+
Just roll and go. Soltan Kids Once Suncare Roll On SPF50+ (RRP €8.50) is your handy one-stop sun protector, offering up to eight hours of sun protection, plus up to three hours’ water resistance*, should there be a pool or seaside handy. And the neat roll-on format is perfect for throwing into your weekend bag.
Soltan Kids Protect & Moisturise Suncare Roll On SPF50+
We’re big fans of the roll-on format for kids – somehow it’s much easier to apply than a thick cream, especially when it’s hot outside. And Soltan Kids Protect & Moisturise Suncare Roll On SPF50+ (RRP from €4.50) is extra water-resistant, featuring Soltan’s 5* UVA protection, so you can head away knowing you have your children’s sun care needs are covered; there’s also a lotion version, if you prefer.
Wherever you’re going and whatever you’re doing, Soltan have you (and your kids) covered! Shop Soltan exclusively at Boots stores nationwide and online at www.Boots.ie.
