New Sunburn Alert UV-measuring stickers hit market

BALTIMORE — Sunburn Alert, the creators of sunscreen wristbands, has expanded its product line with new UV-measuring stickers that are now available in a variety of designs and colors.



The stickers, designed for both adults and children, measure Ultra Violet (UV) and Ultra Violet B (UVB) exposure and change color to indicate when it's time to reapply sunscreen or seek shade. The stickers, which work only when sunscreen is applied or sprayed directly to the sticker, start off white, transition to bright blue when activated by SPF sunscreen application, and then turn light blue when it's time to reapply sunscreen. When the sticker turns light yellow, the wearer has reached their maximum sun exposure for the day based on the SPF in their sunscreen.

According to the company, the Sunburn Alert products have received the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval and the company partners with the Shade Foundation and the Melanoma Research Alliance.



"UV measuring Alert Stickers are the next big thing in sunburn prevention," stated Andrew Levine, CEO of Sunburn Alert, which is owned and operated by JADS International. "Children love stickers, but they don't always love applying sunscreen. Our stickers make sunscreen application fun and children love the designs and watching the stickers change color with their level of sun exposure. They will quickly become a family favorite."
