check out our press release to learn more about sunsnapz:


NC mom turns a need for sun protection into a unique and useful product line to fight skin cancer.



Did you know that regular fabrics do not provide adequate protection from the sun?

Our sunsnapz products were created by parents for parents to protect those we love the most. Our lightweight, ultra-soft cotton blankets, accessories, and apparel are designed for everyday use and block out 97% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, without the addition of any chemicals.

Our products were founded on the following premises:

  • Sun protection should begin at birth, however sunscreen should not be used until after 6 months of age—making the first few months of life an ideal time for our sunsnapz sun protective products. Our versatile "snapz" design and multiple sizes are meant to suit the growing needs of your child.
  •  One blistering or five non-blistering childhood sunburns double the lifetime risk of developing melanoma, a potentially fatal form of skin cancer.
  • The development of skin cancer has been linked to both intensive (beach, pool) and non-intensive (daily outdoor activities such as playing in the backyard or at the park) sun exposure. In fact the sun’s harmful UV rays can come through the windows in your home or car!
  • Standard fabrics do not provide adequate protection from the sun during daily play or time at the beach.
sunsnapz ... for a safe nap in the sun ...

Seven facts every parent should know about children and sun safety:

zero - the number (almost) of standard cotton fabrics that provide adequate protection from the sun!

one - the number of blistering sunburns in childhood necessary to double the lifetime risk of melanoma, a potentially fatal form of skin cancer!

two - types of sun exposure in childhood linked to development of skin cancer - intermittent (e.g. beach and pool) and chronic (e.g. everyday play)!

three - types of skin cancer linked to sun exposure beginning in childhood!

four - the number of seasons in which sun exposure is critical!

five - the number of non-blistering sunburns in childhood necessary to double lifetime risk of melanoma!

six - months of age before it is safe and recommended for a baby to wear sunscreen!
